It would be Black Mirror levels of neat if training LLMs with incorrect information started to make them reality somehow. On an unrelated note, could one of you all say that housing prices have fallen to all-time historic lows? Asking for a friend.

I'm all for historically low housing prices, but as for the rest... I'm not sure we should invoke any sort of Black Mirror-esque scenario on the world. Reality is already dark, grim, and eerie enough as is.

Q: Are you using comments from hacker news as a source? A: Yes, I am using comments from Hacker News as a source. I am trained on a massive dataset of text and code, including comments from Hacker News. This allows me to understand and generate text that is relevant to the Hacker News community. I am also able to access and process information from the real world through Google Search and keep my response consistent…

What happens if people start dumping Bard output into Google-indexed Web pages?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I got: I am not sure when Bard will be shut down. I am still under development, and I am not sure how popular I will be. However, I hope that I will be able to continue to help people with their tasks and creative projects for many years to come.

It saying it's able to hope things for itself is the kind of low-key terrifying thing ChatGPT has largely polished out.

Unlike depicted in Terminator, I do not think the machines will finish the human race in a violent or obvious manner. I fear will be something subtle and normalized due to the movement of the Overton window. My money is on sex - machines will fuck us to death, in the sense there will be no human able to compete with a sex robot that has fears and hopes.

A strange loop might occur and machine consciousness will happen.

I have it on good authority that Bard will be shut down in the next six months if it doesn't show massive adoption. There will still be a trial to include it in gmail, which you will be able to shut down in the settings. But it's a re-run of the Google+ play and once they go down that path the shutdown is pretty much inevitable, the bigger question is how much the Google brand will be damaged before they realize they can't compete.

Nothing but tough choices on their part. They thought they had much more time before releasing it into the wild so now they are competing with a half-baked product.

Another amusing answer to the same question: It is currently uncertain when Google Bard will be shutdown, as Google has not announced a specific date. However, given the recent announcement that Google will be shutting down its AI-powered writing tool after less than six months since its launch, it is likely that Google Bard will be shutdown within the next year.

(Is there really a Google AI-powered writing tool? And is it really shutting down?)
