OpenAI is still massively unprofitable and MSFT is (rightly IMO) going to invest way more money in them so itβs definitely still a drain. A modest drain relative to MSFTs overall resources
As much as I'd love an OpenAI-style API from Google, I'm not expecting that. It will probably be "profitable" to them in the unseen backend making Search, Google Assistant, etc better. I've been playing with Bard a lot and it's pretty good, but OpenAI's API offering just makes them so much more useful to me since I can use whatever app I want (or even write my own) to consume the product, and it's easy for me to see the value for my dime.
