Google chat technology coming to Search

 

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said Google plans to integrate its chatbot technology into its search engine.   Pichai told the WSJ that users would be able to "ask questions to Google and engage with LLMs (large language models)" in Search. Google's Bard, a direct interface to a language model developed by Google, can hold conversations and answer questions. The company publicly released the ChatGPT competitor to consumers in the U.S. and U.K. last month. Google described Bard as an "early experiment" that allows users to collaborate and try out the generative AI technology. However, Bard has yet to be integrated into the actual search engine. Meanwhile, Microsoft added OpenAI's ChatGPT technology to its Bing search engine earlier this year, which could help it gain market share. In November, Google claimed 91.15% of the search engine market. This was followed by Bing and Yahoo, which both had a 2.95% share.
