Picture this: it's a beautiful day in Silicon Valley, and the tech giants are at war. On one side, there's Microsoft with its OpenAI-powered ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot that has captured the attention of millions. On the other side, there's Google with Bard, its experimental conversational AI service that promises to take on ChatGPT.
As a language model-based chatbot, Bard is Google's answer to Microsoft's ChatGPT, and it represents the company's first foray into the world of conversational AI. But can it match up to ChatGPT's impressive capabilities?
To answer that question, we need to look at the numbers. According to GlobalStats, Google currently dominates the search engine market with a whopping 92.9% share worldwide. In contrast, Microsoft's Bing comes in at a distant second with just 3.03%. However, the rise of conversational AI and the potential threat it poses to Google's monopoly means that the company cannot afford to ignore ChatGPT and its capabilities.
That's where Bard comes in. Based on Google's Language Model for Dialogue Application (LaMDA), the experimental conversational AI service has been opened up to trusted testers and will be available to the public in a few weeks. With Bard, Google hopes to catch up to Microsoft and disrupt ChatGPT's gains.
Unfortunately for Google, it's coming into the game a little late. ChatGPT has already amassed a user base of over 100 million in just two months, while Google took over a year, Instagram more than two, and Facebook over four. This lack of a first-mover advantage puts Bard at a disadvantage, but Google has some tricks up its sleeve.
One area where Bard excels is in the resources available to it. Unlike ChatGPT, which can only draw from data since 2021, Bard will have access to a much wider repository, making it more accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, both chatbots will give detailed responses to questions, but Bard's access to a wider pool of resources could give it an edge over ChatGPT.
So, can Google Bard stop Microsoft-backed ChatGPT's rise in the conversational AI market? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the battle for supremacy in the artificial intelligence space is just heating up, and it promises to be an exciting ride.
