News JVTech IA: Google wants to compete with ChatGPT, but how?
Share :
ChatGPT has seduced its audience. Clearly, the OpenAI labs, which designed the artificial intelligence, have had great success, so Microsoft is taking a closer look. But all this is not to Google’s taste…
ChatGPT: a huge success, but for how long?
If you live in a cave and don’t know what chatGPT is, let me explain what it is. Simply put, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI labs. It is in the form of a text chat that you can exchange with an AI to answer all your questions, and even help you with certain tasks (corrections, specific requests for information, etc.)
At the moment, the AI is still struggling to meet some requests, especially because it is only able to display text, so no video, no image, etc.
ChatGPT is still well done despite its limitations, especially on the type of question that can be asked, but also by the servers that easily break down during peak hours.
Google wants to counter ChatGPT
It is in this context that Microsoft approached OpenAI to make them an offer. For the moment, we do not yet know the terms of the agreement between Microsoft and the creators of ChatGPT, but what is certain is that with the means of the firm, OpenAI will clearly be able to develop its software.
This is where Google comes in! It was in an official blog post that Google CEO Sundar Pishai revealed that the company is working on an artificial intelligence quite similar to ChatGPT.
The artificial intelligence will be called Bard, and Google wants to go beyond certain limits of ChatGPT. You may know this but ChatGPT got stuck in 2021, if you are looking for newer information the AI will give you wrong information or just tell you that it is not able to do it.
But then how does Google want to make its artificial intelligence work? Quite simply thanks to the Google search engine. It is currently the most widely used engine in the world and Google’s servers contain the largest database in the world. Like ChatGPT, Bard will allow you to ask questions and get answers from the four corners of Google to satisfy your thirst for knowledge.
For now, the tool is not available to the general public and only a small portion of people have access to a beta of the software. For now, only English is available on Bard, but Google will of course add all other languages in the near future.
If you remember correctly, this is not the first time that Google has tried to develop an AI of its kind. In 2020, we were treated to some echoes of the Menna project, a chatbot like ChatGPT, but unfortunately the project was abandoned.
Google wants to compete with ChatGPT, and therefore potentially with Microsoft if the takeover goes well. ChatGPT is hugely popular and clearly, given the performance of the chat, it’s well deserved.
