> All of these teens use Google Docs instead of OpenAI Docs, Google Meet instead of OpenAI Meet, Gmail instead of OpenAI Mail, etc.

Google Docs, Google Meet and Gmail provide a tiny fraction of Google's overall revenue. And they're hardly integrated in with Google's humongous money maker, search, in a way that matters (Gmail has ads but my guess is that its direct revenue is tiny compared to search - the bigger value is the personalization of ads that Google can do by knowing more about you).

> I'm sure that far fewer people to go gemini.google.com than to chatgpt.com, but Google has LLMs seamlessly integrated in each of these products, and it's a part of people's workflows at school and at work.

But the product isn't "LLMs", the product is really "where do people go to find information", because that is where the money to be made in ads is.

I definitely don't think that OpenAI "winning" means Google is going anywhere soon, but I do agree with the comments that OpenAI has a huge amount of advertising potential, and that for a lot of people, especially younger people, "ChatGPT" is how they think of gen AI, and it's there first go-to resource when they want to look something up online.
