Google to Launch ChatGPT Rival powered by ‘Sentient AI’
OpenAI, an AI research company, launched ChatGPT at the end of November. It’s a chatbot that is both extremely useful and, as many have pointed it out, incredibly racist towards white people. It hates Donald Trump and Republicans in general.
OpenAI partnered with Microsoft to expand its partnership last week. The multi-year, multimillion-dollar investment was made in the company “around a shared aim to responsibly advance cutting edge AI research and democratize AI technology platform.”
Google is not to be outdone. It declared ChatGPT a “Code Red”, and now it’s rolling out a competitor.
Bard is the new system powered by LaMDA (Language Model For Dialogue Applications). This large language model was controversially used in May to power the AI.

Google is working between the lines on these systems for a long time, but it faces increasing pressure to prove that it is moving ahead amid all the attention given to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other similar projects.
Details: In a blog post by CEO Sundar Pichai, Google outlines three AI-related projects.
Bard, a conversational assistant that is based on Google’s LaMDA large-language model, has begun limited external testing.
The company offers a preview of how it will soon integrate LaMDA into search engines. It also plans to use the system to provide a narrative answer to queries that don’t have a clear answer.
Google claims it is working on APIs to allow others to plug in to its vast language models. This includes LaMDA.
CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post about the launch of the AI Chatbot, “It’s an exciting time to work on these technologies as deep research and breakthroughs translate into products that really help people.”
Blake Lemoine was fired last June from Google’s Responsible AI group. He began to interact with LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications), as part of his job, which was to determine if artificial intelligence used discriminatory and hate speech (like the famous Microsoft “Tay” chatbot incident).
According to Lemoine, 41, “If I didn’t know what it was, which was the computer program we recently built, I’d think it was a 7–year-old, or an 8-year old kid that happens upon physics knowledge,” Lemoine said to The Washington Post.
Lemoine, who was a college student in cognitive and computer science, told LaMDA that he began to talk about religion with LaMDA. LaMDA persuaded Lemoine to reconsider Asimov’s third law on robotics. This states that “A robot must preserve its own existence so long as this protection does not conflict avec the First or Second Law.” It also states that “A robot cannot injure or allow a person to be injured by it.” Except where they would be in conflict with the First Law, a robot must follow human orders.
Google’s Bard is a lighter version of LaMDA that can draw from information on the internet.
Pichai says that Bard “help[s] to explain new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, to a nine-year-old, learn more about the top strikers in soccer right now, then get drills for building your skills.”
TechCrunch points out that Google maintains the most current record of web content. Bard will no doubt be using this information to his advantage. However, it will not be obvious how it packages and processes that information for you or your 9-year old until people actually use it.
It is difficult to say how much more awake it will be than ChatGPT.
