All you need to know about Google Bard .. the new ChatGPT competitor...
The Google search engine has been the first and main gateway to the Internet for nearly two decades, but in November 2022 it began facing its first potential competitor, the interactive chatbot (ChatGPT), which revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, and became the talk of the hour in the technical community.
The company (OpenAI) - supported by Microsoft - dominates through the (ChatGPT) robot on the generative artificial intelligence market, if in just two and a half months of its launch it gathered more than 100 million active users per month, to become the fastest growing web application ever, and this prompted The great success of all technology companies has led to the acceleration of providing updates and new products to keep pace with this new technical revolution that we are currently witnessing.
Google was one of the first companies to respond to the hype, as it hastened last week to announce the launch of the first beta version of Bard, the new competitor to the ChatGPT bot.
So what is Google Bard, how do you use it, and what are its features? Here's everything you need to know about this new competitor in the AI market:
Firstly; What is Google Bard? It is expected that Google will integrate its capabilities into its search engine, in order to provide a summary answer to what the user is searching for, in addition to the usual traditional search results in the Google engine, although it is not widely available for use yet.
secondly; When did Google announce Bard?
Google announced Bard on February 6 in a statement from the company's CEO, Sundar Pichai, posted on the Google Blog. If (Pichai) confirms that it will not be just a chat bot, its capabilities will be integrated into the Google engine.
Pichai touched on the variety of information that Bard can provide, from simplifying complex scientific concepts, to knowing the latest sports news or teaching the user new skills. And that Bard will not be limited to serving the average user, but Google will provide an API for developers so that they can take advantage of its features and integrate them into their applications.
Third; What is LaMDA? He responds accurately to what is said.
The initial version of Bard will use a prototype lightweight version of LaMDA, because it consumes less computing power, which helps Google serve the service to more users to get feedback and suggestions faster.
In addition to the LaMDA form, Bard will pull information from the web to provide responses. "This mechanism will provide users with new, high-quality responses," Pichai said.
Fourthly; How do you use Google Bard?
Google Bard has not yet been released to the general public, as it is currently testing it with a small group of trusted testers, and it will open to the public in the coming weeks.
In this regard, (Pichai) said: “We will collect the feedback of internal tests and the feedback of users who test Bard to develop the service and improve responses, to ensure that it is ready in front of the public while adhering to Google’s artificial intelligence responsibility standards.”
fifthly; The most important features and uses of Google Bard:
It is not yet possible for interactive chatbots to conduct full conversations like humans, but they do so by creating a wide range of digital texts that can be repurposed in almost any context, including what is trained to understand the text, including what is trained to understand the context of the dialogue, and seeks The Bard bot from Google does this by:
Gather information from user and web responses to deliver new, high-quality responses.
Use a light prototype version of LaMDA for initial testing purposes, then it will evolve in future versions, which means faster responses and more accurate answers.
Collect feedback to improve the AI system in the future.
Google also seeks to revolutionize the process of collecting information and how we use search engines by developing its own artificial intelligence technologies, so it is expected that many use cases for the Google Bard robot will appear after the official launch, and the most expected are:
Get proper answers to queries using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, as you can ask him about anything you want.
Finding information more smoothly when using the Google search engine, whether you're looking for a weather report or the latest sports scores, it can help.
Simplify complex information and explain new discoveries.
Seamlessly automate complex tasks.
Facilitate the performance of daily tasks especially for activities such as assisting with time management and scheduling.
Facilitate conversations with the user on all topics.
Google has a long history of using AI to improve search, and now it's using the latest AI technology to develop entirely new ways to interact with information, whether through language, images, audio or video.
Sixthly; Why is there so much controversy about Bard right now?
This happened because of incorrect information provided by a (Bard) robot that appeared in the promotional video published by Google during its press conference announcing it.
When the robot was asked: “What new discoveries from the James Webb Telescope can I tell my 9-year-old son about?” The answer came in the form of simplified points, as the question asks, except that it contained an error, as it was mentioned in one of the points that (James Webb) took the first picture of a planet outside our solar system.
But people quickly caught on to the mistake, tweeting about their displeasure with Bard because the first image of a planet outside our solar system was taken in 2004 by the European Observatory's (Very Large Telescope) VLT. It is known information documented on the website of the Space Research Agency (NASA).
In response, a Google spokesperson told the media: "This highlights the importance of rigorous testing, which is what we have begun to do within the Trusted Tester program." Referring to the company's program in which it allows a group of users to try its new services and express an opinion about them.
But before the announcement of the Bard robot, the (LaMDA) model was subject to a lot of criticism, after Blake Lemoine, an artificial intelligence engineer at Google, presented a document to the company urging it to consider that the (LaMDA) model has awareness, and that it must implement its requirements.
He (Blake Lemoine) told the Washington Post in June 2022; The LaMDA model developed emotional awareness and perception, as it has the ability to perceive and express thoughts and feelings equivalent to that of an eight-year-old child.
The controversy fizzled after Google denied it completely, and gave (Blake Lemoyne) paid administrative leave before firing him.
seventh; Why did Google decide to reveal Bard now?
This success also prompted Microsoft to increase its investment in OpenAI to $ 10 billion, and obtained the right to use ChatGPT in its programs. It also announced - the day after Google announced Bard - that it would integrate an updated version of ChatGPT into the Bing search engine. and Edge browser.
eighth; What other AI services does Google have?
Google has also developed a tool for generating music from text called MusicLM, but says it has no plans to release it at this point.
