The popularity of ChatGPT has made Google think hard about its future in the search business. The company is said to be working on a worthy product called Apprentice Bard to counter OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Key Points

  • OpenAI’s ChatGPT has received rave reviews from users. This has prompted Google to accelerate its own AI development. They have developed an upgraded version of Chatbot known as Apprentice Bard to counter the situation.
  • Google’s Apprentice Bard is a real winner compared to OpenAI’s ChatGPT as it provides answers that reference recent events, which is not possible in the current version of ChatGPT. 
  • Google has asked its staff to test this all-important AI tool so that they get a Q & A tool that is compatible with desktop searches.

Since its emergence last year, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been nothing short of a revelation. Is there anything that this ingenious chatbot cannot do? It answers queries, writes computer code, and assists in passing law and business school exams. Seeing the reception that ChatGPT has received, Google has already started to counter this competition by introducing an AI project that will excite you to the moon!

Taking a leaf out of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot, Google has started to test a ChatGPT-like homepage. It is known as Apprentice Bard, which uses Google’s LaMDA language technology. 

Here’s a tweet confirming that Google has already started taking this initiative quite seriously.

An interesting fact you might have missed about this revolutionary Google product: Apprentice Bard takes the place of Meena chatbot. 

As per CNBC, Google staff have keenly noticed that Apprentice Bard provides clever responses over time. One thing that Apprentice Bard needs to improve in comparison to OpenAI’s ChatGPT is how it provides resolution to the queries asked by the users. LaMDa was launched by taking into account dialogue information.
