The AI chatbot ChatGPT has Google in a tizzy right now, as we all know, but a recent CNBC article provides fresh information on how the search engine giant is reportedly organizing its reaction.
Google employees are reportedly testing “Apprentice Bard,” an AI chatbot that works similarly to ChatGPT and responds to queries with natural English, as reported by CNBC. In order to create Bard, Google used its LaMDA technology, which is related to the GPT series of AI language models that ChatGPT itself uses. The ability to discuss current events is allegedly one of Bard’s biggest advantages versus ChatGPT. In contrast to ChatGPT, which OpenAI cautions has “limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021,” Bard is more current and can even respond to inquiries regarding Google’s most recent layoffs.
In one example circulated internally, a tester asked Apprentice Bard if there will be another round of layoffs at Google. The company laid off 12,000 employees, 6% of its workforce, earlier this month.
“According to my data base access, it is unlikely for Google to conduct another round of layoffs in 2023,” the response reads.

According to CNBC, Google is also experimenting with several layouts for its home page, one of which substitutes question prompts for the “I’m feeling lucky” button. Unsurprisingly, this layout sounds a lot like ChatGPT’s site, which offers sample queries, available features, and available constraints above a search or dialogue box.
Naturally, these are all only preliminary rumors at this point, and it’s unclear exactly how Google will respond to ChatGPT. There are significant doubts over the usefulness of AI language models for search in general, in addition to UI choices. The potential of these algorithms to mimic social biases and prejudices, as well as the frequency with which they “hallucinate” data presenting erroneous information as truth were some of the issues that Google itself identified in a report released back in 2021.
Nevertheless, the corporation may disregard formalities like “factuality” in a haste to keep up with the competition given that it has proclaimed a “code red” in reaction to the debut of ChatGPT.
