Google has updated its AI chatbot called Bard to help people with programming and software development tasks including code generation, code debugging and explanation. The company is launching these capabilities in more than 20 programming languages, including C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python and TypeScript.
“You can easily export Python code to Google Colab – no copy and paste required. Bard can also assist with Google Sheets writing tasks,” said the tech giant. In addition to generating code, Bard lets people Code snippets can also help with explaining, especially those who are learning about programming for the first time.
If Bard gives you an error message or code that doesn’t serve your intended purpose, just tell Bard “This code doesn’t work, please fix it,” and Bard can help you debug, the company said. Bard is still an early experiment, and may sometimes provide inaccurate, misleading or inaccurate information while presenting it confidently, Google acknowledged.
However, when it comes to coding, Bard may give you working code that does not produce the expected output, or provide you with code that is not optimal or incomplete. “Always double-check Bard’s responses and carefully test and review the code for errors, bugs and vulnerabilities,” the company explained.
Google Bard’s new capabilities come days after OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4 announcement. The paid version of ChatGPT is helping people to code and build software. One of the best examples is an entrepreneur who, despite not knowing how to program, built a Chrome extension with the help of ChatGPT and managed to sell it for $1,000 within a week.
Bard is already helping people with everyday tasks, from preparing presentations and writing lesson plans to inventing new recipes or planning exercise routines. Intrigued by the success of Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai have formed an entity that will help the company build more capable AI systems that are safe and responsible.
Called ‘Google DeepMind’, the group will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: Google Research’s Brain team and DeepMind.
