Effectively, we knew it was coming and right here it’s, Bard – Google’s reply to ChatGPT. Google is now having its trusted testers check out Bard and can quickly roll it out extra extensively to customers in Google Search and others merchandise within the coming weeks, Google introduced. It’s not known as Apprectice Bard however moderately Bard.
I lined this when the information broke at Search Engine Land and as I identified, proper now, Google doesn’t have a solution for tips on how to attribute or hyperlink to solutions Bard generates – but. However I do suspect Google could have some reply for it. I additionally talked about that Google has been writing information panels utilizing AI and different strategies since 2018 and mentioned then it isn’t stealing. So will probably be attention-grabbing to see what Google finally ends up doing right here.
Bard is Google’s experimental conversational AI service, powered by LaMDA, the place Google can reply questions which may not have one proper reply. Google mentioned they may roll this out extra extensively within the coming weeks however for now, solely trusted testers (who’s outsourced to a third-party firm) will be capable of play with it.
Google mentioned, “Quickly, you’ll see AI-powered options in Search that distill advanced info and a number of views into easy-to-digest codecs, so you possibly can shortly perceive the large image and study extra from the net: whether or not that’s looking for out further views, like blogs from individuals who play each piano and guitar, or going deeper on a associated matter, like steps to get began as a newbie. These new AI options will start rolling out on Google Search quickly.”
Here’s a screenshot they shared of the way it may look in Google Search:
That is the way it may appear like in Google Search (with out the attribution half…).
That is the Bard direct interface, not in search:
I’m tremendous excited to see how this evolves at Google, Bing and others.
It’s not too far off from the leaks of the Bing ChatGPT interface.

Oh, weird. When the ChatGPT buzz started, I remarked that we’ll by no means get the Irish bards once more with robots doing the pondering for us. How glib is Google naming this after people who spent 7 years coaching to recite a whole lot of poems + tales? And the way bizarre for me to see it.
