Google Tests ChatGPT Competitors Like 'Apprentice Bard,' a Language Model for Dialogue Applications
2/1/2023
While the public has been wondering whether Microsoft's integration of ChatGPT into Bing and other products could give it a chance against Google's search engine, Alphabet's world's most popular search engine is now looking at other competitors in the artificial intelligence space.
One of the competitors it could tap is Apprentice Bard, a chatbot with a similar function to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The model reportedly uses Google's Language Model for Dialogue Applications conversation technology model.
An internal memo that CNBC was able to see found that the company is using the LaMDA team to find a direct competitor to ChatGPT. It was also revealed how they are now prioritizing finding a response to OpenAI's tool on top of other projects.
The employees testing out the AI model were able to find how Apprentice Bard is showing advanced answers. A tester asked the Bard if Google would be having another round of layoffs after the company let go of 12,000 employees, and to this, the AI said that it was unlikely with an explanation as to why.
Question: if there will be another round of layoffs
Answer: unlikely... "Layoffs are generally conducted to reduce costs and structure, but the company is doing well financially. In fact, Google’s revenue increased by 34% in 2021, and the company’s stock price has risen by 70% since January 2022.”
After the popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT, the academic world has expressed concern over plagiarised content. The company heard this concern and is now releasing a tool that would allow users to detect whether a piece of content is AI-generated.
OpenAI has been hiring around a thousand contractors over the span of six months to help it improve its AI capabilities. Of the positions, 40% were software engineers who had the job of potentially helping the AI improve in coding, which sparked fear of basic coding becoming obsolete.
