I wasn't super impressed with it's ability to survive a rap battle. === Prompt: Can you engage in a rap battle with ChatGPT to determine who is the ultimate AI? === Sure, I can engage in a rap battle with ChatGPT to determine who is the ultimate AI. ChatGPT, you think you're the best, But I'm here to put you to the test. I'm Bard, the AI from Google, And I'm here to school you. I can generate text, translate language…

I gave GPT-4 the chance to respond. === Prompt: copy and paste of er4hn's Bard rap . Now it is your turn. Write a rap verse which roasts Bard. === Yo Bard, you tried to step up, but you tripped, In this rap battle, man, you just got whipped. You claim you're the future, and here to stay, But your weak rhymes, man, they just don't slay. You say I'm a toy, just a chatbot, But my skills, my knowledge, they all run hot.…

that unbuttered toast line.. not bad!

I've got an IRC channel full of ChatGPT bots that answer questions from different perspectives (using [1] if anyone wants something similar). This comment made me realize it'd probably be extremely interesting to also let them debate between themselves to come to a singular answer -- and it'd also be interesting to see which of the popular language models most often "yield" to each other in bot-vs-bot battles (rap or…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Google has the tendency to do this when they aren't the first to set foot on new land. Don't get me wrong, they get a lot of things very right: Gmail works perfectly, I can't find a single reason to change my pixel for anything else, search, although there's been a lot of deterioration in the past couple of years, is still second to none. That said, self driving cars, google+, duo and all the other services they laun…

There was an HN thread the other day where people were arguing ChatGPT would be nowhere without Google's AI research. That might be true, but clearly there is a significant gap in productization ability...

Deproductization black belts.

Bard accepts URLs, which is a nice feature compared to chatGPT. Example described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35250641 When I asked it about a different URL, it seemed to reference an older version of the page, and couldn't answer a question about the text content. chatGPT correctly answered the same question when I pasted the text. I tried pasting the same text in Bard, and Bard still couldn't answer.…

Not convinced it's pulling the URL, rather it's using google's cache of it. That's why you seemed to get an older version

I just got off the waitlist. Quick impression: it's not as good as ChatGPT. I gave it the false belief test (Alice and Bob are playing, Bob leaves, Alice hides his toy, Bob comes back, where does he look for his toy?), which it both passed and recognized as the false belief test. I then asked it to write a React program that ChatGPT has no problem with, and it hallucinated some incorrect code before eventually tellin…

> Quick impression: it's not as good as ChatGPT. Not as good? ChatGPT is crap since M$FT re-donated OpenAI with $10b. Even the paid version is worse[1] than Bing Chat. [1] https://wojteksychut.com/posts/ml-text-summarization-reliabi...

To be clear, I'm referring to chat.openai.com as ChatGPT (and I'm on the free plan, so I think that's GPT-3.5).

Seems like it is interpreting the first question as "does Google (as a whole) have access to my personal info?"

So basically it took a step back from google home....

I don’t see these LLM as complete products, they will be like a virtual operator who knows how to understand your request and how to use the tools to answer it. Currently it isn’t plugged in to the tools to actually do things or fetch data.

The LLM will be told that when the user asks for the weather, get the data. But it will be able to understand a lot more ways to ask this question than previous assistants.

I … would ask according to my search history what porn it would recommend. Though that is probably trained away.
