Google building AI that offers life advice, says report

Google could soon use Bard's generative AI capabilities to offer virtual life coach services.

Google BardBard is Google's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Google’s large language AI model Bard could soon gain more functionalities as the search engine giant is currently exploring 21 different ways to incorporate Bard, which includes Bard as an AI-powered life coach to offer helpful life advice to people.

According to a report from New York Times, Google has merged the DeepMind research lab with the Brain AI team to develop this module, where, it could even respond to critical questions with an emotional coefficient using artificial intelligence.

Google is also considering other ways to implement its Bard AI, including a tool capable of producing scientific and creative content. Besides, Bard might also get additional features that could help journalists with headlines. While these technologies have a profound application in the real world, they are also likely to affect people as generative AI goes into automation.

As of now, both Google Bard and OpenAI’s ChatGPT are capable of producing human-like responses to most queries. However, they do have their own set of issues, which includes “AI hallucination” which makes the chatbot make up the facts that might not be true.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is currently ahead of the generative AI race. However, Google is also catching up, and the company seems to be working on various real-life applications of generative AI such as the AI life coach. With solutions like this, Google Bard should personalise the chatbot to enable it to deliver user-specific responses.
