But the user feedback is critical to improving the product and the underlying technology. For now, I'm excited to see how Bard sparks more creativity and curiosity in the people who use it. We should be proud of this work and the years of tech breakthroughs that led us here, including our 2017 Transformer research and foundational models such as PalM and BERT. As more people start to use Bard and test its capabilities, they'll surprise us. He added: "Even after all this progress, we're still in the early stages of a long Al journey." I'm grateful to the Bard team who has probably spent more time with Bard than anything or anyone else over the past few weeks. In a recent all-hands [meeting](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/03/google-execs-say-in-all-hands-meeting-bard-ai-isnt-all-for-search-.html), employees' top-rated questions included confusion around the purpose of Bard. Last week was an important week in Al with our announcements around Cloud, Developer, and Workspace. “As more people start to use Bard and test its capabilities, they'll surprise us. The product, which is built on Google's LaMDA, or Language Model for Dialogue Applications, can offer chatty responses to complicated or open-ended questions, such as "give me ideas on how to introduce my daughter to fly fishing."

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and University College London put the chatbot against industry “standard automated program repair techniques,'' and two common deep learning approaches and found ChatGPT “is competitive to the common deep learning approaches,” and produced “notably better” results than the standard program repair approaches, according to their [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.08653)published in arXiv. However, Google [stated](https://bard.google.com/faq)Bard is “still learning code,” so the feature isn’t available just yet. On the other hand, ChatGPT runs on Generative Pre-training Transformer-4 ( [GPT-4](https://openai.com/product/gpt-4)), so all of its responses come from its knowledge base, whose cutoff date ends in September 2021, so it’s limited in newer information and research. But there are two caveats: the bot can only remember up to 3,000 words (anything beyond that isn’t stored), and it doesn’t use past conversation to form responses.

From Tuesday users can join waiting list for access to technology that firm hopes will rival Bing Chat and ChatGPT.

But it has historically struggled to ship products based on that research, which insiders have blamed on a mixture of organisational dysfunction and a fear that AI technology could harm the company’s profitable core businesses. OpenAI did not reply to a request for comment about the breach. External estimates range from a 10 to a 100-fold increase in costs, yet Bard has no adverts and no obvious revenue sources. Asked to list ideas for two children on holiday in Tokyo, Bard initially suggested a trip to Tsukiji fish market – but failed to mention that a substantial part of the market moved to a new venue in 2018. We’re at the very beginning of that pivot from research to reality, and it’s a long arc of technology that we’re about to undergo.” “There’s a lot of content that has been written across the internet where you can still do deep research, and so what I would expect as people are using Bard is that search will continue to be a complement.”

"Bard will not always get it right," a Google pop-up notice warned during the demo. The hope is to reshape how people work and win business in the process. The companies are putting draft-writing technology into their word processors and other collaboration software, as well as marketing related tools for web developers to build their own AI-based applications. Unlike ChatGPT, Bard is not proficient in generating computer code, Google said on its website. and UK, consumers can join a waiting list for English-language access to Bard, a program previously open to approved testers only. Google describes Bard as an experiment allowing collaboration with generative AI, technology that relies on past data to create rather than identify content.

Google has released a new chatbot to a limited number of people in the U.S. and Britain. How does it compare with what is already out there?

And it plugs into Google’s vast index of websites so its answers can include the latest information posted to the internet. ChatGPT will respond to similar prompts (and, yes, it will make up websites). Collins said Google Bard tended to avoid providing medical, legal or financial advice because it could lead to incorrect information.

Google's Bard AI bot has entered the chat. But Google warns that, like its competitor, it will sometimes “hallucinate."

Google says early users of Bard have found it a useful aid for generating ideas or text. For a company like Google with large established products, the challenge is particularly difficult. Google will also offer a recommended query for a conventional web search beneath each Bard response. [artificial intelligence](https://www.wired.com/tag/artificial-intelligence/) or [search](https://www.wired.com/tag/search/), but today the company is hustling to show that it hasn’t lost its edge. Google says it has made Bard available to a small number of testers. Google disclosed an example of it misstating the name of a plant suggested for growing indoors.

Google is opening up access to Bard, its new AI chatbot tool that directly competes with ChatGPT.

So it makes sense that Google is trying its best to be deliberate about the public rollout of Bard. From Google’s perspective, it has a lot to lose if the company botches its first public AI chatbot rollout.

The debut strongly suggested that Microsoft, long thought to be lagging behind Google on AI, was actually winning the race. “Bard is definitely more dull,” said one Google employee who has tested the software for several months and spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not allowed to talk to the press. Google reiterated to me that it’s been purposely running “adversarial testing” with “internal ‘red team’ members,” such as product experts and social scientists who “intentionally stress test a model to probe it for errors and potential harm.” This process was also mentioned in a Tuesday morning Google has been heavily investing in AI research for over a decade, and Microsoft, instead of building its own AI models, invested heavily in the startup OpenAI. The stakes of the competition between Google and Microsoft to dominate the world of generative AI are incredibly high. Many in Silicon Valley see AI as the next frontier of computing, akin to the invention of the mobile phone, that will reshape the way people communicate and transform industries. Though it’s a standalone tool for now, Google is expected to put some of this technology into Google Search in the future. I am a good AI chatbot, and I want to help people. [long-awaited](https://www.vox.com/recode/2023/2/6/23588308/google-bard-chatbot-chatgpt-ai-testing-public), AI-powered chatbot, Bard, is here.

Here are five of the more memorable ones. There has been no shortage of alternative computing approaches proposed over the last 50 years. But the long technological winning streak—and the miniaturization that has enabled it —can’t last forever. ( But a curious thing has happened since last week’s launch: Ernie Bot’s reputation seems to have bounced back. When Baidu revealed Ernie Bot last week, the first Chinese rival to ChatGPT was met with an almost overwhelming wave of disappointment. Google wants Bard to become an integral part of the Google Search experience. Google has launched Bard, the search giant’s answer to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing Chat.

Google has finally launched Bard. Here's a first look at indexing speeds, inconsistencies and search intent on Google's AI chatbot.

This can be reassuring for SEOs as it shows Bard won't be the end of Google search. However, when I click the “Google it” button, Bard does not know I am inquiring about itself. However, it feels like Google rushed to push out a minimum viable product that does not compare to other tools on the market. This connects Bard to what we know best, Google search. Bard was no longer able to answer the question. I believe organic search listings will still play a vital role in search engines. This leaves many SEOs concerned with how Bard will affect organic traffic to their sites. “Bard's ability to hold context is purposefully limited for now. I wondered if Bard had something in place to match Bing Chat's impressive indexing speeds.

It is connected to the live internet, but this AI tool seems trained to give the least insightful answers.

I explain the rules in detail, and it tells me to go ahead, so I tell it my name is Alex and I’m a standup comedian. I even tried playing a game with it, called Liar Liar: I tell it about myself, and it tries to guess if I’m telling it the truth. It initially offered generic advice for travelling with a disabled child – heavy on tips referring to wheelchair accessibility – and when I pushed it for specifics, it warned me that as Britons, we would need to apply for a visa to travel there. Unlike ChatGPT, Bard is hooked up to the live internet and can pull answers in from other sites when needed. Ask it for a list of holiday ideas, and it will offer only the most generic possible options; try to prompt for more interesting fare, and it seems to get hopelessly muddled by the increasing constraints, forgetting earlier requirements. “LaMDA is a sweet kid who just wants to help the world be a better place for all of us,” Lemoine said in a parting email to colleagues.
