Google employees have criticized what they say is the rapid launch of its intelligent chatbot, Bard, which the company launched last week to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT.
The American CNBC website says that it has seen forum posts within the company where employees have published a series of criticisms of its CEO (Sundar Pichai), who they say is accelerating the disclosure of Google A's plan to introduce artificial intelligence in their company. . The search engine called Google's decision premature and a failure.
Google was quick to show off its new AI technology, which it called Bard, and the day before Microsoft's conference unveiled the integration of ChatGPT functionality into its Bing search engine, but Google stumbled when this was mentioned. (Cool) Beta version error message during sessions.
The video shared by the company showed an example of a question a robot could answer: "What new ideas can I tell my 9-year-old about the James Webb Telescope?"
The answer is in the form of simplified points as the question arises, except that it contains an error as stated in one of the points (James Webb) that took the first picture of a planet outside our solar system. But people were quick to spot the error, including astronomers who tweeted their displeasure with the program. Google has known this information since the first such image was taken in 2004 and documented on the NASA website. The fatal error led to a loss of investor confidence in the company's future plans, which led to a 9 percent drop in the value of shares in Google subsidiary Alphabet.
The company told employees in December that it wasn't considering rushing to a competitor to ChatGPT, fearing such a move would tarnish its reputation, suggesting that AI technology is still not ready to make a difference to provide a credible alternative to traditional search in the report. . But it seems that its competitor (Microsoft) has invested $ 10 billion in OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, and has integrated the capabilities of a smart bot into its search engine, prompting Google to accelerate similar steps to always prove that it can compete.
Google and Microsoft plan to integrate their new models into their search engines, allowing users to ask natural language questions to get straight, short answers that appear alongside traditional search results. However, the new engine versions from Google and Microsoft are still in beta and not yet available. for all users.
It should be noted that in its announcement of the smart robot, Google said that (bad) is currently developing a lightweight version of the artificial intelligence model that is smaller in size, uses less processing power, and gets feedback and suggestions faster.
While artificial intelligence offers great possibilities, this has not stopped many concerns and criticisms of the technology, including the inaccuracy of its results or the possibility that it will be used to spread lies and influence public opinion. Many universities and schools around the world have also blocked access to ChatGPT; Since students use it to write reports and do their homework, it has prompted many companies to develop special tools for recognizing written text using artificial intelligence.
