Last week, Microsoft and Google they revealed almost at the same time that they would integrate artificial intelligence tools into their products. Then began a duel of comparisons between one and the other, in which google bardthe tech giant’s conversational AI, appears to be losing out to search Microsoft Bing with ChatGPTwhich is already among the most downloaded apps on iOS.
After weeks of rumors, on February 7 Microsoft presented the version of its Bing search engine with artificial intelligence (AI), a collaboration with Open AI. Just a day earlier, preempting its rival, Google introduced Bard, its own AI-based search and text creation engine.
Google Bard has a powerful advantage over ChatGPT: it can connect directly to the internet, while OpenAI’s software only has data until 2021. However, the alliance with the conversational browser has achieved place Bing among the most downloaded apps on the App Store Apple for the United States.
Just one day after the trial launch for some users, Bing downloads increased 10 times. The search engine was positioned at number 12 among the most popular free apps.
Meanwhile, the browser Microsoft Edge, competition from Google Chromeis the third most downloaded utility app globally, as reported by TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/08/bings-previously-unpopular-app-sees-a-10x-jump-in-downloads- after-microsofts-ai-news/ .
Microsoft Bing with ChatGPT also outperforms Google Bard on Wall Street
The same day Google Bard was announced, the company lost $100 billion. The reason? His AI made a mistake when giving an answer during his first demo, an event in Paris where he was presented as the future of the company.
Alphabet shares fell as much as 9%, slashing the company’s market value by $100 billion. On the other hand, Microsoft shares rose 3%.
Apparently, the company is still following the vision of its co-founder and legendary former CEO, Bill Gates, who has just stated that artificial intelligence “will change our world”. He assures that this technology is as important a milestone as the PC and the Internet, and predicts that it will “change the job market.”
