Google unveils Bard, its ChatGPT rival

<p>ChatGPT, the automated text generation system from OpenAI, has <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/chatgpt-100-million-users-january-130619073.html">taken the world by storm[/url] in the two months since its public beta release but that time alone in the spotlight is quickly coming to an end. Google announced on Monday that its long-rumored chatbot AI project is in fact real and very much on the way. It's called Bard and we expect to hear a lot more about it during Wednesday's &quot;Google Presents&quot; event from Paris.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div id="f510295d82254db8b99cb9b937341755"><iframe src="//dk79lclgtez2i.cloudfront.net/foxl7Zf?card=1" style="top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;border:0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Bard will serve as an &quot;experimental conversational AI service,&quot; per <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-google-ai-search-updates/">a blog post by Google CEO Sundar Pichai Monday[/url]. It's built atop Google's existing Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA) platform, which the company has been developing for the past two years.&nbsp;</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>&quot;Bard seeks to combine the breadth of the world’s knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models,&quot; Pichai declared. &quot;It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses.&quot; Whether that reliance on the internet results in bigoted or racist behavior, <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/chatgpt-is-suddenly-everywhere-are-we-ready-180031821.html">as seemingly every chatbot before it has exhibited[/url], remain to be seen.</p><p>The program will not simply be opened to the internet as ChatGPT was. Google is starting with the release of a lightweight version of LaMDA, which requires far lower system requirements than its full-specced brethren, for a select group of trusted users before scaling up from there. &quot;We’ll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard’s responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information,&quot; Pichai said. &quot;We’re excited for this phase of testing to help us continue to learn and improve Bard’s quality and speed.&quot;&nbsp;</p><p>Chatting with internet users is only the next step in Google's larger AI mechanizations. Pichai notes that as user search requests become more complex and nuanced, &quot;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,&quot; Pichai said. He added that such features would be rolling out to users &quot;soon.&quot; Select developers will be invited to explore the commercial API running atop LaMDA, dubbed Generative Language API, next month.</p><p>Pichai didn't share many specifics on what Bard will actually be capable of, beyond the flowery &quot;[it's] a launchpad for curiosity, helping you to explain new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old,&quot; prose he offered. Expect more details to come to light during the company's &quot;Google Presents&quot; event live from Paris, this Wednesday, February 8th.</p>
