If ChatGPT is your crazy Uncle Leo, Google’s Bard is your Aunt Martha. You know, the one that wraps her couch in plastic.
Tuesday, Alphabet Inc. Google released its
artificial intelligence chatbot competitor, a response to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft Corp.’s Bing chatbot, which uses OpenAI technology. As with those others, you type a prompt in Bard and prose pops up that’s probably better than your last text message conversation. He can answer questions, write emails, and tell you a bedtime story. Yes, he can even write a diary column.
