GoogleのBardについて教えて
ChatGPT
GoogleのBardという用語は私には馴染みがありません。Googleは多数のプロジェクトを展開していますが、Bardという名称のプロジェクトや製品は現在、私が知る限り存在しません。
もし何か特定の情報や文脈があれば、それに基づいてより具体的な回答を提供することができるかもしれません。

Google's Bard is a ChatGPT rival that could change the way we use Search

Google has finally snapped and announced a ChatGPT rival called Bard – an "experimental conversational AI service" that'll be released to the public in "the coming weeks".
Like ChatGPT, the chatbot promises be able to answer complex questions and teach you about in-depth topics in a conversational style. But the main difference from ChatGPT, for now, is that Bard will be connected to the web, allowing it to give you what Google claims (opens in new tab) are "fresh, high-quality responses".
Google's Bard is powered by LaMDA (short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications). Like ChatGPT, it's a type of machine learning called a 'large language model' that's been trained of a vast dataset and is capable of understanding human language as it's written.

From today, Google says that Bard will be opened up to "trusted testers", but the public will be able to start using it in the coming weeks. Exactly how we'll be able to access Bard in these early stages isn't clear, but Google says soon its AI-powered features "will begin rolling out Google Search soon".

So what exactly will Google's Bard do for you and how will it compared with ChatGPT, which Microsoft appears to be building into its own search engine, Bing? Here's everything you need to know about it.
What is Google Bard?
Like ChatGPT, Bard is a chatbot that's built on deep learning algorithms called 'large language models', in this case one called LaMDA.
To start with, Bard will be released on a "lightweight model version" of LaMDA. Google says this will allow it to scale the chatbot to more people, as this "much smaller model requires significantly less computing power".

In its early days, Bard will be in a testing phase in which Google will combine our external feedback with its own internal testing. This is because, for all their benefits, chatbots have also shown a propensity for negative traits that include everything from bias to powering cyberattacks.
Opening up chatbots for public testing brings great benefits that Google says it's "excited" about, but also risks that explain why the search giant has been so cautious to release Bard into the wild. The meteoric rise of ChatGPT has, though, seemingly forced its hand and expedited the public launch of Bard.
What will Google's Bard let you do?
So far, Google has been a little vague about Bard's capabilities, but it has provided some examples of what it can do. In short, Bard is a next-gen development of Google Search that could change the way we use search engines and look for information on the web.
Google says that Bard can be "an outlet for creativity" or "a launchpad for curiosity, helping you to explain new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old, or learn more about the best strikers in football right now, and then get drills to build your skills".

Unlike traditional Google Search, Bard promises to draw on information from the web to help it answer more open-ended questions in impressive depth. For example, rather than standard questions like "how many keys does a piano have?", Bard will be able to give lengthy answers to a more general query like “is the piano or guitar easier to learn"?
Google says you'll see answers like this appear in Search "soon", with answers that "distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats". According to Google, Bard will also let you do things like "plan a friend's baby shower", "compare two Oscar-nominated movies" or "get lunch ideas based on what's in your fridge".
Combine this technology with voice-based helpers like Google Assistant, and it isn't hard to see that we could soon be on our way to having computers that at least give the appearance of having artificial intelligence.
Google Bard vs ChatGPT: what's the difference?
We'll need to get more information from Google about exactly how broad Bard's skills will be and how it'll be integrated into products like Search – and that will likely be explained at an event on February 8. But fundamentally the chatbot is based on similar technology to ChatGPT.
Both Bard and ChatGPT are chatbots that are built on 'large language models', which are machine learning algorithms that have a wide range of talents including text generation, translation and answering prompts based on the vast datasets that they've been trained on.

The two chatbots, or "experimental conversational AI service" as Google calls Bard, are also fine-tuned using human interactions to guide them towards desirable responses. A potential difference between the two, though, is that ChatGPT isn't currently connected to the internet, which means it has a very limited knowledge of facts or events after the year 2021.
Google says that Bard, meanwhile, "draws on information from the web" to provide up-to-date answers. This may not be a difference between Bard and ChatGPT for very long though – a leaked preview recently showed a version of Microsoft's Bing with ChatGPT integration, which suggests that it won't be long until we see the latter combined with Microsoft's search engine.
Does Google Bard only do text answers?
Like ChatGPT, Google's Bard will initially only answer text prompts with its own written replies. But LaMDA isn't the only AI technology that Google has in its locker, and we can expect to see similar advances come to the worlds of video and audio.
Alongside LaMDA, Google says it also has other AI models like PaLM, Imagen and MusicLM that could potentially create "entirely new ways to engage with information, from language and images to video and audio".
While that's pretty exciting (or mildly terrifying, depending on how you view AI tech), these might be a little further off. Google says it's "working to bring these latest AI advancements into our products", but that it's starting with a lightweight version of LaMDA in Google Search.
We'll no doubt hear more about Google's Bard and how it's other AI tech will integrate into Maps, Google Lens and more at its 'Live from Paris' event on February 8 (above).
ChatGPT
ああ、ありがとうございます。GoogleのBardは、新しい会話型AIサービスであり、GoogleがChatGPTに対抗して開発したものです。LaMDAと呼ばれる「対話アプリケーションのための言語モデル」によって駆動されており、Webに接続されていることがChatGPTとの違いの一つです。Googleは、Bardが「新鮮で高品質な回答」を提供できると主張しています。Bardは、Google Searchで利用できるようになります。Googleは、Bardが一般向けに公開される前に、信頼できるテスターに提供されると述べています。Bardは、ChatGPTと同様に、複雑な質問に答えたり、深いトピックを教えたりすることができます。Bardは、Googleが提供する検索機能を改善することを目的としており、従来の検索に比べてより詳細で柔軟な回答を提供することができます。

MicrosoftのBingにChatGPTが組み込まれたことを知っていますか
ChatGPT
はい、Microsoft BingにChatGPTが組み込まれたことを知っています。Microsoftは、自社の検索エンジンBingでChatGPTを使用することを発表し、2021年6月に「BingでChat」という機能を導入しました。これにより、Bingの検索結果ページでユーザーはChatGPTとの会話を通じて情報を収集できるようになりました。Microsoftは、ChatGPTがより人間らしい回答を提供できるようにするために、人工知能によって生成された回答を、人間による編集や選別を行うことを発表しています。これにより、ChatGPTが提供する回答の品質が向上することが期待されています。
