#102For something claiming to "supercharge your imagination", it sure has a lame name.

#103Overall very underwhelming... not even really a compelling landing page. Can't write code, can't understand any language besides english. If this is really the best they've got after months of 'code red' to catch up, they really seem to be in trouble.
Hmm. This is not correct. Bard can write code.
In the FAQ[1] it explicitly states that it cannot help you code. Maybe that's a limit of the prompt or just a limit of Google using a smaller/cheaper model? We'll have to test it out to see.

#104Anyone else worried that accidentally causing the bot to say something "unsafe" will result in a zero recourse google account ban?

#105It 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!

#106Somehow I have the idea that the general sentiment is that people hope Google fails with Bard. Or at least does something stupid. Is it just me? (Not saying it is a good thing)
Can’t speak for anyone else, but I hope for the entire companies demise, as I do for any ad tech surveillance operation.

#107I'm curious for those who have actually tried it, what they think of the performance. A lot of the threads here are just talking about the country-limited rollout.

#108How long will this be in Beta for? 10 years?

#109Earlier quoted context omitted.
More exciting software projects get started on 4chan than Hacker News.
Most people around here have a job.
Or want to have/generate one.
What I mean is, HN is a place where people keep good ideas to themselves in the hopes of launching a business on its back. It's a hustling/entepreneurship community, not a "let's build stuff" one, like, say, the Open Source communities. Collaboration has an opportunity cost around these parts.

I think people are tired of Google and want something else.
