Google vs ChatGPT:: Google Might Announce ChatGPT Rival On February 8th

On February 8, 2023, at 8:30 am, Google will organize an event where it will reveal its advancements in artificial intelligence. Google will demonstrate during the event how it is using AI to transform how people search for, discover, and engage with information, making the process easier and more user-friendly.

Although it is unknown whether Google will introduce a new service or product at the event, there are hints that it could be a counter to ChatGPT, OpenAI's fastest-growing chatbot, which has become extremely popular over the past several months. ChatGPT reportedly reached 100 million users in January, surpassing competitors Instagram and TikTok far more quickly.

The parent company of Google, Alphabet, reportedly declared an internal "code red" following the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT because it regards it as a potential threat to its search business, according to recent news. According to a recent news story, Google has started testing a number of new AI technologies, including a chatbot titled "Apprentice Bard."
Google competes with ChatGPT by investing $300 million in Anthropic.

The reports that Google has contributed $300 million to Anthropic, a well-known OpenAI rival. The recently released generative AI model Claude by Anthropic is considered to be a strong rival to ChatGPT.

The investment puts the San Francisco-based business at about $5 billion and offers Google a 10% stake. This news comes in the wake of Microsoft's recent $10 billion investment in OpenAI, demonstrating the escalating rivalry among major technology companies in the generative AI market.

Google, meanwhile, never felt forced to make its early AI technologies easily accessible to the general public. The introduction of ChatGPT changed this since ChatGPT could become more popular if Google doesn't introduce competing alternatives quickly enough.
