Microsoft and Google are taking the gloves off
Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where you learn – in just a minute or two a day – what is happening in crypto and other game-changing ideas. As always: In plain English.
Do you enjoy watching a good fight from the comfort of your living room? Then get ready, because old competitors Microsoft and Google have stepped into the Artificial Intelligence ring.
Those two have fought each other plenty of times. Microsoft Office vs. Google Docs: We'd say Google won that by technical knockout, but it took years. Microsoft Phone vs. Android: Well, that's a clear one, making that a 2 to 0 for Google if you are counting.
And the list goes on, and we can now add artificial intelligence to it.
You've certainly heard about ChatGPT, the AI chatbot by a company called OpenAI. What you probably didn't know is that Microsoft struck a deal to eventually own 49% of that company.
This was such a big threat that Google called an internal "code red". You can easily see why: ChatGPT can combine the knowledge of millions of websites into a single human-like answer to any question you may have. That experience beats Googling stuff by a mile.
And not googling would be Google's death. So they didn't wait too long and just announced "Bard", their awkwardly named conversational AI competitor. We haven't seen it in action yet, but apparently, they've been working on it for years. And if anyone has scraped and indexed all the web pages in the universe, it's Google - a big advantage.
And if you want to try the power of AI to learn new things, here's a little secret: We've been working on a prototype you can play around with. Go to cryptohunt.it/magic, type in what you want to learn about, and lean back. It's really a bit like magic.
