The difference between openAI and Google is that openAI has only 2 percent of customers paying for their service and bleeding financially - so theoretically they will run out of money one day when investors lose patience. Google, on the other hand, is a 25+ year old company that has a range of products; so it will very likely stand up to this, even if some of it is not profitable. And we'll always need search in that flood of data.
