How Does Google Killer ChatGPT Sparking the Artificial Intelligence Chatbot Race?

It's been two months since the public release of OpenAI's AI chatbot ChatGPT, and it didn't take long for people to realise what a game changer the chatbot is. In this article, we are going to explain how Google killer ChatGPT is sparking the AI chatbot race. Read this article to know more.

Whether you've asked it to write a song in the style of your favourite musician or sneaked in a homework question, ChatGPT has proven that it can deliver conveniently. The AI chatbot can also write copy for your company website, speech, or even churn out specific programme codes.

There has been a lot written about the potential threat to a wide range of jobs, and indeed to our entire educational model. Students could able to get their coursework done and university applications are written instantly through ChatGPT or its competitors.

That being said, this technology is still in its developing stage. It is text-only, limited to internet content as of 2021, and does not update. It presents its answers as facts, even though the internet is full of misinformation, some of which are more dangerous than others.

We attempted to get it to write an article for the BBC website, but the journalist who worked on it said it required a lot of prompting and revisions before it was even close to being of a quality we could publish. We didn't because it wasn't good enough in the end.

Although it produced copy quickly, our journalist found the process to be time-consuming because he had to keep returning to it and specifically asking it to explain more about one thing or focus less on another.

However, the AI chatbot, ChatGPT creators have a more lucrative goal in mind than simply taking jobs. The larger picture is the multibillion-dollar Internet search industry.

Alphabet, Google's parent company, made $104 billion (£86 billion) in revenue from search alone in 2020. It is no coincidence that Microsoft has announced a multi-billion-dollar partnership with OpenAI.

The internet is awash with allegedly leaked images of a ChatGPT-powered Bing. Imagine going to a search engine, typing in your query, and getting one definitive answer instead of pages and pages of links (and advertisements) to wade through.

My Microsoft contacts are remaining tight-lipped, but we do know that some news will be announced this week.

Google has just announced the release of its competitor, an AI chatbot called Bard. Following all of the speculations about Microsoft and ChatGPT, it is thought to have pushed the announcement forward.

Bard is based on Google's Lamda language learning model, which is said to respond in such a human-like manner that one engineer who worked on it believed it was sentient (then he was fired, and Google has denied the claim). The tech behemoth has also announced a $300 million investment in Anthropic, which is developing a competitor to ChatGPT.

Meta, which owns Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, launched its own AI chatbot Blenderbot in the United States last summer, and in China, tech behemoth Baidu has announced that an advanced version of its chatbot Ernie (also known as Wenxin Yiyan) will be available in March 2023.
