This is Google to Chatgpt’s response: Moutain View’s firm announced , Monday, February 6, the launch of a conversational robot competing from the now Famous software launched in December by Openai. Called Bard, he will be able, like Chatgpt, to answer questions by producing text imitating human syntax. But it will not be available in free access before “a few weeks”: by then, this “experimental service” will be tried by “trusted testers”.
To convince the importance of artificial intelligence in its strategy, Google also announces an integration of these conversational robots into its powerful search engine: inspired by Bard, “several features fueled by AI will synthesize information for The questions for which there is not only one good answer, “announces the group.
While Openai, the small company of San Francisco which launched Chatgpt, is at the heart of the media echo around the rise of artificial intelligence in recent months, Google endeavors to recall being a business Pioneer in the field: Bard is based on Lamda, a conversational robot developed two years ago, but only deployed internally, temporarily. Owner of the cutting start-up Deepmind, Google also recalls being at the origin of Transform , the technology which in 2017 launched the new wave of large language models like GPT-3, of Openai, on which Chatgpt is based.
But Google is also under pressure. And a little in a defensive posture, which is felt in haste to make announcements before the products are entirely ready to be deployed. Indeed, Openai is supported by Microsoft, who invested one then ten billion dollars. The giant, google rival in accommodation and online services in the cloud, has already started to integrate OpenAi tools like Chatgpt or Dall-E in its software from its powerful office of office (Word, Excel, Excel, Excel, Excel, Excel, Excel, Excel, Excel, Excel PowerPoint) and in Teams or Outlook messaging.
for Google, AI will transform research
They promise to help private and professional users to make summaries, faster editors, or to generate images with Dall-E. Above all, Microsoft has planned to integrate chatgpt technology into its bing search engine. This is much less used than the undisputed leader Google but many observers believe these new dialogue interfaces, more natural, capable of “angry” the conventional search engine with its list of links. Apparently Google does the same analysis. The company predicts for a long time that AI will transform research in the future. Google has notably worked to mix more texts, images and videos, and has a Dall-e, Imagen.
image generator.
Bard integration into Google will give answers to questions of the type: “Between the piano and the guitar, which is the easiest to learn, and what is the time necessary for everyone’s practice?” , writes Google Monday. Below the response text produced by the robot, the Internet user will still find the list of classic links to web pages.
Finally, Google announces this Monday that it opens access to its language models to developers and companies who wish to rely on it to create services. This is what OPENAI already does – against a remuneration of some fractions of cents per request. One more sign that Google hopes to be able to counter or contain the offensive of the OPENAI-Microsoft tandem.
