Author argues Google is a better long-term investment than Apple because Google is pivoting into education with AI while Apple relies on legacy brand and dividends.

GOOGL — LONG The author argues Google is pivoting into education by developing AI as a respectable substitute for textbooks, tutors, and teachers, which he views as a more important market than Apple's product refreshes. He contrasts this with Apple, which he says is living off Steve Jobs' legacy and whose stock is propped up mainly by aggressive dividends rather than innovation. The implied catalyst is Google's AI-in-education strategy gaining traction over time.
