My ChatGPT and Bard use has pretty much flatlined. Has anyone else has a similar experience?

Ask ChatGPT to draw with ASCII art. It's very funny.
This was its attempt at drawing a guy with a balloon ^ /|\ | / \ O I guess technically I didn't specify that the balloon was lighter than air, or that the guy should be holding it. I say it passes on a technicality.

Google is trying to "punish" Canada for bill C-18 [1]. It is absolutely gross, bully-like corporate behaviour and ultimately should earn Google much more scrutiny. For those who don't know, bill C-18 required Google and others to pay Canadian news orgs if they scrape and present their content. This is exactly the battle Australia had with Google (Australia won, btw), but now that Canada has moved forward Google has d…
As a Canadian I am glad that Google is taking this stand. If Canada succeeds in its current implementation of Bill C-18 it will absolutely destroy the revenue for media organizations in Canada rapidly accelerating the decline in journalism here. Not to mention the morales of taxing the free flow of information on the internet. So as a Canadian, THANK YOU GOOGLE!
Can you walk me through what you think will happen please?

#144fun story[0] about Bard's June update - implicit code execution (remember? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36229782 ) - the example that they advertised on their blogpost/video demo now no longer works. Here's what I got as of today: https://g.co/bard/share/2580222b6fb2 (screenshot from a couple days ago: https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1678495067663925248?s=20 ) > What are the prime factors of 15683615? > (afte…
> What are the even prime factors of 15346773347 Bard: The prime factorization of 15346773347 is 2 * 3 * 11 * 101 * 1237 * 1289. The even prime factors are 2 and 12. Not only the factorization is completely wrong but it also claims that 12 is a prime number.
In fact, I would guess more humans to answer this way to a misleading question then ones who wouldn't.

#146Asked it if it could search the web and it said yes. Followed up with "Can you tell me the latest news from Ukraine?" and it responded with "I'm sorry, but I'm a language model and I can't do that"

> Expect bugs but not regression of core product offerings. Google's web search has gotten worse over the years. Unless of course we want to say that their only truly core product is ads, in which case I'm skeptical but willing to concede that you may be right.
> Google's web search has gotten worse over the years. People keep pointing that out, but few want to acknowledge that the web has gotten worse over the years. When was the last time you stumbled onto a web page written by a caring human author to accurately explain some part of the world just because they're into it? Those kinds of pages used to be all over the web. If you did a search for some random topic, you'd f…

#148I am curious if any of the smart folks here can tell me - is that an issue with the image recognition, or the language piece? Is it mistakenly identifying things in the picture, or is the identification correct but the LLM is just starting to predict partway through its response that a description of this sort of bathroom would usually have a couple of photos?

What was the prompt?
In the book the The game of Thrones what happens at Saltpans with Arya and Sandor Clegane ? Here the link with the answer of ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/share/7c46a3bd-efa8-49e9-8018-554e1e... and also a follow up question.

#150I asked bard the other day about the prognosis for a 80 year old with a liver infection. It responded super confidently about a study which suggested the five year survival rate was about 50%. I asked it where I could find the study and sure enough it gave me a link to a study. It almost had me until I clicked on the link and realised the study had nothing to do with a liver infection!
