Google to launch ChatGPT rival
Updated 8 months ago
When ChatGPT made its viral debut just over two months ago, one of the many questions it raised was how Google would be impacted. The search giant hopes to provide some answers with the introduction of its own AI chatbot, Bard, in "the coming weeks." In a statement published Monday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said Bard has been rolled out to external quality testers, and that the public will soon see AI-powered features in Google Search. According to Pichai, "people are turning to Google for deeper insights," and Bard will be able to weigh in on "questions where there’s no one right answer."
- Pichai later told employees that the company will "be enlisting every Googler to help shape Bard" through a user testing event "in the spirit of an internal hackathon," CNBC reports, citing an internal memo.

In the past few weeks, a lot of people have asked me about "What is Google's answer to ChatGPT? Why does Google not have a similar app? What is happened to LaMDA model?" All this while, this was being worked on internally, but I couldn't really talk about it. BUT NOW, finally the word it out!!! Check out this article about "Bard" a conversational Generative AI model, powered by LaMDA! https://lnkd.in/gS3tuxkT #google #ai #bard #chatgpt
Yesterday, Google announced its own version of ChatGPT, Bard, opening it to public testing. Where do I sign up? 👀 While ChatGPT was created out of the OpenAI platform, Bard is generated from Google's language model, LaMDA. Soon, these AI features will also show up in Google search. ⭐️ “Soon, you’ll see AI-powered features in Search that distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web: whether that’s seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both piano and guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner,” wrote CEO Sundar Pichai. The key here will be in the details. In what way is Bard differentiated from ChatGPT? Things that would be interesting to me would be more timely training data as ChatGPT stopped its training in 2021. Looking into this further, yes, Bard will be trained on timely information from the internet. Also, is Bard more reliable in accuracy? That would be extremely valuable. Google, ready and waiting to be a "trusted tester." 😬 In response, Microsoft announced a press event for today at 1P ET in which it's expected to discuss ChatGPT and how Microsoft will use it in its products. Perhaps Microsoft will also discuss ways in which AI will be leveraged in its search engine Bing? https://lnkd.in/dNddbEvK UPDATE: Today (2/7), Microsoft did announce the company is integrating OpenAI’s next generation large language model of ChatGPT into its search engine Bing. A small number of people were granted access today. Again, Microsoft, how do I get in on that?! This note about the search engine from The New York Times stuck out to me: "Microsoft’s new search engine annotates what the chatbot says, so people can readily review its sources." This is ⭐️🔥🏆 as it is frustrating not knowing where the AI is pulling its information from. (https://lnkd.in/eMgX-YCG) The AI wars continue. Remember, it's not just the one who wins the battle, it's the one who can win the war. #ai #google #chatgpt
The most interesting thing in tech: Google is soon to release a rival to ChatGPT, called BARD. Will it be good? You have to think so. As Google points out in the announcement, the current revolution is powered in part by the "transformer" framework, which is a super efficient way of doing AI. It was discovered in 2017 by Google researchers and is core to GPT --- which stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Here's a brief summary of how it works.
🚨 BREAKING: Google just announced its ChatGPT competitor. It’s called Bard, based on Google’s language model LaMDA. Bard will “draw on the power of the Internet”. Google also announced that AI will be coming to its search engine soon, which is what Microsoft has been working on with Bing. More details on Wednesday, Feb 8th. Wider availability “in the coming weeks”. The race is on! PS. Get today's top AI stories in a quick 3-minute digest.

Excited to share that Google will soon be launching Bard: an experimental conversational AI service powered by our latest version of LaMDA, a large language model which draws from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses. Today we’re opening Bard up to trusted external testers to help fine tune it further. And next week, we’ll be enlisting every Googler to help shape Bard and contribute through a special company-wide version. We’re looking forward to receiving the feedback, with more details coming soon. In addition to Bard, we're also previewing new ways we’re bringing our latest AI advancements into our products. In Search, we’ll roll out AI-powered features that distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats and will be sharing progress at an event in Paris later this week -- you can watch the livestream on YouTube this Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. CET. here: https://lnkd.in/gyT_GFHd. Beyond our own products, we also want to be the best partner for others innovating with #AI. Next month, we’ll start work with individual developers, creators and enterprises to try our Generative Language API, with a range of models to follow. Over time, our goal is to create a suite of tools and APIs that will make it easy for others to build more innovative applications with AI. This progress represents a huge amount of work from teams that have been training and testing these models over the last several years; a bold but responsible approach. It's early days and we have a lot of hard and exciting work ahead to build these technologies into our products and continue bringing the best of #Google AI to improve people’s lives.
Google takes on ChatGPT with Bard and shows off AI in search

I am excited and honored to share Sundar's announcement of Bard -- the first external product for LaMDA! I cannot wait for you all to see what the team has been working on for the last 2 years. This launch is doubly humbling, because I personally named the project Bard -- without expecting it to be the external name for our LaMDA launch. I hope it can truly be a Bard for everyone, creating beautiful language and inspiring creativity through collaborative AI. Congratulations to the LaMDA team (Ed H. Chi, Quoc V. Le, Heng-Tze Cheng, Zachary Ontiveros, and others), as well as our collaborators across Google Brain and Google Research!
An important next step on our AI journey

New: Moments after announcing its new ChatGPT rival Bard, Google CEO Sundar Pichai told employees that it will need all hands on deck to test and shape the forthcoming product. In an internal memo viewed by CNBC, Pichai said “Next week, we’ll be enlisting every Googler to help shape Bard and contribute through a special company-wide dogfood" and "in the spirit of an internal hackathon." The internal urgency is heating up as Google faces pressure from investors and employees to compete with ChatGPT, a chatbot from Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which took the public by storm when it launched late last year. It also faces financial pressure to deliver in-general after reporting its fourth consecutive quarterly earnings miss.
Google can I test Bard? Microsoft has GTP-4 being integrated with search Google is experimenting with Bard. Search is still KING. Convenience is front and center with the use of AI. Interested in the implications this will have for PPC. Keeping my ear close to the ground. Thanks, Search Engine Journal & Barry Schwartz for keeping us in the loop. https://lnkd.in/gXUEeZRS
Google launches Bard, its answer to ChatGPT – here's what it looks like
searchengineland.com
"Shall we play a game?" That feels "WarGames" apropos as Google releases its own experimental chatbot called Bard as it races to battle ChatGPT, which has taken the AI world by storm. Conversation technology is on the lips of everyone in tech right now, and Google is in the awkward spot of playing the challenger. But this whole AI race could veer into SkyNet territory if we're not careful. Since ChatGPT emerged, some analysts have gone so far (much of it hyperbole) to paint a picture of doom and gloom for Google. Microsoft has certainly jumped into the chatbot arena throwing its weight and money around. For big tech behemoth Google, those are fighting words. Bard, a name only a Google engineer could come up with, is apparently the answer. If you believe all the hype, and there's no reason not to, everyday average Joe's and Jo's are using ChatGPT for everything from writing reports and memos (what happened to writing lessons?) to developing and decompiling code. And while Bard or ChatGPT may help many of us get out of planning a baby shower, we should probably take a New York minute and consider the implications and consequences. ChatGPT, Bard, WALL-E, whatever we want to call these and future conversation chatbots (you can bet more are on the way) are only as effective as the people and data behind them. Think about that. Like your CRM, the information is only as good as the data in it. In other words, put junk data in, and it essentially becomes garbage in, garbage. These AI tools and our growing reliance on them pose the same risk. Because these tools are trained on data online, they have the potential to perpetuate biases and spread misinformation. We've already seen that in our social media feeds and online searches. So, yes, Bard coming to the ChatGPT party is a good thing in terms of competition. But, before we let ourselves become over-reliant on SkyNet, I mean, chatbots, we should take a step back and consider how to do this responsibly https://lnkd.in/gKJaJw-D #artificialintelligence #chatbots #chatgpt #bard #google #conversationintelligence

~$400,000,000 raised from Google into ChatGPT rival, Anthropic. ▶️ Anthropic will use Google’s cloud computing services ▶️ Sources claim the deal was almost $400M ▶️ Anthropic AI was made by former OpenAI leadership ▶️ Microsoft put $10B into OpenAI The "nearly" $400m investment is quite shy of ChatGPT's $10 BILLION, I wonder where Apple and other tech giants will splash some AI cash, and how much? Do you remember the AI voice assistant that Google debuted back in 2018? I wonder when we'll get that... It called and booked a hair appointment for a client flawlessly. #artificialintelligence #AI #Google
The War of AI has really truly begun now. No one could have predicted that 2023 would be the year that Google Search will fight to keep it's crown against Bing, but that's exactly what could play out in the next few months. Microsoft has annouced that Bing could be powered with ChatGPT and it's planning on an official showcase tomorrow, Feb 7th. In quick response to that, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai broke the news about Bard, which is their very own coversational AI powered by LaMDA. Google will also be having an event on Feb 8th to delve more into this. What has made Google react like this? Well for one, ChatGPT now boasts over 100 millions users since it's launch making it one of the fastest growing service. And, Microsoft has recently invested over 10 billion into OpenAI which solidifies it's aim of integrating LLMs into it's own services. In any case, I believe this competition is a good thing. Google Search has finally met an adversary that would hopefully result in technological improvement across the industry. I'll be going into more details on what exactly is BARD and what this can mean for AI & search in my next video. Subscribe to find out more: https://lnkd.in/g-3STGJp #ai #google #microsoft
Bard is a new Google AI creation that creates a direct rival to ChatBot GPT. These two systems will go head-to-head to fight for market share.
