The battle for artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots is heating up and new options could leave users confused.
Beyond ChatGPT: What Chatbots Mean for the Future
Google recently announced the launch of Bard, a conversational AI chatbot that will compete with OpenAI’s increasingly popular ChatGPT service. The Google chat tool is designed for online searches, but gave the wrong answer to a question shown in a video demonstration. Experts say the proliferation of chatbots has its benefits and its problems.
“It’s important to remember that ChatGPT is trained to be creative and to generate human-like text,” Kyle McIntyre, chief AI engineer at Quiq, a conversational AI company, told Lifewire in an email interview. “It’s not necessarily trained to be good, as leading machine learning researcher Andrew Ng amusingly noted.”
Google’s new Bard chatbot technology offers users a fresh way to search the web. The bot allows for more conversational searches than currently possible with Google Search.
