Google AI Search vs Bard Chatbot: Exploring Differences and Accessing Bard in India
Delhi : Google demonstrated an improved core search product that embeds more artificial intelligence (AI) in its responses at its annual conference in Mountain View, California, as the firm seeks to dispel concerns that it is losing ground to Microsoft's OpenAI-powered Bing search. Google said that it has now integrated its newest AI technology into 25 products, including search improvements and a function that assists users in writing emails in Gmail.
"Seven years into our journey as an AI-first company, we are at an exciting inflection point," Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated during the conference. "With generative AI, we're taking the next step, reimagining all of our products with a bold and responsible approach."
The company has a Bard chatbot that competes with ChatGPT, an OpenAI chatbot, but it is not being integrated into their search. Google looks to be proceeding with caution. In its search engine, the corporation decided not add a chatbot since they offer the risk of making up fake information. Instead, Google stated that it will utilise AI to deliver certain answers, which will be confirmed by reputable websites, and that it will continue to include advertisements in responses. Search Generative Experience is the name given to the AI technology that is coming to Google search.
According to the business, standard Google search should still be used for discovering and seeking information, such as finding a location or looking for something to purchase or a place to go. Bard is a personable chatbot that can hold human-like conversations. As a result, it is designed to be used for creative cooperation, such as writing captions for a photo, a welcoming speech for an event, or other similar tasks.
How is AI influencing Google search?
Google's home page will remain unchanged, complete with the classic search bar. The responses will be the deciding factor. This implies that if the new Google recognises that generative AI can be used to answer a question, the AI-generated solution will appear at the top of the results page. The regular Web connections will remain below.
A search for "weather Delhi" will, as usual, lead to an eight-day prediction, but a question asking what outfit to wear in a small Rajasthan city may result in a lengthy response provided by AI.
Users may now use the new "conversational mode," which is similar to Bard. Like ChatGPT, it will remember the user's previous inquiries so that they may simply ask follow-ups.
Google will remain a search engine and will not become a chatbot
Google also emphasises that this conversational mode is not intended to function as a chatbot with a personality. Its sole purpose is to aid in the improvement of search results. Unlike Bard and ChatGPT, the answers will never contain the "I" statement.
Where to Try Google's New Search
Users on the internet cannot currently utilise Google search with AI. The Search Generative Experience will be available to US customers via a wait list in the coming weeks. Google will assess the quality, speed, and cost of search results throughout this trial period.
In India, how do you utilise Bard?
Google revealed at I/O 2023 that Bard is now accessible in 180 countries and territories with no wait list. Google's conversational generative artificial intelligence chatbot Bard is now available in over 180 countries, including India, according to the firm. Initially, the Google Bard chatbot was only available in the United Kingdom and the United States. Interested Indian users can immediately join the AI chatbot queue by visiting the Google Bard official website.
