ChatGPT is everywhere in the news, and for good reason. The conversational chatbot is very impressive, and is an example of the power of modern AI for those with and without tech experience. Now, other companies want in. Google appears to be the latest, with its offering, dubbed “Bard.”
Bard is powered by Google’s Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). This language model allows Google to create conversational AI functions and programs. Bard is the next step: It, like ChatGPT, can answer just about any question you can think of, relying on the knowledge base of the web.
Initially, Bard will be available to a select group of testers. But in the coming weeks, Google will open a light-weight version of it to the public, so anyone can test out the AI bot for themselves.
It’s a natural turn for the company. Not only has Google made strives in AI technology, it’s business model is directly threatened by outside apps like ChatGPT. Google can see how many users flocked to ChatGPT to test its knowledge base, and how excited they were to see how well it performed. Who needs Google if ChatGPT can answer your questions for you (or even write up an essay or report to boot?)
Bard will be the next big AI product on the market. If Google can capture the market’s attention, it’ll fit naturally in their business of serving up answers to the world’s questions. Whether their offering can compete with ChatGPT, however, remains to be seen.
