Google has recently announced that it will be unveiling its new AI, Sparrow, which is being dubbed as a “ChatGPT killer.” Even though ChatGPT is still in beta, it has a good amount of users, Google already declared code red as ChatGPT is impacting the search giant’s business model.
Sparrow is a dialogue agent that offers valuable assistance while minimizing the potential for unsafe or inappropriate responses.

Sparrow pushes the boundaries of how we can educate agents to be safer and more beneficial, leading to the development of safer and more practical Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
CEO of Google’s DeepMind @demishassabis hinted today at a 2023 private beta release of “Sparrow” (DeepMind’s version of ChatGPT) that will be capable of citing sources for its responses.

We can see that sparrow refuses to answer the potentially harmful questions.
Sparrow has been designed to provide plausible and evidence-supported answers to factual questions. According to the test results, Sparrow achieved a 78% success rate in providing plausible answers with evidence. However, it is not perfect and may sometimes provide mistaken or off-topic answers. The model is still in development and more improvement is expected.

In comparison, ChatGPT is a large-scale language model that uses deep learning to generate human-like text. It has been trained on a diverse set of internet text and it is capable of performing a wide range of natural language tasks, such as language translation, question answering, and text summarization.
It is important to note that Sparrow is not a replacement for ChatGPT, but rather an advancement in the field of natural language processing. Both models have their own strengths and weaknesses and can be used for different purposes.
