When I enter into the AI, Firefox blocks an insane amount of popups. The counter for blocked pop ups quickly reaches >100 where it stops counting. What is it trying to do?

It might just be trying the same pop up over and over again each time it's blocked

I can only access https://makersuite.google.com/ when using a VPN to the US. Also, it spams popups that get blocked by Firefox.

Some basic prompts, which are answered correctly most of the time by ChatGPT4:

There are 31 books in my house. I read 2 books over the weekend. How many books are still in my house?

> 29 books

Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?

> Three

If you place an orange below a plate in the living room, and then move the plate to the kitchen, where is the orange now?

> Under the plate in the kitchen.

So, not great.

Typical Google UX.

Get API key, takes me to makersuite, where I get a create API key button that errors. Then when I reload the page, I get a straight forbidden page.

HP said it best, you have to isolate the team from the bigger company to allow them to work as an effective startup. How can solo-preneurs provide better UX & onboarding while doing 16 other jobs than Google can with multi-billion dollar budgets?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As of now Bard is powered by Gemini Pro. https://bard.google.com/updates

Okay, from my end, I am still seeing Palm (EU).

Same here, Google's offering is very weird though, a simple question to Bard about what it's using also outputs the wrong result. https://imgur.com/Vb1STQe
