All my google searches do AI then its an easy click to a deeper AI dive.

This greatly disincentives me from visiting chatgpt or other competitors. Google is probably the most popular AI service right now. I don't see how they can be beat in this regard.

Not knowing the name gemini is actually impressive. How many people know Acrobat Adobe is called Acrobat? Its just Adobe. They subsumed the pdf market so much, you dont even realize you have a pdf reader. You just call it by the company name. Same with Xerox'ing copies or whatever. I think the hype cycle is for the big flashy AI companies with eccentric-style CEOs saying carefully crafted "outrage PR" sensationalism, but google is slowly eating everyone's lunch right now. Joe and Jane internet user are already trained and loyal to google and using Gemini probably a dozen or more times a day.

I'm a little surprised at myself because I just have been using google for nearly all AI stuff. For deeper dives into code I may use another tool, but gemini is good enough for most uses. I think this war is google's to lose. If they continue doing this strategy, they will 'win' the AI market, or at least a good part of it. Then AI will become just another boring feature in your search or whatever the same way people used to agonize over PDF readers, but now its just a boring thing built into your browser or, if at work, its "The Adobe."
