Almost everyone knows artificial intelligence-based chatbots, led by ChatGPT, have made a lot of noise in recent months. Google took the last big step in the heated market and launched Bard. In this article, we will discuss Google Bard.
What is Google Bard
Google Bard is a new AI chatbot that has the potential to change the way we interact with computers. Bard is powered by a large language model (LLM), which means it can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.
Bard is Google’s conversational generative artificial intelligence chatbot, based on the LaMDA family of large language models. Developed in response to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Bard was released in March 2023 to mixed reviews. The AI chatbot generates fluent conversations with users and understands and responds to natural language. Bard is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly and is constantly learning and evolving to better understand its users. With its ability to generate natural conversations, Bard has the potential to revolutionize communication.
Google went into red alert state
OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022, a chatbot based on the GPT-3 family of large language models (LLMs). Following its release, ChatGPT became a viral Internet sensation. As a result of ChatGPT’s potential threat to Google Search, Google executives issued a “code red” alert, reassigning several teams to assist the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) efforts. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who stepped down as co-CEOs of Alphabet in 2019, were summoned to emergency meetings with company executives to discuss Google’s response to ChatGPT in a rare and unprecedented move.
LaMDA, a prototype LLM, had been unveiled earlier that year but not publicly released. As employees asked whether LaMDA was a missed opportunity for Google to compete with ChatGPT at an all-hands meeting, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, along with Google AI chief Jeff Dean, stated that while Google had similar capabilities to ChatGPT, moving too quickly in that field would constitute a major reputational risk due to Google’s size relative to OpenAI. In January 2023, DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis teased plans for a ChatGPT rival, and Google employees were instructed to accelerate the development of a ChatGPT competitor, intensively testing “Apprentice Bard” and other chatbots. Pichai assured investors during Google’s quarterly earnings investor call in February that LaMDA would be expanded.
