Google Search Will Soon Have Generative AI Features
Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed his company would integrate large language models or LLMs into Google Search. In other words, the online search engine will have generative AI functions like ChatGPT and Bing. As a result, Google Search AI may change how we look for information online.
Pichai shared this long-term goal in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. However, he did not specify when Google Search will implement the new AI features. Also, he has yet to explain how the upcoming AI capabilities will work.
He told WSJ the company is testing the ability to ask questions after an initial search query. The news comes weeks after the launch of Google Bard, which does not interact with the Search page. Bard is still in its testing phase at the time of writing, and users must register for a waitlist to try it.

We will need to wait for the release of Google Search AI to see its features. Fortunately, Mashable says it might work like Microsoft’s Bing AI.
That means discussing the features of Bing AI will give us an idea of how Google Search AI might work. Bing AI is Microsoft’s AI chatbot that rivals ChatGPT.
Like ChatGPT, it can answer questions as if it were human. Also, it can create various texts, such as essays, scientific papers, and jokes.

Its Conversation Style options are Creative, Balanced, and Precise. They change how Bing AI writes its responses.
As the name suggests, Creative makes Bing Ai use more colorful language in its answers. Consequently, it will generate longer, more imaginative responses.

On the other hand, Precise triggers the Microsoft chatbot to share precise details. As a result, it provides shorter and more factual answers.
Like its namesake, the Balanced option offers a balance between Creative and Precise settings. Also, the Bing AI chatbot works like a personal assistant.
It can translate foreign text, helping you visit other countries. Also, thanks to its mobile app, you can quickly ask questions to the chatbot.
Applying a similar feature to Google Search AI will fine-tune its results depending on the user’s needs. For example, it might suggest scientific sources if you’re researching for homework.
Bing AI’s latest feature is the Image Creator, a text-to-image generator like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E. Applying this feature to Google Search AI might facilitate looking for photos online. Note that Google Search AI may not have all the features of Bing AI.
