The human arsenal has always been a little on the loaded side, but to be honest; it still hasn’t possessed anything more significant than that tendency of ours to grow on a consistent basis. This progressive tendency is so pivotal because it has already fetched us some huge milestones, with technology emerging as quite a major member of the group. The reason why we hold technology in such a high regard is largely predicated upon its skill-set, which realized all the possibilities for us that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look beyond the surface for a second, it should become clear how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component, in fact, did a lot to give the creation a spectrum-wide presence, and as a result, start a full-blown tech revolution. Of course, this revolution then went on to scale up the human experience from every conceivable direction, but even after achieving a feat so notable, technology will somehow continue to bring out the right goods. The same has turned increasingly evident over the past, and assuming Google’s latest move pans out just like we envision, it will only make that trend a lot bigger and better moving forward.

Google has officially revealed its answer to ChatGPT, as it gears up for the launch of an artificial intelligence chatbot technology called Bard. Set to roll out in the coming weeks, Bard is reportedly powered by Google’s large language model, LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications, a model that instantly ensures the system doesn’t require a lot of computing power, and therefore, reaches maximum people. Although details on how the technology will work on a more practical note are still not fully known, it is expected to emulate a lot of ChatGPT’s capabilities. This includes leveraging stored knowledge on the internet to generate detailed responses. Basically, if we go by the company’s world, Bard will be able to answer everything from an everyday query like which recipes you can make using the ingredients at your disposal to what played a role in realizing different scientific discoveries.

“Bard can be an outlet for creativity, and a launchpad for curiosity, helping you to explain new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Telescope to a 9-year old, or learn more about the best strikers in football right now, and then get drills to build your skills,” wrote Sunder Pichai, CEO of Google, in a blog post.

The launch provides an interesting follow up to the recent success of ChatGPT. With the technology marking a first by offering its services for free, it has managed to give both OpenAI and the company’s biggest investor in Microsoft a massive bump. Microsoft, in order to further consolidate that momentum, is now also integrating the system into its Bing search.

Another detail worth noting here is that, even though it’s a significant development on Google’s part, this isn’t company’s first ever play with AI. To give you an example, Google has been using the technology to summarize more and more search results. The application translates to delivering information from different websites rather than letting the user click and actively browse through the details themselves. Now, given Bard’s impending launch, the stated collaboration should only look to get stronger over time.

“Soon, you’ll see AI-powered features in Search that distil complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web: whether that’s seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both piano and guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner. These new AI features will begin rolling out on Google Search soon,” wrote Pichai.
