The past few days have been hectic and exciting when it comes to AI. Technological, among them Google, were launched for notification purposes on the integration of generative AI models into their products and services, bringing us closer to a time when this technology will a game changeras the Anglo-Saxons say, something that will change the rules of the game as we know them.

It all started, just two months ago, with the open beta version of ChatGPT. Since then, it’s been a rare week where we haven’t had news regarding first this OpenAI chatbot and, shortly after, another technological development that points in the same direction. In some cases, such as Microsoft, it is pushing its participation in OpenAI and in others, such as Google, with its own AI developments.

After weeks of rumors about the integration of a variant of ChatGPT based on GPT 4.0 into Microsoft Bing, Microsoft and OpenAI yesterday announced their plans in this regard, in which we also meet Microsoft Edge in addition to Bing, during a press presentation that Redmond said was planned for a long time time, but coincidentally, it happened the day before the Google Live From Paris event announced last week that took place this afternoon.

As you may also remember, last Monday Google announced Bard, its own chatbot, which was also supposed to be a response to the speed it seemed (as confirmed yesterday) to be charging. Microsoft’s plan to put Bing front and center innovation in relation to internet search engines. So we all expected that this afternoon’s event in Paris would clear up all the doubts we had about Bard, and that it would also reveal the dates we could start using it.

However, and although the meeting was devoted to artificial intelligence, Google did not provide more information about Bard than what it had already revealed the day before yesterday on the official blog company by its CEO Sundar Pichai. Today was a great opportunity for Google to respond to what Microsoft and OpenAI presented yesterday, especially the integration of Prometheus in Edge. But at least for now Google doesn’t seem to want to run that much.

Instead of there have been some interesting announcements, but personally I don’t think they’re up to par from what we saw yesterday in Redmond. News in Google Lens for Android, which will allow you to search what is displayed on the screen, the ability to combine images and texts in the search to obtain more precise results, the arrival of Live View and its enlargement into interiors, and improvements in the translator, which will allow you to choose the appropriate meaning of polysemic words based on context as well as adapting to local idioms.

These are interesting announcements, undoubtedly features that will improve the experience of using the tools, but it would be cynical to deny that we expected more, especially after yesterday’s blow to the table from Microsoft. At this point, I have to say that I understand the conservative profile adopted by Google compared to Microsoft, which plays much less in this field. However, and more so in a world as dynamic as the technological one, doesn’t look like a winning trick.
