Here is how Google Bard, which is the company's response to Chatgbt looks.

 In the upcoming weeks, 

Google plans to expand the availability of LaMDA-based conversational AI service, which is now in experimental mode.

Bard, Google's response to OpenAI's ChatGPT, is now being tested. Additionally, Google Search's AI-powered features have been given their first public preview.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, today announced the soft launch of Bard to a group of "trusted testers" and provided several examples to highlight what this early experimental edition looks like.­­­

What Google's AI features in Search will look like

Since everyone is interested in seeing how ChatGPT-style AI will work in Google Search, let's start there.

Take a look at the image that Google gave. It demonstrates how Google Search utilizes AI to react to lengthy searches with a lengthy answer produced by AI:

 You can see how Google could soon include AI-generated responses right into Google Search from this snapshot.

Pichai wrote;

"Soon, you'll see AI-powered Search features that condense complex information and multiple perspectives into easily digestible formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web: whether that's seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both the piano and the guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner."

Furthermore, Bard is distinct from Google search. The AI-powered capabilities that will soon be available on Google Search are highlighted in the screenshot above.

Describe Google Bard.

 According to Google, Bard is an experimental LaMDA-powered conversational AI service (Language Model for Dialogue Applications).

At the keynote address for the 2021 Google I/O, LaMDA was introduced as Google's

 

Additionally, Pichai stated: "Bard aims to unite the depth of human knowledge with the strength, humor, and imagination of our massive language models. It uses data from the internet to deliver original, excellent answers. Bard may serve as a creative release and a springboard for curiosity, enabling you to teach a 9-year-old about recent discoveries made by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope or learn more about the top football strikers of the moment before receiving workouts to hone your talents.

Bard is innovative.

 Google stressed the experimental nature of Bard and expressed enthusiasm for this "period of testing to help us continue to learn and enhance Bard's quality and speed."

Who are dependable testers?

Google informed us that they do not serve as Search Quality Raters. Instead, they are a varied mix of non-Google individuals from various racial, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds.

These testers evaluate Google's products in order to inform Google's development and better understand how actual people would utilize them. Google said that this testing is provided in collaboration with a third-party source.

 It's unclear how either of us can try out Bard before it goes mainstream.

Citations and attribution

I questioned Google on how it intended to give credit and/or citations for its responses, whether from Bard or in search results. At the time this was published, Google had no quick response.

Why do we care?

It's intriguing to observe how AI and search businesses are including solutions to questions that are human-like in nature. To now, Google's Bard appears to be following a strategy close to ChatGPT, but it is still early and I anticipate the user experience and interfaces will change quickly.
