Google Bard AI Early Access for Pixel Superfans
As per a report by 9to5 Google, the renowned tech giant introduced Bard AI last February amid the growing popularity of ChatGPT and the Bing chatbot. However, Google kept mum on the release of its AI chatbot.
But this time, its much-awaited debut is likely to occur soon.
Pixel Superfans are now reportedly getting their hands on invitations that give early access to Bard, giving them a chance to try the AI chatbot under the Trusted Tester program.
The email introduces the AI chatbot of Google, simply known as Bard.
It reads: "Meet Bard, an early experiment by Google that lets you collaborate with generative AI. We'd like to offer you - a member of our Pixel Superfan community - early access so you can get started as soon as Bard launches, and share your feedback."
Google further explains that it "can't wait to hear how people start using Bard." But despite that, the tech giant notes that "large language models will not always get it right." So with that, "input from a wide range of experts and users will help Bard improve."
Pixel Superfans Still Have to Wait
However, it is worth noting that Pixel Superfans will still have to wait before they can access the new Bard AI.

The invitation also clearly states that Google "will follow up with further instructions" after completing the form.
