Google employees have been testing several potential ChatGPT competitors as part of the tech giant’s attempt to launch a response to OpenAI technology, according to CNBC. a Previous New York Times report Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he announced “code red” and accelerated the development of artificial intelligence to be able to unveil at least 20 AI-powered products this year. right Now, CNBC He detailed several products the company is working on, including a chatbot called “Apprentice Bard” that uses Google’s LaMDA conversational technology.
Apparently, Google management told the LaMDA team to prioritize work over a competitor in ChatGPT, telling them this took precedence over any other project and even warning them not to attend unrelated meetings. Cool Starter is said to look and function like ChatGPT where the user can type a question or prompt into a text box and then get a typed response.
CNBC She says she’s seen samples proving that the bot’s answers include information from recent events — something ChatGPT can’t do, because it has only limited knowledge of anything that happened after 2021. In one example, the bot’s apprentice was able to answer if there would be another Google layoffs tour. (Not likely for this year, he said, since the company is doing so well financially.) He claimed to have gained consciousness.
Google is also said to be testing a new search page that uses a question-and-answer format. The beta homepage has five possible question prompts to replace “I’m lucky” at the bottom of the search bar. After the user types in their query, the page generates human-like responses in gray bubbles. Below these responses are suggested follow-up questions, followed by the sample search results with links and headlines. Additionally, Alphabet is working on a project called “Atlas” within its cloud unit. While CNBC He didn’t have details on what it was, it’s still said to be part of Google’s “code red” effort.
It’s not clear at this point which of Google’s projects will be released to the public. Jeff Dean, Google’s head of artificial intelligence, told employees during a plenary meeting to discuss the company’s response to ChatGPT that it was moving “more conservatively than a small startup.” Providing people with false information would have a much greater impact for a well-known company like Google, after all. Indeed, times He previously said that the tech giant prioritizes safety, accuracy, and preventing misinformation when it comes to developing its search chatbot. If reports that Microsoft is merging ChatGPT technology in Bing Once March checks out this year, it’s also likely that we’ll see a Google search chatbot in the near future.
