ChatGPT would be a potential competitor to Google: the company is on alert

The artificial intelligence (AI) behind the chatbot ChatGPT of OpenAI has put Google on alert, for posing a risk to the company’s main business given its potential application in search engines.

A Google engineer warned this summer that the Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA)the artificial intelligence model created by the company to develop ‘chatbots’ with advanced language models, was able to think and reason like a human being.

The company denied that fact. and explained that “These systems mimic the kinds of exchanges found in millions of sentences and can touch on any fantastic topic”but the experience shared by the engineer alerted to the possibility of a conscious AI in the long term.

Recently, the experience of ChatGPT has recovered this concern. Developed by OpenAI, it is a artificial intelligence chat trained to hold a text conversation, and he has been surprised by the naturalness of his answers and by his ability to generate and link ideas, correct his mistakes and remember previous conversations that he uses as context.

ChatGPT has been released on an experimental basis and still has a lot to improve, but hhas put Google on alert for its potential application in search enginesthe field that Google has dominated for more than 20 years, where it has a market share of 92%, according to Statista data.

According to reports in The New York Times, which cites internal reports and recordings to which it has had access, Google is refocusing the company’s artificial intelligence strategy, for which it has involved numerous working groups in this area and has even urged employees to develop AI solutions that allow the creation of works of art and other images similar to DALL-E, also from OpenAI.

For the moment Google does not consider the use of LaMDA in the search engine, since it is a technology that does not fit well with advertisements, and this business is the only one that accounted for 80 percent of the income last year. Specifically, it opposes offering precisely the results that the user is looking for with a business model based on clicks on advertising content.

The tech giant has also not made LAMDA testing widely accessible, as it can generate harmful, toxic, and false content, as has already happened with the Tay Microsoft chatbot or more recently with Galactica from Meta.
