What is Google Bard? Here's everything you need to know




Following the success of ChatGPT, Google launched Google Bard, its own AI-based chatbot. Now that it's publicly available, here's what you need to know about Google Bard.



What is google bard?

“Bard” is the experimental chat and conversation service from Google supported by artificial intelligence, and it is supposed to work similarly to the GPT chat robot, but there will be an important difference, which is that Google’s service will rely on its information from the Internet.
Like all AI chatbots, including chatgpt, Google Bard can also write code, solve math problems, and help with writing work.


When was Google Bard announced?

Google Bard was unveiled in February in a statement from Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.
Although Google Bard was a completely new concept when it was announced, at its launch this AI service was powered by LaMDA (a language model for dialog applications) that Google had released two years earlier.


How does Google cool work?

Google Bard runs on PaLM2, Google's advanced large language model (LLM), which was announced at I/O 2023.
PaLM2 was launched in April 2022, and is the latest version of PaLM. It will enable Google Bard to work more efficiently, perform tasks at a much higher level, and fix technical problems in the previous version.
The initial version of Brad used a simple, modular version of LaMDA, because it required less computing power and could be scaled to include more users.
Lambda was developed on Transformer, Google's neural network architecture, which was created and released as open source in 2017. Interestingly, the language model that ChatGPT runs on was based on the same Transformer, according to Google.
Google's decision to use its own LLMs, LaMDA, and PaLM2 was a bold one, given that some of today's most popular AI chatbots, like ChatGPT, use LLMs in the GPT chain.




Who can access and use Google Bard?

The technology giant announced at the Google I/O conference that the waiting list for cold use will no longer exist, meaning that it will be available to the general public. Therefore, you can log into Google Bard and start using it right away.

The previous Google cold waitlist opened in March 2023, granting access to the list only to specific users in the USA and UK.


What is the controversy surrounding Google Bard?

Google Bard had a rocky start due to a demo that showed inaccurate information about the James Webb Space Telescope.
Google published a tweet on the Twitter platform as an announcement of the launch of the chatbot, including a demo of the Google Bard service, where a question appeared: “What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my nine-year-old?”
Bard replied: “The James Telescope was able to take the first picture of a planet outside our solar system.” People then quickly realized that the resulting response was incorrect. The actual performance of the chatbot also led to a lot of negative reactions.
Bard also failed to answer basic questions, took too long, didn't automatically list sources, and looked inferior to more established competing platforms.
The LaMDA service was also subject to criticism before the cold launch. Shortly after its release, former Google software engineer Blake Lemoine published a document showing that the LaMDA service may be “sentient.” But this controversy faded after Google denied it, and then made him leave the company.
Google's switch from LaMDA to PaLM 2 should help limit Bard's current drawbacks.
