Google Bard is the company's answer to ChatGPT: an AI chatbot using LaMDA, the company's in-development language model. We've been testing it, and what's immediately clear are all the company's warnings, whether it's the experiment label or the regular reminders that Bard "will not always get it right." Even the example entries, when you boot up Bard, include what the chatbot can't do. The big difference between Google and Bing's integration is the alternative responses that Bard throws up alongside the conversation. You can click the dropdown arrow next to "View other drafts" at the top left of each chat bubble to see some other suggestions.

Google is giving all advertisers the ability to run 15-second non-skippable video ads. Previously, these ads were only available to select advertisers through YouTube reservation, which is similar to Google Preferred. Google is bringing the 15-second non-skippable video ad format from YouTube over to Google Ads and Display and Video 360. Recognizing that advertisers should have access to the full range of creative options regardless of how they buy – whether in advance via reservation or in the Google Ads auction." The ads will be displayed across YouTube and Google video ad partners.
