ChatGPT has a new rival, Google Bard

ChatGPT has a new rival, Google Bard

Google on Monday announced an artificial intelligence chatbot technology called Bard that the company will launch in the coming weeks. Bard will compete directly with rival ChatGPT, an AI service created by OpenAI.

Bard is powered by the company's large language model LaMDA, or the Language Model for Dialog Applications.

Last week, CNBC reported that Google is testing some of these features with employees as part of a plan to respond to ChatGPT, the popular chatbot backed in part by Microsoft.

The company gave an example of using Bard by simplifying complex topics, such as explaining new discoveries from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old.
