BARD AI is Google's $100 billion mistake!
As we have seen a huge demand for OpenAI's ChatGPT among all sections of users, no company will miss this opportunity back, so many major tech giants announced AI services to include in the search engine. Last week Microsoft announced that they would include OpenAI's ChatGPT4 in their search engine, then Google announced its Bard AI. These AI is very useful for such as bloggers, professional technical experts, programmers, YouTubers, etc.
ChatGPT faces glitches in its service at times due to being high in demand, besides ChatGPT has a huge impact in the field of AI powered chatbots and their service delivery. So no one wants to miss this opportunity, as you know time is money, no one will remember you if you were left behind, so at the right time the right product will generate its share in the user base.
So in a hurry, Google BARD AI made a factual mistake in its promotional video, causing them to face a more than $ 100 billion drop in the market value of Google's parent company Alphabet Inc.
What happened recently that took the internet by storm and the market value of Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. fell by $ 100 billion?
Company employees have repeatedly mocked Google CEO Sundar Pichai's recent announcement of BARD AI, the search giant's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT, calling it "rushed" and "botched". According to CNBC, employees filled the company's internal platform, Memegen, with memes on the announcement.
Some have directly criticised CEO Sundar Pichai, calling the launch and layoffs "short-sighted" and urging him to adopt a "long-term approach".
Many Google employees also criticized it, saying that the recent layoffs had boosted the stock by about 3 percent, but after the Bard AI promotional video, it fell about 9 percent.
Critics may be right after a factual error was made by BARD AI in a recently shared promotional video. Alphabet Inc shares also fell nearly 9 percent after the incident that accompanied the video. Following the promotional video broadcast by Google, the market value of the original Alphabet Inc. fell by more than $100 billion.
Many users used social media to express their views on Google's BARD AI service run by Lamda, all of them pointing to this factual mistake. "Unfortunately a simple Google search can tell us that JWST didn't actually "take the first picture of a planet outside our own solar system" and it's literally in Bard's ad, so I won't trust it yet," one user tweeted.
I have a question, are these AIs really ready to meet the current demand?
Recent events suggest that they have to do more work to meet the needs of the current user and also improve the quality of the content they produce.
