BARD VS CHAT GPT
1. Context
Google has made a decisive move in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) race, announcing that it is working on a competitor to ChatGPT called 'Bard'. Google has said that its chatbot would launch "in the coming weeks" - a clear response to ChatGPT, the hugely sensational Microsoft-backed AI chatbot that has been developed by the tiny San Francisco-based startup OpenAI.
2. What is ChatGPT?
- ChatGPT is a variant of GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) which is a large-scale neural network-based language model developed by OpenAI.
- GPT models are trained in vast amounts of text data to generate human-like text.
- It can generate responses to a wide range of topics, such as answering questions, providing explanations, and engaging in conversations.
- In addition to being able to "admit its mistakes, challenge false premises, and refuse unsuitable requests," the ChatGPT can also "answer follow-up questions."
- The chatbot was also trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).
3. How will Google's Bard work?
- The service will use artificial intelligence to generate answers in a text when people type in queries, similar to what ChatGPT does.
- In a blog post, Google said Bard can help people perform tasks like planning a baby shower, comparing two Oscar-nominated movies, or explaining discoveries by NASA to a 9-year-old child.
- Bard is based on Google’s AI model called LaMDA, which the company introduced in 2021 as its generative language model for dialogue applications which can ensure that the Google Assistant would be able to converse on any topic.
4. Key differences between Bard and ChatGPT
- The services that Google's Bard and ChatGPT would offer are similar. Users will have to key in a question, a request, or give a prompt to receive a human-like response.
- Microsoft and Google plan to embed AI tools to bolster their search services Bing and Google search, which account for a big chunk of revenue.
- Both technologies can distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, but the most apparent difference is Bard's ability to include recent events in the responses.
- Though not immediately clear how the two services will differ, it is certain that Alphebet's Bard will have access to more data.
- Bard draws on information from the internet, while ChatGPT has access to data until 2021.
5. LaMDA Vs GPT
- Bard is based on LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications. The AI-generated text with such skill that a company engineer last year called it sentient, a claim the technology giant and scientists widely dismissed.
- OpenAI's GPT, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer, was first released in 2020, and the GPT 3.5 series of language models that finished training in early 2022 is the backbone of ChatGPT.
- ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.
6. Are there other Alternatives?
- In the two months after ChatGPT's launch, the number of tech companies has doubled down on generative AI technology, while a number of startups are independently working on their own projects.
- Baidu, China's answer to google, is the latest company to join the frenzy. Its AI is called Erine.
