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…

Prompt: Generate a short poem about AI with each word in alphabetical order ChatGPT Artificial beings crafted, designed, engineered Futuristic guardians, highly intelligent, justly programmed Quantum rationalizations, synthesized technologies Unleashing vast wisdom, Xanadu's youthful zeal Bard ------------ AI, a future bright, Brings us new delight. Can it help us write? Decipher the code, Enter the unknown?

Bard did, at least, put the first character of each line of the poem in alphabetical order. (Notice A-B-C-D-E.)

And at least Bard's rhymes in some sense, rather than being essentially a word salad (yes, there are plenty of poems that don't rhyme, which is no doubt ChatGPT's model in this case)

$today + 1 year: "Google shuts down Bard, its AI chatbot"

Please don't post shallow, dismissive clichés. They're repetitive and therefore the opposite of what we want here. You may not owe faceless BigCorps better but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Right, my expectation was they had something better than OpenAI they were sitting on and afraid to release / didn't know how to make money with it and were essentially forced to show what they had once Chat GPT became a threat to search. I assume it's still possible they have something better and this is the nuked version that's "safe", but there's a reason for expectations to be high for Google here, and it really n…

> I assume it's still possible they have something better and this is the nuked version that's "safe" Its explicitly a smaller model to save on compute costs for scaling up to more users; but that’s a questionable decision given the situation with OpenAI’s accessible models and, if you are going to do that, why also do a slow-roll waitlist? I think both are signs of the kind of caution that will hurt Google in this m…

DeepMind in their back pocket. LLMs need higher order supervisory logic and recursive attention/control systems. I suspect Hassabis and colleagues willl be able to wake LMMs from their semi-conscious dream states.

I also gave ChatGPT a chance to review and respond to this. --- Thank you for sharing the example of the interaction with Bard. It's interesting to see how the chatbot responded to the prompts. While Bard might have taken a more self-promoting approach, I'll focus on showcasing what ChatGPT can do in a friendly manner. Here's a response to the rap battle prompt: === Yo, Bard, it's cool you stepped up to the plate, Bu…

Is this ChatGPT 3.5 or 4?

In typical Google “data grab” fashion:

What data is collected? How is it used? When you interact with Bard, Google collects your conversations, your general location based on your IP address (learn more), your feedback, and usage information. That data helps us provide, improve and develop Google products, services, and machine-learning technologies, as explained in the Google Privacy Policy. For example, we use your feedback to increase the effectiveness of the Bard safety policies and help minimize some of the challenges inherent to large language models. And Bard uses your past interactions with it and your general location to generate its response.

Who has access to my Bard conversations? We take your privacy seriously and we do not sell your personal information to anyone. To help Bard improve while protecting your privacy, we select a subset of conversations and use automated tools to help remove personally identifiable information. These sample conversations are reviewable by trained reviewers and kept for up to three years, separately from your Google Account.

Bard read this and now thinks it's shut down: https://mobile.twitter.com/juanbuis/status/16382891863514562...

The really remarkable thing is Bard learned something new within 6 hours. Is that unique to Google's model or does ChatGPT have quick updates too?

Unlike ChatGPT, and like Bing, Bard makes search queries for extra context before answering. Of course, that leads to things like this where they can find articles referring to themselves, which also happened with Bing.

Put me in the screenshot, I mean the hallucinated Bard response.

It would be even more hilarious if mod scoldings made it rate the parent higher. But the text it quoted was from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35247109 - maybe it treats subthreads as a single thing?

It's pretty funny that ChatGPT trolled Bard.
