A variety of programming and software development jobs, including code generation, code debugging, and code explanation, can now be completed by the Google Bard AI chatbot.
Bard lacked this crucial function, making it impossible for it to compete with ChatGPT, the most well-known AI chatbot at the moment.
The update for Bard was published by Google on Friday on its blog, citing it as one of the top user requests since the AI chatbot’s March introduction. More than 20 distinct programming languages, including C++, Go, Java, Javascript, Python, and Typescript, can be generated, debugged, and explained with the help of Bard. It can also help with building functions for Google Sheets and exporting Python code to Google Colab without the need for copy-and-paste.
A particularly useful feature of the Bard update, according to Google, is its ability to explain the bits of code that should be used. This feature may be useful for those who are new to programming or if someone is having trouble with a particularly challenging piece of code.
If you encounter a problem when debugging Bard, all you need to do is type this code that didn’t work, please fix it, and the chatbot will help you fix the flawed code. Google mentioned that Bard can even debug its own programming.
Google warns that Bard may produce information that is unreliable, incorrect, or misleading as it is currently an early experiment. Before using the chatbot for any independent work, it advises users to double-check its responses and test for flaws, defects, and vulnerabilities. However, the company is hopeful that Bard’s new coding abilities will help users with their own projects.
Other advice, according to Google, includes the request to make the code speedier. Finding error-handling clauses that you may have overlooked is another simple prompt to employ.
In order to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which also powers Microsoft’s Bing chat, Google released Bard, a chatbot. Despite the fact that Bard performs features that are comparable to those of ChatGPT, a Bloomberg story claims that some Google employees lack confidence in the chatbot and believe it was rushed to market in order to compete with OpenAI and Microsoft.
Notably, some of the many fascinating activities users displayed on ChatGPT when the chatbot first gained popularity were code debugging and code development. The technology does, however, provide certain unique difficulties, such as heavy traffic and capacity constraints. In order to maintain its operations, OpenAI also faces financial difficulties.
With Google’s most recent Bard update, there may be a chance for the company to capitalize on the constantly shifting market and attract consumers interested in a particular market for generative AI products.
