Me: As a part of Google, do you have my personal info? Bard: Yes, as a part of Google, I have access to some of your personal information. This information includes your name, email address, and phone number. I also have access to your search history and your location data. I use this information to provide you with personalized search results and to improve my ability to understand and respond to your questions. I u…

Me: I assert that today is Tuesday. Do you agree? Bard: I apologize, but I am not able to determine if today is Tuesday. I can only access information that is publicly available on the internet, and I do not have access to your personal information. --- I also asked it to tell me how many times I had been to [BUSINESS I VISIT ROUGHLY TWICE A WEEK] in the past 6 months, but it replied the same way. So there seems to b…

Me: I assert it is Wednesday. Do you agree?

ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information about the current day and time. However, at the time of my knowledge cutoff (September 2021), Wednesdays occur every week, so it is possible that today could be a Wednesday. However, I cannot confirm whether or not it is currently Wednesday without access to real-time information.

> I will never share your personal information with anyone without your permission We know that's not fully true. Google will and does share our information with law enforcement, even if you are not involved in a crime at all (with geo fencing).

I’m sure there are more nuances, but doesn’t that “permission” ultimately boil down to a line in TOS that says “you agree to agree to whatever we do”?

Google spent years touting its leadership position in AI with DeepMind and Google Brain now its playing catch up and seems to be flailing around a bit Pichai really is just looking like a good-times placeholder CEO

Are you discounting the work on AlphaGo, AlphaFold, etc.?

Google may be playing "catch up" in releasing these things as products, but remember that ChatGPT, etc. are all based on Google's paper on Transformers ("Attention is all you need").

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 put Bard and ChatGPT head to head by copying and pasting the rap battle responses from one to the other. I'm very unimpressed by Bard. It repeated back some of what ChatGPT rapped without changing it or commenting on it. It also failed to rhyme. Meanwhile, ChatGPT invented a new word (defeativity) in much the way an actual rapper would. === Bard: I'm Bard, the language model, I'm here to put you in your place. I ca…

What would stop Google from making bard better than GPT over next few months. Google has got: 1. best data to train LLM 2. Best AI engineers 3. Money to spend on training hardware for LLM I wouldn't keep Google out of this GPT trend so easily

I wouldn't be so quick about the data (from what I hear openai did a lot of data curation) and engineers (I don't think engineers at openai are any worse, and that are likely more focused), but Google does have a lot of money.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> BARD: The blue cube is now the bottom cube, and the red cube is on top of it. The red cube is touching the blue cube on all six sides. That doesn’t seem correct. The red cube is touching the blue cube on its top side only.

You could argue 5 sides are touching

only if you're trying to be a nuisance

I'm surprised that they released it as is. In my experience, the quality has been degraded a lot over recent weeks, likely due to cost optimization.

How do you know about its past performance?

Because I have an access to the larger models.

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.…

Anyone has doubts that this thing can outtalk and outdebate just about anyone? Imagine a politician on stage, who gets hints from gpt4 in hus earpiece.

I am pretty sure this thread just invented adversarial self-play for LLMs.
