Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

It has only been 3 months since BERT joined OpenAI as Jacob Devlin, and it is revealed that he has returned to Google again.

According to people familiar with the matter, Devlin returned to Google and worked closely with Slav Petrov, the main developer of Bard.

Before that, the reason why Devlin left Google is related to Bard, which can be described as "Bard to come and Bard to go".

The Information directly used the "AI boomerang" to describe the incident.

For this return, some netizens speculated that this may be a strategy for Devlin to seek a raise.

For its part, Devlin has harshly criticized its executives before.

This time "forget the past" to let Devlin return, we can also see that the competition for AI talent is really too fierce.

The trigger for dissatisfaction with Bard's "plagiarism" choice to leave before Devlin left Google had something to do with Bard, the chatbot.

A few months ago, it was revealed that Google Bard used content from ShareGPT as training data.

The latter is a sharing platform where users can share content chatted with ChatGPT.

If the rumor is true, it is equivalent to Google training Bard with ChatGPT.

According to OpenAI's user agreement, the content generated by ChatGPT cannot be used to train other AI, but the training results cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Obviously, Google's practice does not comply with this rule.

After hearing the news, Devlin went directly to CEO firewood chopper and issued a warning.

Google did stop the move after Devlin's warning.

In addition, there is also news that the previous training data related to the use of ChatGPT has also been quietly deleted by Google.

But Google refuses to admit that it has used data from ShareGPT for training.

Bard's answer to the matter is subtle.

The answer to the direct question is, of course, no, but Bard "admits" that he has browsed the content in ShareGPT.

Devlin, a programmer, has already been unhappy with using competitor data to train its own products, and Google's response is even less satisfying-at least for Devlin--.

As a result, before Bard was officially released, Devlin left Google and fell into the arms of OpenAI.

In the less than half a year since the birth of the progressive Bard, the performance of Bard is indeed gradually improving and its functions are becoming more and more abundant.

From the side, the reaction of netizens also proves this point:

During the internal testing phase and early days of Bard, even Google's own employees felt disgusted.

The newly released version even makes some netizens regret paying for ChatGPT.

As for Bard itself, there have been major updates in recent months:

First in April, Bard added a series of code-related features, including generation, interpretation, and debug, as well as the ability to link to colab with one click.

At the Google developer conference three weeks later, a number of blockbuster updates were launched.

First of all, you don't have to wait in line to test your qualifications, you can use them directly.

More languages are supported, including Chinese, with a total of more than 40.

This version of Bard integrates not only the latest release of PaLM 2, but also other Google apps.

For example, with the help of image recognition tool Google Lens,Bard also has a "visual ability."

In the reply, you can also ask Bard to add the picture.

It's not just image recognition, online documents, network disks, mailboxes. Even maps are integrated into the new version of Bard.

In addition to their own products, people like to see Adobe Firely has also been "invited" into the Bard.

I wonder if the progress of Bard is the reason why Devlin chose to return. What do you think of it?
