Google denies copying OpenAI’s ChatGPT to train its Bard, initially shared publicly through ShareGPT
Google has recently denied reports of copying Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT to train Bard. Google launched its own AI chatbot last month to compete with the viral chatbot ChatGPT, which was criticized for its accuracy shortly after its release. According to the company’s spokesperson, “Bard has not been trained on any data from ShareGPT or ChatGPT.”
The report says that OpenAI’s success forced the two AI research teams with Google’s parent company, Alphabet to overcome years of intense rivalry to collaborate. Google is launching a new initiative called Gemini following Google’s failure with Bard, it’s an attempt to compete with OpenAI’s chatbot. According to reports, software engineers at Google’s brain AI group are collaborating with employees at DeepMind which is an Alphabet subsidiary in an attempt to develop software to compete with OpenAI. The company provided early access to Bard in the US and UK and promised to expand access to more countries and languages in the future.
With Bard, Google which was expected to be at the forefront of the AI revolution has harmed the company’s prospects against its immediate rival, OpenAI. Like ChatGPT and Bing, Bard is based on a large language model, a lightweight and optimized version of LaMDA. Users can communicate with Bard by asking questions and refining their answers with follow-up questions. A former engineer, Jacob Devlin, claimed that Google was copying ChatGPT’s data to train Bard. He left the company to join OpenAI after warning Google not to use ChatGPT data. He contented that I would violate OpenAI’s terms of service. After which Google has allegedly stopped using the data. Bard has been released for public testing. Google has announced that Bard will be available for testing to a limited number of users. Google wrote on its blog at the time of Bard’s public release, “You can use Bard to boost your productivity, accelerate your ideas, and fuel your curiosity.”
