What is Google Bard? The Big G's AI chatbot explained | Stuff (Stuff)

Working Bard on AI. Google's artificial chatbot is on the way to the public. But what exactly is the AI-powered chatbot?

And since Google is one of the largest and most sophisticated data gatherers, Bard’s “brain” is going to be packed with even more valuable information. Google’s announcement of its own AI chatbot is hot on the heels of Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI. The core idea is the same – to engage in conversation with the extent of solving queries and questions. Plus, as we mentioned, Google is going to give Bard access to the web. All the data that Google gathers (which is another can of worms entirely) is used in Bard’s training model. Bard will also be rolling out into Google Search soon, but the timeline on that is also a little blurry. ChatGPT is certainly the most advanced, with Replika and ChatSonic bringing up the rear in more basic formats. Bard avoids this issue by plugging straight into the web, where it can access up-to-date data instantly. Since LaMDA is a pretty extensive data model, Bard will be restricted to a smaller version. And, unlike other AI chatbots, it’s wired straight into the web so that it can access fresh, up-to-date information. It uses the brand’s LaMDA language model as a basis for its knowledge. The Big G is pretty familiar with all things AI.

Due to its popularity and highly useful functionality, ChatGPT has the potential to become more widely adopted, given the more detailed feedback from the platform, while making traditional web search engine results seem archaic.

OpenAI's popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, which fueled the recent conversation around AI, has also told a whopper or two in its time.

Microsoft, for instance, released a chatbot on Twitter in 2016 that quickly began generating racist and hateful tropes before being shut down.
