Google leans heavily on AI buzzwords in Pixel 8 launch to avoid looking left behind after ChatGPT's viral success
-
Google mentioned "AI" over 50 times during its Pixel 8 launch event, aggressively positioning itself as an AI leader after OpenAI's ChatGPT success.
-
In contrast, Google's 2016 Pixel launch focused more on useful features than AI buzzwords.
-
Some new Pixel 8 AI features like auto-generating social media captions seem pointless beyond showing off AI abilities.
-
Google seems anxious to avoid looking left behind in the AI hype and responded aggressively to Microsoft's AI integration.
-
While Google calls itself an "AI company," customers ultimately just want useful features, not AI buzzwords.
