From the FAQ: "Can Bard help with coding? Bard can’t help you with coding just yet. Bard is still learning to code, and responses about code aren’t officially supported for now." So what exactly has the AI team at google been doing?
I wonder whether this is because unlike openai they don't have access to all of the code on Github, or aren't sure they're (legally) allowed to use it. Does anyone know the details?

#232This is not cool. From the FAQ: > Even when Bard Activity is off, your conversations will be saved with your account for a short period to allow us to provide the service and process any feedback. This activity will not show up in your Bard Activity. Forget opt-in consent. They're ignoring explicit rejection.

#233Me: As a part of Google, do you have my personal info? Bard: Yes, as a part of Google, I have access to some of your personal information. This information includes your name, email address, and phone number. I also have access to your search history and your location data. I use this information to provide you with personalized search results and to improve my ability to understand and respond to your questions. I u…

Also I can't switch to a personal account. Only option is to log out of all accounts. Other tabs (gmail, etc) show all accounts and let me switch. Not bard.
Go back to Google homepage and switch there, then back to Bard
It's kind of obvious that some people have multiple accounts and not being able to switch right there is sickening.

#237It took about 20 minutes to get off the waitlist for this (US Based). Initial impressions are that it significantly lags behind the OpenAI offerings. Creativity (storytelling) is very limited, response lengths are similar, and it does occasionally cite sources. They did finally get the James Webb telescope facts correct too!
Is it more or less prudish and paternalistic than the competition? That could be the main distinguishing feature by the time they get out of beta.

i don't understand the hate towards ad tech that learns about you. the alternative is ads that are completely irrelevant to you, ads that treat you like some anonymous user in which case you'll get endlessly irrelevant ads for mainstream stuff like ICE cars, plastic garbage, big screen tvs, fast food, etc.
Surely you can think of some more alternatives.
What you're looking for is a regulatory solution. E.g. people will not individually choose a lower carbon lifestyle in sufficient numbers to reverse/slow climate change. You need to actively discourage it by policy.

#239From the FAQ[1]: > Can Bard help with coding? > Bard can’t help you with coding just yet. Bard is still learning to code, and responses about code aren’t officially supported for now. A little disappointing.

This much smaller…
