I believe I speak for everyone when I say: As long as the AI does something helpful I don't care how you structure the team. But the current generative craze with "AI generated backgrounds" is a dead end. Give me better AI autocomplete, AI image correction, AI noise cancellation...
I don't know anything involved in the process, but I hope this doesn't make it any harder for regulators to break them up when the day finally comes.

It seems like Google didn't learn the lesson from Google+ and is going to do another fear-driven reorg.
Mobile OSes are now a boring, stable environment. All this noise about AI seems like an attempt to convince investors that some paradigm-shifting change is on the way. It isn't. A mildly better Google Assistant is on the way.
I'd say that creates a huge conflict of interest.
That's one of the big reasons why Nokia Series60 didn't take off as a licensed OS: Whatever Samsung or LG or Lenovo wanted to build on that platform to differentiate, they had to involve Nokia during the development (who then developed the needed OS-feature in parallel to the Nokia product that will make use of it).
Google is either very secure that their grip on all these HW-vendors is strong enough forcing them to stay, or they are no longer part of Google's long-term strategy for Android.
Yawn. Get back to me when something of actual note gets launched. Mobile OSes are now a boring, stable environment. All this noise about AI seems like an attempt to convince investors that some paradigm-shifting change is on the way. It isn't. A mildly better Google Assistant is on the way.
It's going to be a tremendous success, I can feel it already.
