Introduction to Google Bard#
Google Bard is an AI chatbot based on the LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) technology. In addition to providing simple question queries like the Google search engine, it can provide more comprehensive and high-quality answers for "complex questions". Bard can be used to plan a friend's baby shower, research a new topic, or just find a good joke.
Bard integrates with the Google search engine to organize multiple different answers to the same question into an "easy-to-understand" format. In other words, AI technology can provide comprehensive understanding and insights for a question that "does not have a correct answer", helping users to quickly and accurately find and understand the answers or directions to their questions during the search.

Connect VPN to the United States & United Kingdom#
Currently, Google Bard is only available for public testing in the United States and the United Kingdom. Therefore, for those of us in other regions, we need to use a VPN to bypass the restrictions.
I won't recommend a VPN brand here (they didn't pay me), although I'm currently using SurfShark.

After opening the website, the first step is to log in to your Google account, then click Join waitlist, and remember to agree to the EULA.
