“Google AI Chatbot Bard Sends Shares Tumbling After Providing Incorrect Response”:
The titles of Google products often follow a formulaic pattern. Google Search, Google Alerts, Google Books, and Google Meet are all available. You see what I mean. Therefore, the Shakespearean name “Bard” of its ChatGPT opponent is quite a departure. You start to wonder whether “Bard” will ever completely replace “Google.” Bard News, Bard Assistant, Bard Ad Manager, and BardMail come to mind. In a few years, will we still just be “Barding”?
Microsoft Released It’s New AI Powered Bing Recently:
The race to outdo one another and release an artificial intelligence-powered product is intensifying as IT businesses of all sizes compete. But while the embryonic technology continues to make blunders, Google’s soon-to-be A.I. powered chatbot has already reduced the company’s market worth by $100 billion.
With its ChatGPT chatbot, which was released in November and employs artificial intelligence to produce prose that is human-like, OpenAI has an advantage in the conflict. Rivals have been forced to abandon the sluggish and cautious approach that has dominated A.I. research for years because to ChatGPT’s broad variety of applications, history-breaking pace of consumer app growth, & potential to disrupt internet searches.
A.I. solutions from Microsoft, Google, and Baidu, the largest search engine in China, are all progressing quickly. Among the established businesses, Google is perhaps the most advanced, having debuted its own A.I.-powered chatbot on Monday for testers. LaMDA, Google’s proprietary A.I.-driven language learning model, which is comparable to ChatGPT’s technology, powers Bard, the company’s chatbot.
The internet search giant often launches new products rather slowly. However, ChatGPT’s creation placed Google’s $150 billion search company into the path of an approaching AI train, endangering it. Sundar Pichai had to move quickly or risk falling behind, which is why he decided to reveal the existence of Google’s brand-new LadMDA-based search query tool. Robert Burgess has seen that other businesses are adopting the strategy. The next “Ernie Bot” was just unveiled by the Chinese corporation Baidu.
BARD Will Be Available To Public Within Few Weeks:
Pichai said that Bard will be made available to the general public within a few weeks, so it could be wise for Google to spend additional time honing it before then. An advertisement for Bard was included in Pichai’s blog post to showcase its powers. In it, people asked Bard for assistance with routine tasks like finding recipes and organizing baby showers, as well as more complex queries like how to explain the discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old.
What Exactly Took Place In The Demo?
The question “What new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my 9 year old about?” is posed to Bard in the demo, which Google released on Twitter. JWST took the first images of a planet outside of our solar system, according to one of Bard’s bullet points in his response.

But long before James Webb’s 2021 debut, the Very Large Telescope, a ground-based array in Chile, reportedly acquired the first picture of an exoplanet in 2004 and identified it as such in 2005. However, James Webb is used to find and catalogue exoplanets.
On Wednesday, Google’s Shares Slid Nearly 8%:
Due of this, Google’s stock price suffered. In midday trading on Wednesday, Google shares dropped by about 8% to roughly $99 per share, from $108 at Tuesday’s market close. Its market worth was $1.27 trillion on Wednesday, down from $1.35 trillion the previous week. Just before Google held a presentation in Paris to showcase more of Bard’s capabilities, the issue was found.
Bard’s error emphasizes Google’s difficulty in incorporating the same AI technology that powers Microsoft-backed ChatGPT into its main search engine. Google now runs the danger of undermining the reputation of its search engine for exposing trustworthy content in an effort to stay up with what some believe might be a fundamental shift in how people seek online brought on by conversational AI.
A Google representative told that Bard’s error highlights “the importance of a rigorous testing method, something we’re kicking off this week with our Respected Tester program.” The company is incorporating feedback and make sure Bard’s responses meet “a high bar for quality, safety, & groundedness in real-world information” before it is made available to the general public, the spokesperson added.
Microsoft’s New Bing Can Produce Essay, Song And Answers To Query:
In an apparent attempt to compete with ChatGPT, that has been used to produce essays, song lyrics, and answers to queries that one would have previously looked for on Google, Google introduced Bard earlier this week. According to reports, Google’s management has declared a “code red” issue for their search product because to ChatGPT’s sharp increase in popularity.
Bard is not the only chatbot that is mistaken, to be sure. When queried about specialized subjects, ChatGPT has sometimes given in to gender and racial prejudices while also giving false or unclear answers.
