At last Google announced that it opens the waiting list to use Bard, his new artificial intelligence. With it, big tech hopes to compete directly against Microsoft and its integration with the ultra popular ChatGPT.
No need to be an engineer or developer, you’ll be able to try Google’s new AI starting today. However, only if you are from the United States and the United Kingdom.
Although it is said that Bard will be available for testing in other countries over time, there is no set date at the moment. It should be noted that for now, Google’s artificial intelligence does not speak Spanish either.
What does Bard offer?
Very little is known about the schedule that Google has for Bard, such as its arrival in other countries for tests or its international launch.
However, Google is expected to look to make a good entry to compete with Microsoft, which has already integrated ChatGPT features into its Bing search engine, which could jeopardize the company’s reign in search engines.
Remember that a few weeks ago during Bard’s presentation, the artificial intelligence made several factual errors that cost the company millions. Google announced the creation of its own chatbot in February 2023 with some stumble due to the overwhelmingly positive response the OpenAI bot received.
Google Bard is built on the basis of LaMDA
Bard is based on the LaMDA system, a language model designed by Google to generate conversational robots (chatbots), whose first version was presented in 2021.
LaMDA rose to fame in June 2022, when a Google engineer named Blake Lemoine He assured that this AI would have become aware of itself and was “capable of expressing feelings and thoughts”, as collected The Verge. In response, the tech giant immediately denied the information, and shortly thereafter it emerged that the whistleblower who “spoke too much” was fired.
In September 2022 they started testing LaMDA and finally found a good use for it: creating Google Bard.
According to the specialized site GenbetaBard is expected to have a Bing Chat-like interface, but with more user interaction and post-2021 access to information, something ChatGPT-3 cannot yet do (this is no longer a problem with ChatGPT-4 ).
“We’ve learned a lot from testing Bard, and the next big step in improving it is getting feedback from more people,” its vice presidents Sissie Hsiao and Eli Collins wrote on the Google site.
“The more people use it, the better Long Language Models (LLM, for its acronym in English, a program capable of answering questions asked in everyday language: ndlr) will be at predicting answers that could be useful,” they explained.
Both Google executives acknowledge that LLMs “aren’t perfect” and could “certainly deliver inaccurate, misleading or false information.”
