Response from Google to ChatGPT

Google has issued a code red. The dominant search engine has reached its breaking point as OpenAI, riding the success of ChatGPT, seizes control of the AI revolution. Google has a reputation for not taking mistakes lightly. In order to launch a product that is a suitable alternative to ChatGPT, the company is reportedly testing a number of AI-powered projects, according to CNBC.

When OpenAI debuted ChatGPT, Google's deliberate approach to AI backfired. The world was captivated by the chatbot because it could create original content and have conversations that sounded human. Many people think ChatGPT will be the solution to Google's hegemony in the search market. Google appears to be in a state of panic, forcing the company to develop its own solutions.

The New York Times reported earlier this month that Google CEO Sundar Pichai issued a "code red" and sped up the creation of AI products. This year, the company intends to introduce at least 20 AI products.

More details about some of these products, such as "Apprentice Bard," a ChatGPT-like chatbot built on Google's LaMDA large language model, have now been released by CNBC.

According to CNBC, Google management instructed the LaMDA team to put the creation of a response to ChatGPT ahead of everything else. According to reports, Apprentice Bard acts and looks like ChatGPT. In a dialogue box, a user can type a prompt and get the appropriate response. After that, they can comment on the bot's response.

Apprentice Bard, an improvement over ChatGPT, can respond to inquiries about recent events, according to samples of his responses that CNBC has seen. The chatbot created by OpenAI knows very little about events that took place after 2021. Apprentice Bard responded "it is unlikely" when a worker questioned whether Google would carry out another round of layoffs or not.

According to reports, Google is also developing a search page with a question-and-answer layout. Under the main search bar, the new format offers five alternative prompts in place of "I'm feeling lucky." The page generates human-like responses in grey bubbles in response to a user's question. The page will then display follow-up questions to the initial query below that, followed by the usual search results.

According to CNBC, Alphabet's cloud division is working on a project dubbed "Atlas." This is allegedly a part of the business's "code red" initiatives. There are currently no additional details available about this project. The company is also developing an image-generation tool and an improved version of the AI Test Kitchen, among other things, according to a previous New York Times report.
