Microsoft and Google are joining the chatbot race. ChatGPT, a popular chatbot system, has recently gained attention and caused a surge in the stock prices of companies related to it. The official website has even had to stop users from logging in due to the influx of new users.
Search engines are paying attention to ChatGPT because it has the potential to replace their services. At the start of ChatGPT's development, there was talk about whether it could replace Google since its functions overlap with search. The impact on StackOverflow was obvious, with a 32 million drop in visits within a month. This has led many companies to consider how to use ChatGPT to their advantage.
Google has responded with Bard, its own ChatGPT competitor. Bard is an intelligent conversation service that has been trained on the LaMDA model and is currently undergoing final testing. It will be available to the public in the coming weeks.
Microsoft has also developed its own ChatGPT integration, called the "new Bing." It is based on the GPT-4 model, which has a larger training data than OpenAI's GPT 3.5, used by ChatGPT. According to evaluations, GPT 3.5 outperforms Google's LaMDA, which means Microsoft's new Bing should be more accurate than Google's Bard. Whether Microsoft can take a share of the search engine market will depend on how well the new Bing performs.
In China, Baidu has announced its own ChatGPT-like service called ERNIE Bot, which will be launching soon. The internal testing will be finished in March, and the technology used has not been specified. Baidu strongly focuses on artificial intelligence, so it will likely use its own training model. The exact performance of the ERNIE Bot will not be known until it goes online.
