Google’s AI chatbot, known as Bard, is now available for testing to the general public in the US and UK. Bard is part of a growing trend of AI apps that can generate written content, such as essays, poems, and computing code, on demand. The technology behind Bard is continually learning and improving, thanks to user feedback, according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
However, Google has been more cautious than other tech giants such as Microsoft when launching generative AI to consumers, given the flaws and limitations inherent in chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard. While ChatGPT has already been released to the public, Bard is still in development and continuously learning and improving.
Interested individuals may sign up on the waiting list at bard.google.com to test Bard’s capabilities and provide feedback. Bard differs from ChatGPT in that it can access and process information from the real world through Google Search.
AI chatbots like Bard are considered a significant development in technology and have been compared to the introduction of the iPhone. Bard’s ability to generate written content on command has implications for content creation across industries, from journalism to marketing. While the technology is still in its early stages and limitations remain, the potential impact on society is considerable.
