Bing with ChatGPT and Google Bard are two leading competitors in the rapidly escalating AI arms race. Each a well-known search engine grafted to an experimental chatbot that's still being developed, they both claim to offer you a taste of the future by having the chatbot interpret your questions and summarize answers.
In their idealized forms these search bots promise to give you human-like help, and they're pitched as copilots or concierges to the web. When I flew up to Washington back in February to attend Microsoft's ChatGPT event I saw company chief Satya Nadella speak enthusiastically about how these chatbots, trained on LLM (large language models), will radically reshape the way we interact with computers.
