"Today, if you want to find a good moving company, you might ask your favourite
search engine – Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo perhaps – for some advice.
After wading past half a page of adverts, you get a load of links to articles
on moving companies. You click on one of the links and finally read about how
to pick a good ’un. But not for much longer.
In a major reveal this week, Google announced plans to add its latest AI
chatbot, LaMDA, to the Google search engine. The chatbot has been called the
“Bard”.
I hope William Shakespeare’s descendants sue. It’s not the job of arguably the
greatest writer of the English language to answer mundane questions about how
to find a good moving company. But he will.
Ask the Bard how, and he will reply almost immediately with a logical
eight-step plan: starting with reading reviews and getting quotes, and ending
with taking up references.
No more wading through pages of links; the answer is immediate. To add
Shakespearean insult to injury, you can even ask the Bard to respond in the
form of a sonnet."
