"Google Releases Bard, Its Competitor in the Race to Create A.I. Chatbots" - The new york times, march 21, 2023

I admit I am getting tired of the drip, drip, drip, of news about AI this semester. Here is another piece of news from The New York Times today.

"The internet giant will grant users access to a chatbot after years of cautious development, chasing splashy debuts from rivals OpenAI and Microsoft."

"For more than three months, Google executives have watched as projects at Microsoft and a San Francisco start-up called OpenAI have stoked the public’s imagination with the potential for artificial intelligence.

"But on Tuesday, Google tentatively stepped off the sidelines as it released a chatbot called Bard. The new A.I. chatbot will be available to a limited number of users in the United States and Britain and will accommodate additional users, countries and languages over time, Google executives said in an interview."
