4 Google Bard search prompting tips for IT pros #GooglebardAI
Learn how to effectively use Google Bard to save time when researching and writing about products, processes and topics.
The Google Bard experimental chatbot gives IT pros the opportunity to explore generative artificial intelligence capabilities. IT pros who treat Google Bard as an exploration engine — i.e., a way to gather and explore information and generate relevant text — may significantly shorten the time it takes to research and produce paragraphs about all sorts of products, processes and topics.
After learning how Bard differs from Google Search and other chatbots, follow four tips for getting the most out of Bard. Note: Most users can benefit from these tips, though the examples are focused on IT folks.

How does Bard differ from Google search?
The Bard chat experience works differently than Google search. While a Google search query relies on a single set of keywords, Bard accepts prompts in natural language: You enter a sentence or full paragraph to convey what you want. And, while google.com treats every search as a single, one-time query, bard.google.com allows you to delve successively deeper with added prompts that refer to and expand on prior responses.

How does Google Bard differ from similar chatbots?
Google Bard is internet connected unlike many chatbots that can only respond with historical content gathered through 2021. Ask Google Bard about current events, weather or sports, and the system should provide an accurate response.

But where a search engine delivers either an answer or a list of links, Google Bard might be considered an exploration engine you use to move a few steps beyond the results of a simple search.

While this sort of system can support many types of tasks, IT leaders might find Google Bard especially useful to help identify solutions, suggest sequences (e.g., "Can you provide a 4-step process to improve security?") and draft text. Bard can generate each of these as well as create suggested communications and presentation outlines.
How to experiment with Google Bard

To experiment with Bard, you need to go to bard.google.com and join a waitlist with an individual Google account. As of May 2023, access to Bard remains available only to individual accounts, not organizational Google Workspace accounts.

After Google grants you access, you may chat with Bard while signed in to your Google account in a browser at bard.google.com.

Tech Update: ChatGPT Cheat Sheet: Complete Guide for 2023 #iphone15repair #iphone15Ultra #iPadPro #Galaxyrepair

ChatGPT Cheat Sheet: Complete Guide for 2023
Get up and running with ChatGPT with this comprehensive cheat sheet. Learn everything from how to sign up for free to enterprise use cases, and start using ChatGPT quickly and effectively.

ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, according to a UBS report, making it the fastest-growing consumer app in history. The business world is interested in ChatGPT too, trying to find uses for the writing AI throughout many different industries. This cheat sheet includes answers to the most common questions about ChatGPT and its competitors.

What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot product developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT is built on the structure of GPT-4. GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer; this indicates it is a large language model that checks for the probability of what words might come next in sequence. A large language model is a deep learning algorithm — a type of transformer model in which a neural network learns context about any language pattern. That might be a spoken language or a computer programming language.

The model doesn't "know" what it's saying, but it does know what symbols (words) are likely to come after one another based on the data set it was trained on. The current generation of artificial intelligence chatbots, such as ChatGPT, its Google rival Bard and others, don't really make intelligently informed decisions; instead, they're the internet's parrots, repeating words that are likely to be found next to one another in the course of natural speech. The underlying math is all about probability. The companies that make and use them pitch them as productivity genies, creating text in a matter of seconds that would take a person hours or days to produce.

In ChatGPT's case, that data set is a large portion of the internet. From there, humans give feedback on the AI's output to confirm whether the words it uses sound natural.


In August 2023 OpenAI launched a GPTBot, a web crawler meant to expand ChatGPT's knowledge. Technical details and ways to keep GPTBot from crawling a website you run can both be found here.

Several organizations have built this ability to answer questions into some of their software features too. Microsoft, which provides funding for OpenAI, rolled out ChatGPT in Bing search as a preview. Salesforce has added ChatGPT to some of its CRM platforms in the form of the Einstein digital assistant.
Who made ChatGPT?

ChatGPT was built by OpenAI, a research laboratory with both nonprofit and for-profit branches. At the time of its founding in 2015, OpenAI received funding from Amazon Web Services, InfoSys and YC Research and investors including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Musk has since cut ties with the company, while Microsoft currently provides $10 billion in funding for OpenAI.
How much does ChatGPT cost?

The base version of ChatGPT can strike up a conversation with you for free. For $20 per month, ChatGPT Plus gives subscribers priority access in individual instances, faster response times and the chance to use new features and improvements first. For example, right now ChatGPT Plus subscribers will be running GPT-4, while anyone on the free tier will talk to GPT-3.5.

For developers and organizations who don't already have a specific contract with OpenAI, there is a waitlist for access to the ChatGPT API.

In August, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Enterprise, a subscription plan for business with more security enhancements and admin controls compared to the basic version. Organizations interested in pricing for ChatGPT Enterprise can contact OpenAI's sales team.
How to use ChatGPT

It's easy to use the free version of ChatGPT. You need to sign up for an account with OpenAI, which involves fetching a confirmation code from your email; from there, click through and provide your name and phone number. OpenAI will warn you that the free version of ChatGPT is "a free research preview." For the Plus version, you'll see an "upgrade to Plus" button on the left side of the home page.

For businesses, ChatGPT can also write and debug code, as well as create reports, presentations, emails and websites. In general, ChatGPT can draft the kind of prose you'd likely use for work ("Write an email accepting an invitation to speak at a cybersecurity conference."). ChatGPT can answer questions ("What are similar books to [xyz]?") as well. Microsoft showed off these features in its announcement that OpenAI is coming to Word and some other parts of the 365 business suite.

ChatGPT has historically not 'remembered' information from one conversation to another. However, starting on July 20, ChatGPT Plus members can use a feature called custom instructions, which is currently in beta, to make sure the AI remembers certain things about them. For example, it can remember a specific user tends to want content for a business audience, or, conversely, for third graders. Custom instructions will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks, OpenAI said. It is not, however, available in the UK and EU.
ChatGPT app for iOS

On May 18, 2023, OpenAI announced the launch of the free ChatGPT app for iOS. The company stated the app syncs your history across devices, and that it integrates with its open-source speech-recognition system Whisper. On the iOS app, OpenAI said ChatGPT Plus subscribers get exclusive access to GPT-4's capabilities, early access to features and faster response times.

OpenAI started this rollout in the U.S. As of May 24 it expanded to 11 more countries — Albania, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, Korea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, and the UK, with more expected to follow.
ChatGPT app for Android

ChatGPT for Android dropped on July 25, 2023 for users in the US, India, Bangladesh, and Brazil. Android users in those countries can download the app through the Google Play Store now. Additional countries will gain access over the next week, OpenAI said.
Browse with Bing

ChatGPT Plus subscribers had access to Browse with Bing, a feature in beta which enables ChatGPT to answer questions using recent information pulled from the Bing search engine.

Browse with Bing was disabled on July 3, 2023 out of "an abundance of caution," OpenAI wrote.

"We have learned that the ChatGPT Browse beta can occasionally display content in ways we don't want," said OpenAI scaling support lead Michael Schade in a help page. "For example, if a user specifically asks for a URL's full text, it might inadvertently fulfill this request."

OpenAI is working on re-establishing this feature, but has not announced a firm timeline for when it might be available again.
ChatGPT updates and OpenAI API news

OpenAI continues to update ChatGPT and its other services with developer-focused changes.
OpenAI's bug bounty program

OpenAI started a bug bounty program on April 12, offering between $200 and $20,000 to ethical hackers who find vulnerabilities in the code. More critical vulnerabilities net larger bounties.

OpenAI isn't looking for solutions to problems with ChatGPT's content (e.g., the known "hallucinations"); instead, the organization wants hackers to report authentication issues, data exposure, payments issues, security issues with the plugin creation system and more. Details about the bug bounty program can be found on Bugcrowd.
Web browsing and plugins

GPTPlus users gained access to a beta version of web browsing and Plugins on the week of May 12. The beta includes web browsing mode, in which ChatGPT will sometimes access the internet to pull in information about current events.

Secondly, the beta version of ChatGPT will call on third-party plugins at the appropriate times if the user enables them. Third-party plugins can be accessed in the Plugin Store under Plugins in the model switcher. This opens ChatGPT up to more than 70 third-party plugins.
June 2023 API and pricing updates

On June 13, OpenAI added function calling to the Chat Completions API; reduced the price of their embeddings model (which helps the model interpret tokens); and reduced the price of input tokens for GPT-3.5 -turbo, one of the subscription models for the GPT 3.5 model.

With function calling, developers can describe functions to GPT-4 or GPT-3.5 turbo and the AI will return a JSON object which can call those functions. This could be used to create chatbot tools that call external plugins, convert natural language into database queries or API calls, or extract structured data from text.


Other announcements from OpenAI's June 13 blog post include:
        updated and more steerable versions of GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo
        new 16K context version of GPT-3.5-turbo (compared to the standard 4Kversion)
        Applications using GPT-3.5-turbo, GPT-4, and GPT-4-32K will automatically be upgraded to new models on June 27th.

Code interpreter
On July 6, OpenAI made ChatGPT's code interpreter function available to all ChatGPT Plus users. The Code interpreter is an in-house plug-in with which ChatGPT can run code to analyze data, solve math problems, create charts, edit files, and similar tasks. It functions using a Python interpreter in a sandboxed, firewalled execution environment in a persistent session the length of the chat conversation, OpenAI said in their blog post.

Code interpreter is available in beta by taking the following steps in a ChatGPT Plus account:
    Click on your name
    Select beta features from your settings
    Toggle on the beta features you'd like to try.
