Yeah Google Bard seems to make up stuff way more than chatgpt and gives just wrong code. I asked for numpy code to fit a polyline rejecting outliers and it just made up an argument "robust" for polyfit. Chatgpt on the other hand generated a function that calculated standard deviation and removed points outside two sigma.

Google Bard shamelessly tells my World War II stories[1]. Bing Chat refuses to answer such a question or says “no information” depending on its creativity level.

Sorry, I’m sure this was annoying at the time, but making up that argument is hilarious in retrospect, no?

Is this because of the accuracy of the results, or is it the rights to the content that is the problem?

Barring any AI court case setting a precedent, We're still at 'AI generated works are public domain' aren't we?

There's probably going to be some big money arguing for the right to own content generated by their AI. I can't really see that being in the public interest though.

Although that's garbage for factual tasks, the creative writing behavior is a perfect fit for fleshing out dnd characters for example. On the other hand, Google is a search/ad company... I'd think they'd be the most interested in integrating search/facts into an llm. Hallucinating details about your customers is a good way to cause problems (some lawsuits already filed).

> We're still at

I didn't hear we were ever there?
