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?
Not bad. It’s limited in what it can do but I would probably check Bard if ChatGPT went down. 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. 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've actually seen AI search and ChatGPT 4 hallucinate identical fake command line parameters to a program.
It was ... rather sus.
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…
Have you tried using Claude for creative writing? I find its creativity to be quite far ahead of GPT-4. You can try it for free on claude.ai, although it needs a phone number and isn't available in all countries (but that can be solved with a VPN, even if the phone number is from a different country).
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. EDIT: Just to be clear: I want it to be good. It's unfortunate that it's underwhelming.
Hey I work on that! I can only share information that's already public unfortunately, which isn't much beyond what's on that page...
Anybody know till when that’s likely to last?
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. https://g.co/bard/share/7966410c42af ChatGPT also figured it out, but Bard is much better at displaying information: https://chat.openai.com/share/ba5d5acc-7b40-46e1-ada5-74b4a6...

Are you sure you are using the latest version of ChatGPT ? It could have been an outdated version (3.5) from one year ago (based on the green logo).
Yes, I'm using 3.5, but that's the free version, and I don't need AI often enough to want to pay $20 for version 4.

I think most large companies have the same problem and the only solution is to literally test different teams with how they handle specific case studies. It would require alot of careful planning and studying but it would be the only way to resolve such problems. An alternative would be to have an anonymous feedback that is constantly pushed onto customers and constantly checked and mined for insight. if was a major company I would hire myself or someone who had my experiences to do this. But I’m already retired/funemployed lol. Sorry for the rant.

They are worse than GPT-4 because nobody other than OpenAI (and their free Azure credits) have been willing to throw $100 million in training a single LLM.
