Surely you have noticed that the Google Assistant is being talked about less and less and the company is paying less attention to it. Is I may be doomed inevitably, and ChatGPT could be to blame for this. Its appearance and increasing relevance are making Google act to create a worthy competitor.
This Google feature isn’t making you any money, and already last year there were reports pointing to fewer developments around it for third-party devices. The current news with a Google Assistant VP of engineering leading the Bard engineering team isn’t too rosy. The truth is that it has ceased to be a priority for the company to simply be there. His team would be working on Google’s new AI system.
Google is working hard to improve its AI technology
It seems that with the competition and rise of ChatGPT, Google’s priority now is its Bard Artificial Intelligence Tool. This chatbot designed for Google searches will be launched widely this year and may even eventually replace the Google Assistant or take away a lot of prominence from it. They are working hard to make it a reality sooner rather than later.
After the new Google tool comes a controversy, and it is that there are those who assure that Google copied the technology of ChatGPT of OpenAI, which would be clear intellectual theft. A former employee who has resigned after knowing this information has assured that the accusations are true. However, Google has denied them, assuring that engineers from Google’s Brain AI group are working together with DeepMind employees on the initiative called Gemini. This happened after the failure of Google’s attempt to compete with OpenAI through Bard.
They claim that Bard is not trained in no data from ShareGPT or ChatGPT. It has announced its early access as an experimental collaboration with generative AI for its users, although for now only in the United Kingdom and the United States. The intention is that it will later reach more languages and countries.
You will be able to interact with Bard asking questions and refining your answers through follow-up questions. Thus, you will be able to explore the capabilities of the Google chatbot and improve its future development. Although for now you will not be able to test it. The company continues to work on its own AI technology and we will see progress in this regard very soon. They are concerned about the relevance that ChatGPT is having right now and how it is affecting their searches, which has led them to make a great effort and allocate a lot of resources to compete with the new service that is eating up ground.
Nothing is said about improvements to the Google Assistant, so it has gone to the background as the company is focused on other things. Who knows if they next releases will kill him or something will happen that makes it stronger, like integrating with the technology they are currently working on. We can only wait what happens to him after the appearance of Bard and with everything that is happening with ChatGPT.
