Last year, You.com (a search engine) launched a ChatGPT-style chatbot. It introduces different AI-powered technologies to the larger web. However, it does provide specific solutions based on false information.

The new search engine function is modelled after ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that gained popularity earlier this year for being able to provide original answers to challenging questions using data it gathers from throughout the internet. However, You.com claimed that by responding to more up-to-date queries like "Who won the 2022 World Cup," it wants to stand apart. Information about ChatGPT is only current as of last year.

Users of You.com should exercise caution, though, as its confident response to the World Cup question seemed to get specific information inaccurate, including the location of the final, the day it took place, and the player who made the winning shot. In addition, the chatbot left out critical data when CNET reposed the same query.

Both chat programmes show results from the web and repeat entries from an encyclopaedia about different topics. They can also write a letter in response to a prompt like, "Write me a letter to an old friend I don't really like but keep in touch with out of obligation."

ChatGPT, You.com, and other similar chatbots are part of a more significant shift in the tech world, where artificial intelligence programmes are increasingly being coded to make new kinds of art, music, writing, and even their code. Because of how popular they are and how quickly they seem to change, people are starting to wonder what art is and if computers can make unique things from a pool of information.

Conclusion

Google has built its reputation on AI work like self-driving cars, real-time translation apps, and smart assistants. So the sudden popularity of ChatGPT, in particular, is said to have set off alarm bells at the company. But, of course, the search giant has technology that works like ChatGPT. It's called LaMDA and hasn't been made public because it could give embarrassing answers or start repeating hate speech. Other chatbots, including ones from Microsoft, Facebook, and others, have needed help with these same problems.

ChatGPT and You.com are exciting examples of what the future of AI might look like now. In a statement, You.com co-founder Richard Socher said that adding chat will make You.com stand out from Google.
