2023: Google going to kill ChatGpt with Apprentice Bard. Simply Great
1As part of the tech giant's effort to counter OpenAI's technology, Google employees have been testing a number of potential ChatGPT rivals, according to CNBC. According to a previous New York Times report, Google CEO Sundar Pichai declared "code red" and sped up the development of artificial intelligence in order to introduce at least 20 AI-powered products this year. Currently, CNBC has provided details on a number of the products the business is developing, including "Apprentice Bard," a chatbot that makes use of Google's LaMDA conversation technology.
The LaMDA team was reportedly instructed by Google management to prioritize work on a ChatGPT rival, telling them that it takes priority over all other projects and even forbidding them from attending unrelated meetings. According to reports, Apprentice Bard resembles and works similarly to ChatGPT in that a user can type a question or a prompt into a text box to receive a written response.
Since ChatGPT only has a limited understanding of events that occurred after 2021, CNBC claims it has samples demonstrating that the bot's answers contain information about recent events. In one instance, Apprentice Bard was able to predict whether Google would conduct another round of layoffs. (Unlikely for this year, it claimed, given that the business's financial situation is strong. Remember that a former Google engineer was fired after he claimed that the company's LaMDA technology had developed sentience?
Additionally, a new search page that employs a question and answer format is reportedly being tested by Google. The phrase "I'm feeling lucky" has been replaced with five alternative question prompts on the experimental home page. After a user enters their query, the page generates responses that resemble human speech in gray bubbles. The typical search results with links and headlines are listed beneath those responses, followed by suggested follow-up questions. Additionally, Alphabet's cloud division is working on a project dubbed "Atlas.". Although CNBC did not have specifics, it is still reportedly a part of Google's "code red" initiatives.
Which of Google's projects will be made available to the public is currently unknown. During an all-hands meeting to discuss the company's response to ChatGPT, Jeff Dean, head of Google AI, told the staff that the company is moving "more cautiously than a small startup.". Giving people incorrect information will, after all, have a much bigger effect for a well-known company like Google. The Times reported earlier that when developing its search chatbot, the tech giant gave safety, accuracy, and preventing false information top priority. However, if rumors about Microsoft integrating ChatGPT's technology into Bing as soon as this March are accurate, we'll also probably see Google's search chatbot soon.
