In 2023 Google released a software called Google Bard to take on ChatGPT. It has been available since summer 2023 and is unique in a few particular respects, although it doesn't yet seriously threaten the market leader. On November 30, 2022, ChatGPT surprised everyone, even Google, which has long been at the forefront of artificial intelligence. Google has come a long way in artificial intelligence over the years. Examples include the introduction of the autonomous Google Car (now Waymo) in 2006, the appointment of AI pioneer Ray Kurzweil to head the company's AI division in December 2012, AlphaGo's victory over the European Go champion in July 2016, and the introduction of AutoML, an AI that can create other AIs, in 2017. Despite these successes, Google had long sought for a position in the AI space, which was quickly taken by OpenAI's ChatGPT.
For many years, Google has been working on establishing its own large language model (LLM) technology. The AI of a chatbot is driven by an LLM algorithm. Google's LLM is known as LaMDA, whereas ChatGPT's is called GPT. LaMDA has trained on hundreds of billions of documents, much like GPT. LaMDA was disclosed in 2021, but it remained confidential. Google accelerated its work once ChatGPT was released, and in February 2023, Google Bard was announced. It was then launched in March 2023 in the US and the UK. In July, 2023, it was made available in other countries. The official explanation for the delay was that Google wanted to introduce Bard "gradually" and "in consultation with local regulators," to make sure it complied with user expectations and privacy laws.
In actuality, Bard works much like ChatGPT: people ask questions, and it responds with the most insightful responses. Nonetheless, it differs from its primary rival in a few ways. Similar to how text-to-image apps like DALL-E 2 or Midjourney provide different images for a given query, Bard not only displays the requested answer but also provides other recommendations or formulations of the response. In contrast to ChatGPT, which uses data from up to 2021 in its knowledge base, Bard can surf the internet and generate responses using the most recent information available. Although ChatGPT provides a comparable function via plugins, it necessitates a premium membership. Voice interactions are possible with Bard, and users can hear its responses. This feature in ChatGPT requires a suitable browser extension.
A feature that is useful for copying Bard's answers directly into documents, is the ability to adapt responses in five different styles: "simple, long, short, professional, and informal." Another feature that is promised to ChatGPT-4 users in March 2023 but has not yet been released is the ability to analyze uploaded images. Google has plans to launch comparable extensions, such as Google Maps, Google Hotels, Google Flights, and YouTube, while ChatGPT-4's premium edition provides a plethora of plugins to enhance its functionalities. While ChatGPT's commercial version currently has a major functionality advantage, Google's Bard is a strong rival, particularly when contrasted to ChatGPT's free version (version 3.5).
Beginning of 2024 Google rebranded its AI chatbot Bard as Gemini. The change to Gemini was more than just a style choice; it also represented a significant advancement in the chatbot's functionality and interaction with Google's wider ecosystem. Improved voice interaction capabilities, real-time internet access for current information, and more advanced natural language processing were among the new features that Gemini brought about with this makeover. The rebranding also attempted to highlight Google's dedication to pushing the boundaries of AI innovation by consolidating its AI technologies under a single, more unified name. With this tactical change, Google made it clear that it was determined to maintain its lead in the AI chatbot market by listening to customer input and implementing exciting innovations to deliver a more robust and intuitive experience.
