OUR Google seems to have been taken over by the new frenzy of high-tech companies that has spread from Silicon Valley Chinese technology giants and concerns the integration of artificial intelligence into Internet browsing mechanisms.
So the company with the most popular navigation engine hastened to introduce it Bardher own version of it ChatGPT a $10 billion Microsoft-backed startup, OpenAI, that received rave reviews from users two months before its official launch.
But in trying to compete quickly, Google made a mistake, and Reuters noticed. The mistake automatically cost the company $100 billion, sending Wall Street parent company Alphabet’s shares down 9%, sending many other industry stocks down. And most importantly, it is lagging behind Microsoft in the race for AI dominance.
Following in the footsteps of the ChatGPT app that creates conversations, academic articles, lyrics, and songs by answering questions, Bard does the same. But unlike ChatGPT, whose official launch by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wowed audiences and investors, Bard failed in its first commercial release and disappointed audiences and investors.
The advertisement asks Bard to list the discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope that can be told to a nine-year-old child. He gave a number of answers, one of which implied that a particular telescope had taken pictures of a planet outside our solar system. In fact, they were taken by another telescope, the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), in 2004.
A day later, the official presentation of ChatGPT from Microsoft took place, which turned out to be extremely successful, as it impressed with its accurate answers, and the shares of the software giant rose by 3%.
The unsuccessful response of Bard, who followed in the footsteps of ChatGPT, disappointed the public and investors.
Technology industry analysts are now seeing the new momentum that Microsoft is creating by incorporating artificial intelligence into its own Bing web navigation engine, which has been losing the competitive game to Google’s engine for years.
A new version of Bing with integrated ChatGPT features has already been released and is available to the public. So it can attract more users now. The same applies, after all, to a wide range of Microsoft products, perhaps all of them, in which the company intends to integrate artificial intelligence applications and quickly, as Satya Nadella stated.
Google, in its presentation, did not provide details on how and when Bard will be integrated into its main search engine. As Jill Luria, a software analyst at DA Davidson, told Reuters, “Google has been a leading force in artificial intelligence for years, but it has fallen asleep and has been slow to apply the technology to its Internet search engine.”
In short, because of this lag, Microsoft was one step behind, and in its rush to compete, it made a mistake and fell further behind. And Microsoft appears to be taking the lead in a new area of competition between tech giants, which has already included its Chinese counterparts Alibaba and Baidu.
