Google's conversational AI service 'Bard' to challenge ChatGPT

Conversational AI services like ChatGPT are absolutely dominating the tech news these days, and for good reason. Whether you want answers to a medical question or a serviceable 800-word essay on existentialism, the new breed of AI services will suck in information from the internet at large, and spit back content that's remarkably human-ish. Google has been lagging behind the upstart AI platforms--if only in terms of recent press coverage. But today Google made a big effort to catch up with the larger AI conversation, officially announcing a new AI platform called Bard in a blog post by company CEO, Sundar Pichai. Much like ChatGPT, Bard is designed to produce detailed answers to questions both large and small.
