Gemini launch cancellation raises concerns about Google's AI capabilities

Google's cancellation of the Gemini launch, a model that is supposed to outperform humans in language understanding tests, suggests that the company may be further behind OpenAI than initially thought. The late cancellation is seen as a red flag, indicating potential problems with the product's readiness, speed, and reliability. The disappointment is compounded by the release of a video demo that was edited for brevity and did not accurately represent real-time interaction with the AI model. These issues raise questions about Google's leadership and organizational problems, as well as its ability to compete in the AI space.
