Microsoft-backed Chat GPT and Google’s Bard take on the future of search in the battle of the bots
ChatGPT, developed by San Francisco company OpenAI, has
since its public launch in November. Microsoft is now integrating the technology behind it into its products, with its Bing search engine a key focus. The company is giving an update on its plans with AI later on Tuesday.Why are Google and Microsoft using AI in search?shows that there is an appetite for AI-enhanced search and for answers to queries that are more than just a link to a website. Microsoft clearly sees this as a competitive opportunity, as does Google judging by its rapid response.
Dan Ives, an analyst at the US financial services firm Wedbush Securities, says: “While Bing today only has roughly 9% of the search market, further integrating this unique ChatGPT tool and algorithms into the Microsoft search platform could result in major share shifts away from Google.”Bard and ChatGPT are both based on so-called large language models. Google’s is called LaMDA, an acronym for “language model for dialogue applications”.
Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai, said Bard could answer a query about how to explain new discoveries made by Nasa’s James Webb space telescope to a nine-year-old. It can also tell users about the best strikers in football “right now” while supplying training drills to emulate top players. The screenshots supplied by Google showed a more polished interface than ChatGPT’s, but it is still not accessible to the public so direct comparisons with the rival OpenAI service are difficult.
Microsoft’s ChatGPT-powered revamp of Bing has also been kept under wraps but several users claimed to have seen a. The unverified screenshots showed the “new Bing” answering questions in a conversational style and quoting sources for the answers, perhaps reflecting concerns among some ChatGPT users about the accuracy of some answers. It also reportedly uses up-to-date information taken from the internet and is based on a faster version of ChatGPT.
