You can now sign up to use Google Bard!

Google is currently at war with OpenAI and its powerful AI tools. While DALL-E is pretty scary, it’s ChatGPT that has Google up in arms. Now, Google Bard, the company’s answer to ChatGPT, is hitting the public, and you can sign up for the waitlist today.

What is Bard?

Last October, OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT. This is an insanely powerful chatbot that can produce AI-generated responses based on text input. Bard is Google’s version of the same thing. So, you’ll be able to ask Bard pretty much anything and get responses as though you’re talking to a human being.

The story of Bard is a bit of a painful one. During a presentation where Google showed off the chatbot, Bard gave an inaccurate answer. While it was a little slip of the tongue, it caused Google’s stocks to plummet sharply as people lost faith in Google’s solution.

However, Bard is out, and you can sign up for the waitlist

While that whole debacle caused a lot of havoc for Google, the company persisted and continued to work on Bard. Now, you’re able to sign up for the waitlist to check it out. Signing up for the waitlist is extremely easy. In order to sign up, you’ll need to be signed in to your Google account. Next, go to this page.

There, you’ll see a button that lets you sign up for the waitlist. Google will then get your permission to send you an email when it’s your turn. You’re basically subscribing to get email updates from the company.

After you agree to get updates and press the Yes, I’m In button on the bottom right of the screen, you’ll be good to go. Just keep an eye out for the email letting you know that you have access.

At this point, we don’t know the full potential of Bard. What we do know is that it’s about time Google launched it. ChatGPT just unveiled the next evolution of ChatGPT. Not only is it faster and much more powerful, but there’s more capability coming down the pipeline such as text-to-video. When Bard comes out, it will definitely be a showdown on the AI field.
