Get ready, we're about to see an AI search war between Google and Microsoft. Why? I'll tell you
0:07
about it in one minute. But before I do, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel where
0:11
each week I'll be uploading new videos on a variety of different topics. So everything started
0:17
back in November when OpenAI publicly released their new chatbot, ChatGPT. While it wasn't
0:24
perfect, ChatGPT performed much better than chatbots of the past and its popularity went
0:29
viral. Word began to leak that Microsoft, the company that previously invested $1 billion in
0:35
OpenAI, was planning to integrate ChatGPT in many of their products, including their fairly
0:41
unpopular search engine Bing. Bing has only a 4% share of search on the internet, a far cry from
0:47
the 90% currently owned by Google. But the threat of an OpenAI and Microsoft collaboration possibly
0:54
cutting into Google's dominance in search was enough for company CEO Sundar Pichai to call a
1:00
code red emergency with leadership. The goal was to strategize how they could also implement AI
1:05
into search to combat what Microsoft was rumored to be doing with Bing. This even included consulting
1:11
Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin for advice, the duo who previously exited the company
1:17
Weeks after this meeting, Pichai officially announced Google's response to the new Bing
1:22
a new chatbot called ApprenticeBard, which was built on the large language model Lambda
1:28
Several reports say that Google currently is testing Bard internally with employees
1:33
and it's widely speculated that this technology finds its way into search. According to the CNBC
1:38
article by Jennifer Elias, ApprenticeBard looks and works like ChatGPT, but unlike the OpenAI
1:45
chatbot, Bard actually has access to recent events. The version of ChatGPT, which was released
1:51
in November, had a memory that was limited to 2021. But our story doesn't end at Google's
1:57
response because there's more. Just one day after Pichai's announcement, Microsoft held a special
2:03
event where Satya Nadella and other executives confirmed their plans to use ChatGPT inside Bing
2:10
Users enter their query into Bing, and it displays a list of links on the left, similar to
2:16
what you'd see on a traditional search. But on the right, just like in ChatGPT, there are the answers
2:22
to your query. You'll notice that unlike the public release of ChatGPT a few months ago
2:27
this version of Bing crawls the web for current information and even provides citations. There's
2:33
also an option called Bing Chat, and this allows users to refine their query in a conversational
2:39
interface. And you can access all of the same functions with Bing Chat as you could with ChatGPT
2:46
Not only that, but Microsoft also announced their plans to integrate ChatGPT into their Edge browser
2:52
another way to possibly get a leg up on Google's browser, Chrome. So this new Bing looks extremely
2:59
impressive, but the more intriguing question is going to be what Google's plan to respond with
3:04
BARD actually looks like, because the AI search war still is not over by a long shot
