Google Announced Its Own Generative AI Competition
In response to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google announced its own generative AI competition. The company’s flagship search engine now has AI-generated text, an AI-optimized version of Android was shown, and a chatbot named Bard was made available to users. One Google product, Google Assistant, Google’s response to Siri and Alexa, did not get generative AI.
Finally, during Google’s New York hardware launch for the Pixel, Google Assistant was updated for the ChatGPT age. A hybrid of Google Assistant and Bard was recently unveiled. Everything from organizing a new vacation to summarizing your email to coming up with a clever comment for a photo to share on social media is within its capabilities.
Since the new generative AI experience is still in its infancy, it can’t even be called an “app” just yet. When pressed for specifics on how it may look on a user’s phone, executives from the corporation gave conflicting answers. Is Google trying to time this announcement with their hardware unveiling?

The Bard-ified Google Assistant
With its new integration with Bard, Google Assistant can now decipher visual content. Google Lens is an existing image recognition capability accessible through the Google Assistant or the Google app. Lens will either recognize the artwork or attempt to sell you the shoes by offering links to purchase them if you take a picture of them and submit it to them. On the other hand, your shared picture will make sense to the Bard-ified version of Assistant.
The Bard-ified Google Assistant, regardless of its packaging, will employ generative AI to understand and reply to questions asked in written, spoken, or visual formats. Users must actively opt-in, it’s confined to authorized users only for a while, and it’s mobile-only (not compatible with smart speakers). It’s possible that, on Android, it might function as either a full-screen app or an overlay, like the current version of Google Assistant. One of Google’s existing iOS applications is presumably where it will reside.

Following in the footsteps of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Amazon’s Alexa, which have recently become more conversational by adding the ability to answer with synthetic voices and explain the contents of uploaded photos, the Google Assistant has just received a generative glow-up of its own. New to Google’s improved assistant is supposedly the ability to discuss the mobile website the user is now viewing.
