Google won’t stand by and let Microsoft or anybody else take a shot at its search dominance. The business revealed today that Bard, a chatbot, will be released “in the coming weeks.” The debut looks to be a response to ChatGPT, the wildly successful AI chatbot created by company OpenAI with support from Microsoft.

According to a blog post by Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Bard is already accessible to “trusted testers” and was created to hide the “breadth of the world’s knowledge” behind a conversational interface.

It makes use of a scaled-down version of the potent artificial intelligence (AI) model LaMDA, which Google initially unveiled in May 2021 and is built on ChatGPT-like technology. This, according to Google, will enable it to make the chatbot available to more users and collect feedback to help fix issues with the caliber and accuracy of the chatbot’s responses.

Both Google and OpenAI are using text generation algorithms to create their bots, which, while elegant, is prone to falsification and can mimic objectionable online speech patterns. Hopes of developing strong and successful new products on top of the technology, such the claim that chatbots may redesign web search, are challenged by the necessity to address those problems and the difficulty in updating this type of software with fresh information.

It’s noteworthy that Pichai omitted to mention intentions to include Bard into the search engine that drives Google’s revenue. Instead, he demonstrated a creative and cautious application of the underlying AI technology to improve standard search. In cases where there isn’t a single correct answer, Google will create a response from the various viewpoints.

If someone asked “Is it easier to learn the guitar or the piano?” for instance, the response might be “Some think the piano is simpler to learn since the finger and hand movements are more natural… Some claim that learning chords on the guitar is simpler. In addition, Pichai stated that Google intends to make the underlying technology accessible to developers through an API, much like OpenAI is done with ChatGPT, but he did not provide a timeframe.

For the first time in years, there has been talk that Google’s domination of the web search market may be seriously threatened by ChatGPT’s heady excitement.

Microsoft is hosting a media event tomorrow in connection with its collaboration with ChatGPT’s developer, which is thought to be tied to new features for the company’s second-place search engine, Bing. Microsoft recently made an approximate $10 billion investment in OpenAI. Soon after Google’s announcement, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman posted a picture of himself and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

Bard ChatGPT, which was covertly introduced by OpenAI in November, has become a worldwide phenomenon. Many of its users have fantasized about a revolution in business, education, and daily life because of its capacity to provide answers to complex issues that appear coherent and clear. However, other AI specialists urge caution, pointing out that the tool is intrinsically prone to making things up and does not understand the material it serves forth.

Given that some of the technology underlying ChatGPT was built by Google researchers, as Pichai alludes to in Google’s blog post, the situation may be particularly frustrating for some of the company’s AI professionals. Six years ago, the corporation was reoriented around AI, according to Pichai. Since then, we have kept up our general investments in AI. He mentioned work at DeepMind, a UK-based AI startup that Google purchased in 2014, as well as Google’s AI research group.

The foundation of ChatGPT is GPT, a transformer-style AI model first developed at Google that analyzes a string of text and predicts what will happen next. OpenAI has become well-known for publicly demonstrating how supplying transformer models with enormous quantities of data and increasing the computing power used to run them can result in systems capable of producing language or art.

By letting people comment on various responses to an additional AI model that adjusts the output, ChatGPT enhances GPT.

By its own admission, Google has decided to take things slowly when it comes to integrating LaMDA technology into its products. AI models trained on content collected from the Web are prone to repeat abusive language, exhibit racial and gender prejudices, and hallucinate false information.

The corporation fired two well-known ethical AI experts, Timnit Gebru and Margaret Mitchell, after highlighting those limitations in a 2020 draft research article that urged care with text generation technology. This irritated some executives.

Due to Google’s hesitation, other academics who were working on the technology behind LaMDA grew impatient and departed the firm to found startups using the same technology. The introduction of ChatGPT seems to have motivated the business to move more quickly toward integrating text generation capabilities into its products.
