Subj : Google Bards upcoming update gives me hope for my favorite AI cha To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Thu Apr 20 2023 16:00:03 Google Bards upcoming update gives me hope for my favorite AI chatbot Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2023 14:57:11 +0000 Description: Google Bard is getting a new update to improve performance and logic, hopefully bringing it closer to competing with Microsofts Bing. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Google Bard is getting its first significant round of updates since its very shaky launch, and Im incredibly hyped to see whats in store. In the official post from Google , the outlined updates, which will arrive on April 21, have been listed as performance improvements and adding variety to Bard's responses, hopefully improving the user experience and beefing up Bards skeletal build. Most of the updates include expanding draft variety and Bards capabilities. Bard will now show you a wider range of options that will be more distinct from each other when showing drafts to help expand your creative explorations.

We will also be getting a richer Google it feature where additional suggestion topics will pop up when people click the option, and well see an improvement in Google Bards capabilities for math and logic. This is an incredibly positive addition as it could mean a step up in Bards more technical capabilities and hopefully see it get closer to the coding abilities offered by ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing. Analysis: Onward and upward I am extremely excited to see Bard get its inaugural update and see it as a step in the right direction for the AI chatbot. As chatbots go, Bard is my favorite due to its friendly demeanour, easy-to-use interface and general good vibes. I think Bard has the chance to match up to, if not surpass, Microsoft Bing if Google plays its cards right and gives it a big push. As it stands Microsoft's Bing AI has an estimated 100 million active users , and the company recently boasted about a 15.8% boost in page visits, which does suggest a potential stream of users being pulled away from Google in terms of search engine dominance. However, if Google continues to deliver a steady but strong stream of updates and feature enhancements, I do think it could clinch back any lost users. It certainly hasn't lost me yet. Just because Microsoft got to the AI hype first doesnt mean its won the race yet. I think Google has time to blow us all away, and I cant wait to see how far Bard can go. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/news/google-bards-upcoming-update-gives-me-hope-for- my-favorite-ai-chatbot --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
