Google: Google AI search vs Bard chatbot: How the two differ, how to access Bard in India and more – Times of India
At its annual conference in Mountain View, California, Google showed an updated core search product that embeds more artificial intelligence (AI) in its answers as the company looks to remove doubts that it is losing ground to Microsoft’s OpenAI-powered Bing search. Google said that it has now embedded its latest AI technology into 25 products, including the search updates and a feature to help users write emails in Gmail.
“Seven years into our journey as an AI-first company, we are at an exciting inflection point,” Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, said at the conference. “With generative AI, we’re taking the next step, with a bold and responsible approach, we are reimagining all of our products.”
The company has a Bard chatbot that competes with ChatGPT, the chatbot from OpenAI, but the company is not bringing it to its search. Google appears to be taking a more measured approach. The company did not include a chatbot, as they can pose the risk of making up false information, in its search engine. Instead, Google said it will use AI to provide some answers, which will be corroborated by authoritative websites, and it will also continue including ads in responses. The AI technology coming to Google search is called Search Generative Experience.
When do users Google and when to use Bard
The company said that traditional Google search should still be used for finding and seeking information, such as finding a place or looking for something to buy or a place to go. Bard is a chatbot with a persona that can hold human-like conversations. So it is intended to be used for creative collaboration, for example to write captions for a photo, welcome speech for an event or more such things.
How is AI changing the Google search
Google’s home page will still look and act the way it is now, with that familiar search bar. The difference will be in the answers. This means that if the new Google detects that generative AI can be used to answer a query, the top of the results page will show the AI-generated response. The traditional links to the Web will remain below.
For example, a search for “weather Delhi” will as usual point a user to an eight-day forecast, while a query asking what outfit to wear in a small Rajasthan city may prompt a long response generated by AI.
Users will also be able to enter the new “conversational mode,” which is similar to Bard. Also like ChatGPT, it will remember the user’s earlier questions so that they can ask follow-ups more easily.
Google remains search engine, is not becoming a chatbot
Google also points out that this conversational mode is not designed to be a chatbot with a personality. It is intended only to help improve search results. The responses will never contain the “I” phrase, unlike Bard and ChatGPT.
Where to try the new Google search
Internet users cannot yet use Google search with AI. US consumers will gain access to the Search Generative Experience in the coming weeks via a wait list. During thistrial phase, Google will monitor the quality, speed and cost of search results.
How to use Bard in India
At I/O 2023, Google announced that Bard is now available with no wait list in 180 countries and territories. Google’s conversational generative artificial intelligence chatbot Bard is being rolled out in over 180 countries, including India, the company announced. Initially, the Google Bard chatbot was only available in the UK and the US. Interested Indian users can now join the waitlist for the AI chatbot via the Google Bard official website.
