When ChatGPT became widely accessible in 2022, internal sources say Google experienced a heightened sense of concern, almost like a “code red.”
The presence of this quick-answer AI chatbot made the company consider how it might affect its core search business.
Meanwhile, Google has taken several strategic actions that highlight its dedication to AI advancement. This commitment was showcased through the launch of its AI-powered chatbot, Bard, earlier this year, along with the ongoing integration of machine learning features across its products and services.
However, emerging information suggests that this upcoming autumn will mark the debut of Google’s most extensive AI-focused product yet.
This product is intended to surpass both ChatGPT and Google‘s own Bard chatbot. The initiative is led by experts from Google Brain and DeepMind, two prominent names in the field of AI research.
A confidential source connected to the project, known as “Gemini,” has recently shared new details about Google’s plans, as reported by The Information.
Text and image generation
Based on this insider, Google’s attention is on combining the text abilities of its wide-ranging language models (LLMs) with the image generation capabilities of AI.
Unlike ChatGPT, which mainly generates text, the Gemini project aims to introduce contextual image creation, essentially merging ChatGPT and DALL-E functionalities.
