Can someone in the know explain how Bard could be as bad as it is, considering Google has been investing in AI for as long as they have? I thought they were earlier than most to begin serious work on AI? How could Bard suck this bad?
For creative writing, I prefer Bard over the other ones for a few reasons. First off, it’s free with any Gmail account and secondly it has draft (3) that I can compare. It may not seem like much but I have a creative workflow and like it much more than Bing AI. I’ve been trying to use GitHub copilot and it is a lot less reasonable to use for technical work. But throwing an idea at Bard is kind of fun once you get in to promoting
Bard:<p>> simply type the name of the product that you want to access after the "@gmail" prompt. For example, to access Google Docs, you would type "@gmail docs".<p>Me<p>> @gmail docs<p>Bard<p>> Unfortunately, Bard Extensions is still under development and currently doesn't support full integration with Google Docs through Gmail.
I've tried using it for generating articles based on provided fact sheet, and it somehow managed to invent a bunch of facts while referencing the fact sheet, without directly mentioning anything in the fact sheet. This is just so bad compared to OpenAI 4 or even 3.5.<p>How is that possible given that some of the smartest people work for Google?
Not bad. It’s limited in what it can do but I would probably check Bard if ChatGPT went down.<p>I have the “AI search” extension enabled in Google search as well and it’s pretty unreliable. Seems like half of my coding questions it hallucinated some function that doesn’t exist.<p>But if Google release Bard in its current state a year ago most people probably would be using it now, even if it’s inferior.
I'm impressed. I asked it "How much is a flight from San Francisco to the rapid & blitz tournament over Christmas?" and it figured out which tournament I was talking about and showed me ticket prices.<p><a href="https://g.co/bard/share/7966410c42af" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://g.co/bard/share/7966410c42af</a><p>ChatGPT also figured it out, but Bard is much better at displaying information: <a href="https://chat.openai.com/share/ba5d5acc-7b40-46e1-ada5-74b4a6ab2241" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://chat.openai.com/share/ba5d5acc-7b40-46e1-ada5-74b4a6...</a>
Surprised to see this here, was just reading about it on the bard page a few minutes ago since I been killing time waiting for chatGPT to come back up for Plus Users. I think it would be really cool if we could get a Bard extension for Google Colab, maybe some integration with the Colab Pro would be really interesting analogous to the Data Analysis Plugin
Just checked out Bard for the first time because of the OpenAI outage. It sucks. It feels worse than GPT-3.5 with worse reasoning and instruction following. This is embarrassing for Google.<p>EDIT: Just to be clear: I want it to be good. It's unfortunate that it's underwhelming.
Bard is utter junk. I used to proclaim to everyone how it had its place as an equal tool in my daily AI tool chest specifically for web browsing. When they updated it and said I could access YouTube transcriptions etc it never really could and still can't. It hallucinates far more than any other llm premium model like Claude or Perplexity. Thus far they better get their s** together for Gemini or they're toast and this is coming from somebody who uses AI llms all day long for half a year
Okay so after 8 months, after being released in 48 languages and 238 countries, for some reason, Bard still isn't available in Canada?<p>This has to be a joke.
