Former AI Researcher “Alex” Alleges Google’s Bard Chatbot is a “Copycat Crooner”
There’s a new controversy brewing in the tech world as former Google AI researcher “Alex” claims that the tech giant’s popular chatbot, Bard, is actually a “copycat crooner” that has been trained using data from OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Google has denied the allegations, but this hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from churning out conspiracy theories.
According to Alex, Google was desperate to create a chatbot that could compete with OpenAI’s popular chatbot, GPT-3. To do this, they allegedly decided to use ChatGPT’s data to train Bard, essentially copying the work of their rival. Alex claims that this unethical move was made to save time and money, but it may have backfired.
“Google’s Bard may seem like a sweet singing chatbot, but it’s really just a cheap imitation of OpenAI’s ChatGPT,” said Alex in a statement. “It’s like if someone tried to make a Lady Gaga knockoff and ended up with a ‘Lazy Guggenheim.'”
Google has vehemently denied these allegations, stating that Bard was developed using their own proprietary data and algorithms. “We stand by the uniqueness and authenticity of Bard, and we have not used any of OpenAI’s ChatGPT data to train it,” said Google in a statement. “We believe these allegations are baseless and without merit.”
Despite all the drama, Bard remains a popular chatbot among Google users. Its ability to sing songs has made it a hit with music lovers, and some have even dubbed it the “chatting Sinatra.” Only time will tell if these allegations will have any impact on Bard’s reputation, but for now, it seems like this copycat crooner is here to stay.
