No it's not obvious at all Google is winning AI on every front.
There is few stuff Google is systemically behind:
1) UX
2) product and use case innovation
I just open Google Gemini Android app and asked to generate a JS script with Gemini 2 Flash and did the same with ChatGPT.
Gemini did not highlighted with colors the code. ChatGPT did highlighted with colors the code.
Colors in code are extremely useful to grok the code and have a nice DX.
I'm sure if I dig into Gemini's product I'll find dozens of UX/DX ways in which ChatGPT is better.
Google is still playing catch-up with LLM products. ChatGPT is still the one making the announcements and then Gemini doing the same UX/use case enhancements weeks/months later.
