Google Prepares ChatGPT Alternative Called Bard AI

OpenAI's ChatGTP has reportedly reached an astonishing 100 million monthly active users in the heating wars of AI. This figure is achieved after a few months of availability, and big tech companies are pressured to respond. Today, we have information that Google will release a model similar to ChatGTP called Bard AI. Based on Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA) that Google introduced over two years ago, the Bard AI solution will integrate with Google search to access the latest information around the web. Currently in preview for private testers, Bard AI will roll out to the public in the coming weeks as the demand for Large Language Models that are in chat format soars.
Google CEO Sundar PichaiBard seeks to combine the breadth of the world's knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models. It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses. Bard can be an outlet for creativity, and a launchpad for curiosity, helping you to explain new discoveries from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old, or learn more about the best strikers in football right now, and then get drills to build your skills.

So you won't be eating crushed glass but will be recommended moving your family to a neighborhood with an extremely high homicide rate next to a toxic dump because that information is deemed unfit.

Can we address how companies are crapped on by google because it just presents their data without giving them anything for it?
Can we then address the question how an AI bot would work into giving revenue ot the rightful people?

I am going to have fun defeating all of these bots in the field of philosophy. They will quote/draw source material from shit sources, and I am going to laugh and point, nope you wrong mother fucker, that's actually not how it was interpreted! Nothing beats proper academic research, nuance, and context. Eat shit AI garbage bots.

Welcome to the big fucking leagues. ChatGPT has yet to beat me.

Done, almost done! It was a pleasure to have you work for me in my advertising agency and my software programming agency and my cinema studio. And now you're fired! I hired a bot and it can work 3X as much as all of you put together. I no longer pay expensive rent for luxury office rooms, nor for special business trips and team building, I do not pay salaries, insurance and insurance.

I don't think such AI writing tools were designed with writing school essays in mind.

Writing product reviews, posing as users, drowning real customer feedback with generated positive one, that's a worthwile endeavor!

I laugh and point at my car for the same reasons. It's great fun.

Personally I'm all for AI powered search if it means it becomes good, because searching for anything on the internet, especially with google, is nigh impossible.

But searching on Google was much better before AI - it's progressively getting worse, excluding hits that have your search terms as a headline, and offering you something inteligently researched instead...

Most boring jobs could be taken over by machines - we only do them to get paid for something.

Now, even interesting jobs can be done by machines.

Soon, our muscles won't be the only thing we don't need, but our brains as well. We'll just stop being humans altogether because it's not needed.

Google and the rest will prove that couch-sitting, mindless consumers of shit food and shit false-intellectual content and false news is what we are. Don't move, don't think, just consume!

Great plan, love it! /s

We need some open source solutions, but one issue I can see is how to train the models given all the censorship in the world, and then English dominating the internet creates another form of censorship/bias.

I search with DuckDuckGo, works great for me, ublock origin on. I always get the results I need. Or if I am searching philosophy specific stuff, I use Stanford Plato catalog

I don't see any language barriers for these models to stumble on as they most likely can cover most languages already.

Considering all the censorship and bias around the world, AI technology couldn't have arrived at a worse time.

I think we might already be at this point honestly. I watched Idiocracy recently, turns out that movie was a fucking documentary sent from the future, not a made up movie. lol

But they are for now much worse in languages with higher inflexion. In English you can almost randomly pick words and they will assemble grammatically correct sentence...

It is a masterpiece that everybody should watch. Here it is (IMDB). I don't even think it's from the future. It looks more like a depiction of the present to me, honestly.

ChatGPT for me is just a novelty item. It can provide me with some minor entertainment, but I have no real interest in using it at it currently stands. My younger brother on the other hand, he lives and breaths it some days. Constantly making up weird crap to see what it will come up with and he loves it. Then again, he also does utilize social media to a degree whereas I have zero use for it.

Based on Google's current path of how their search engine works I'm not sure Google can do anything good with their AI version.

Ah... Bards.. Those folk of ye olde times that travelled the land in search of tales to sing about.

As we all know, every time information passes from one to another, crucial details and correctness are lost.

They chose a great name.
