🤖 Google's Bard Bot: The AI You Didn't Know You Needed in Your Inbox
In the race of AI, Google strikes a chord with its latest Bard bot, integrating it with applications you probably use daily. It's a chat, it's a bot, it's... well, let's dive in!
Quick Scoop 🍦:
Bard Extensions: Google now brings "Bard Extensions" into its app-verse like Gmail and Docs. So next time you're on Docs, don't be surprised to find Bard chilling there! 📄🤝
One-Stop-Chat📍: Planning a trip? No need to juggle between apps. Bard will check Gmail for free dates, fetch flight and hotel deets, guide you to the airport on Maps, and even pop up YouTube videos about your destination. Travel agent, who? ✈️🧳
Share the Chat: Bard loves a group chat! Share a link, and multiple friends can jump into the convo. 🔄👥
“Google it” Button: Doubting Thomas? Use the "Google it" button to fact-check Bard. It'll show you if other sources back its responses. 🔍✅
Did Ya Know? 🤔: Almost 200 million folks checked out Bard in August on desktop and mobile, says Similarweb. OpenAI’s ChatGPT? Yep, same number. It's a head-to-head battle!
Behind the Scenes 🎬:
Competing Titans: Bard Extensions is Google's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT plugins. The tech behemoth launched Bard after the buzz created by OpenAI's ChatGPT, backed by none other than... Microsoft, Google's tech arch-nemesis!
Expanding Horizons: Post its March debut, Bard popped up on Google search in May. The aim? More of Bard, everywhere. 🌍📱
Trust Issues?: AI can be goofy at times, maybe even hallucinating. But Google assures Bard will learn, admit mistakes, and evolve.🔄🧠
In The Words of The Wise: Jack Krawczyk from Google says they're on a mission to make Bard the most reliable chat buddy, "by not only showing the confidence of our response, but admitting when we make a mistake."
Stay tuned, this AI saga is just getting juicier! 🍊💥

Research Rundown🧬
DeepMind's DNA Decoder🧬💡
Ever found a typo in your favorite novel? Google DeepMind's latest AI offering is kinda like a spellcheck, but for DNA. Dive into how this AI program might be making some groundbreaking waves in the world of genetics.
Key Tidbits 🍪:
Missense Mutations: Imagine misspelling a single letter in DNA. That's what we call missense mutations. While most are harmless, some can cause diseases like cystic fibrosis or even cancer. 🅰️➡️🅱️🤷
AI to the Rescue: AlphaMissense, the name of our DNA hero, has evaluated a whopping 71 million single-letter mutations. With 90% precision, it could classify 57% as harmless and 32% as harmful. As for the rest? Well, no one's perfect! 🎯💻
Everyone's Unique: A typical human has around 9,000 missense mutations. Out of 4 million seen in humans, only 2% have been labeled. Current prediction tools help, but they're kinda like weather forecasts – occasionally off-target. ☁️🌦
Better and Faster: AlphaMissense outperforms its peers, aiding experts in quickly spotting disease-causing mutations. It might even reveal mutations previously unconnected to specific disorders. 🚀🔍
Deep Learning, Literally: This AI is adapted from DeepMind's AlphaFold, which predicts how human proteins look in 3D. AlphaMissense learned from DNA data and understood the "language" of proteins. Basically, it's multilingual... in a biological sense! 🗣🔬
Analogy Alert: Cheng likens it to language. If you change a word in an English sentence, someone fluent can tell if the meaning shifted. Similarly, AlphaMissense detects DNA "typos" that might change our body's story. 📖🔄
Closing Notes 🎶: While experts are buzzing about AlphaMissense's potential, there's a slice of caution. Prof Ben Lehner points out that the DeepMind model is, well, deep. So complex, in fact, that it's like trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. Can doctors trust decisions they can't comprehend or explain? As Lehner puts it, knowing what's broken is step one. The grand finale? Figuring out how it broke and patching it up. The DNA drama continues!
