Some arguments would be welcome.

You're the one making the false claim, the onus is on you to provide evidence that none of their technology is innovative. But since you seem the type to just write and not check anything, let me give you some ideas of technologies who became widely accepted as the standard, because they were so much better than the competition:
Google Search - The most widely used search engine in the world that revolutionized the way people find information on the internet. This is why you call it 'googling'
Google Maps - A popular mapping service that provides real-time traffic updates, street view, and directions. It has become an essential tool for navigation.
Google Earth - A virtual globe that allows users to explore the world in 3D, and view maps, satellite imagery, and terrain.
Google Android - An open-source mobile operating system that powers the majority of smartphones and tablets worldwide.
Gmail, Google Drive, Google Translate are also great products who've had many innnovative ideas. People use google translate to travel in countries where they don't speak the language.
I assume you'd say none of those can be deemed innovative? Also I see another commenter has pointed out to you that google literally were part of inventing the technology behind ChatGPT lol
Edit: typos. But why do I even bother, you'd just downvote and move on anyway

Android and earth were just bought right?
And calling google translate innovative when translators on web have been since the 2000s
I mean google does innovate, but its not the first line on it

There were also other searches before google search. Ideas are cheap, execution is what matters and google has been at the forefront of many technological leaps.
Obviously companies buy each other at different stages of development and you can have discussions about who deserves credit for what. But at least in my mind to try and diminish everything google has done in the past 2 decades is ignorant.

Those are older ideas from google's prime when it was really company of innovation. I do not deny relevance of these.
What I am saying is they ran out of new and their own ideas. When there is new trend, google wants to hop in and make just something average and then it dies in 3-5 years.
It's like google is in midlife crysis..

Lol what are you talking about? Chatgpt is literally created out of foundational research coming out of google. Google has also had a functional version of bard used by employees for years. It just wasn’t released to the public until recently

>Sums up everything google does... They don't have any new ideas. Just copy others and they fail because they are always second,..
This is what you said initially which did not include 'Google used to be good in the past but NOW they suck.
You also completely ignore their work on AI past few years?
