Beyond all the other stupid decisions, why did they launch in the US in this state? Usually Canada and Australia are used as guinea pigs for similar but much smaller market if something goes bad
The smart money is on the rumor that OpenAI was going to launch a search engine this month or next. That turned out to be false, and what they were really launching was GPT-4o; but it seems like Google believed the rumors and decided that they had to act first or risk being second place; unfortunately for Google, the gamble relied on "SearchGPT" (1) existing, and (2) being worse than SGE.
