The recent advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have led to the creation of chatbots capable of understanding and responding to human language in a natural and conversational way.
Chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard have generated significant buzz recently due to their ability to provide helpful and informative responses to various questions and topics.
In this article, we will explore ChatGPT, Bard and the reason for so much hype.

What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an OpenAI language model. It can produce human-like responses to queries and prompts as a conversational AI trained on a substantial reservoir of language data from the internet.
ChatGPT uses a deep learning technique called Transformer, which allows it to understand the context and relationships between words in a sentence. As a result, ChatGPT can produce pertinent and well-rounded answers to various queries and subjects. ChatGPT has been developed for various uses, including information retrieval, entertainment, and customer support.
It can be incorporated into instant messaging apps, voice assistants, and other conversational interfaces to give consumers a simple and easy way to access information and services.
The model has received widespread recognition for its advanced language abilities and is considered one of the most advanced language models currently available.

What is Bard?
“Bard” is a cutting-edge conversational AI technology developed by Google. It is designed to provide natural and intuitive responses to a wide range of questions and prompts, similar to OpenAI’s “ChatGPT.” However, Bard has its own unique capabilities, drawing information from the web to generate fresh and high-quality responses.
Powered by Google’s “Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA),” Bard utilises a lightweight version of LaMDA to make it scalable and accessible to more users. This allows it to provide real-time, relevant responses to an ever-increasing range of questions and topics.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai introduced Bard to the world on February 6, positioning it as a groundbreaking development in conversational AI. Bard’s combination of advanced language processing and the ability to access information from the web makes it a game-changer in the field. With its innovative technology, Bard has the potential to revolutionise how we interact with information and services through conversational interfaces.
Access to Google Bard is currently available for trusted users and will be available soon for the public in the upcoming weeks.
Reasons behind the hype around ChatGPT & Bard and what makes them attractive solutions for various applications:

Natural Language Capabilities
The fascination with chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard is mostly due to their capacity to comprehend human language and respond in a manner that closely resembles human interaction. This allows users to communicate with the chatbot in a familiar and intuitive way, making them a valuable resource for information retrieval, customer service, and education.
The natural language capabilities of chatbots have also made them useful for a wide range of purposes, from answering simple questions to providing detailed information on complex topics.

Cutting-Edge Technology
Chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard leverage the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, which allows them to continuously improve their responses and ability to understand language over time. This has made them an attractive solution for businesses and organizations looking to automate certain processes and improve the efficiency of their operations.
The technology behind chatbots has also made it possible to create chatbots that are highly customisable, allowing businesses and organisations to tailor their chatbot to meet their specific needs and requirements.

Increasing Accessibility
Another reason for the growing popularity of chatbots is their increasing accessibility. With the rise of voice-activated devices and smart speakers, chatbots have become more accessible and convenient for users, making them an attractive solution for a wide range of applications.
The increasing accessibility of chatbots has also made them a valuable tool for those looking for information or assistance. Still, they may not have the time or resources to search independently.

Wrapping Up
Chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard have generated significant excitement and interest in recent years due to their natural language capabilities, cutting-edge technology, and increasing accessibility.
Whether you are looking for information, assistance, or simply a conversation, chatbots have become an increasingly valuable resource for a wide range of purposes. The hype around chatbots is a testament to their potential to revolutionise how we communicate and access information, and it will be exciting to see what the future holds for this rapidly evolving technology.
