Will Google be able to stand up to GPT from Open AI? For now, let’s analyze what qualities Bard has and what is behind this peculiar name.

What is Google Bard?

Google Bard is the answer to the natural language model created by OpenAI, GPT-4. It is an access interface to this technology that takes the form of a chatbot. Therefore, it is a platform that supports the introduction of text and that, based on the user’s commands, generates responses, text and code.

Officially, the arrival of Google Bard is set in March 2023. However, the underlying technology and on which the Google chatbot is based has been around for a long time. It is based on the family of large LaMDA language models. Yes, this is the same technology that got a Google engineer fired for claiming he had a life of his own.

What things can Google Bard do?
