Google brings ChatGPT-like AI to search engine
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has confirmed that an AI chat feature will be added to the Google search engine. The search engine can then answer user questions in natural sentences.
ChatGPT competitor in Google Search
Soon it will be possible to communicate with an artificial intelligence-based AI language bot via the Google search engine. Pichai said this in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
When asked “Can people start asking Google questions and interacting with large language models when they look up something?” Pichai answered affirmatively, “The possibilities are greater than ever before.”
Meanwhile, Microsoft’s ChatGPT language bot can already be found in the Microsoft SwiftKey Beta keyboard app, the Bing search engine, and the Edge browser. Skype, Microsoft Teams and Office programs such as Word, PowerPoint and Outlook will also follow shortly.
It is not yet known how the artificial intelligence will work in the search engine, for example with the language bot Bard.
What is Bard?
Bard is a language bot that can answer questions in natural sentences. Google makes Bard sound like a natural person using its LaMDA language model (soon to be PaLM), a system previously envisioned as technology that the Google Assistant should eventually talk to naturally. In addition to the search engine, Bard will also appear in Google products such as Chromebooks and Gmail and Docs.
Of course Bard is a strong competitor of ChatGPT. That is a revolutionary tool from the OpenAI company that already had millions of users in the first days after its launch. Bard immediately has an advantage. Google’s AI bot has recent data, while ChatGPT is currently still doing it with information dating back to September 2021.
