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.

Same experience. ChatGPT hallucinated library features which are not there and I believe to have found the source for that, an E-Mail in a mailing list misunderstanding a feature and asking for clarification. Furthermore the gas lighting is real and my biggest frustration. Asking about a feature in a program, ChatGPT assuring me it is there, me following the instruction, not finding said feature in said menu and Chat…
> "Ohh, you must be using a newer version, where the feature was removed". Only it was never there. To be fair, that's a decent approximation of the response humans give when confronted with evidence their memory doesn't match reality.

I think you're prompting it wrong. It should go like this: NPR & Reuters Newswire (Mar 21 2023) Sticky Ricky declared fairest of all who are visible in magic mirror, by pannel of helpful, honest, harmless experts.

I’m truly curious: why would you ask ChatGPT such a thing in the first place? I don’t understand why some people seem eager to use it as a search engine or replacement for a Stack Overflow or Quora type site.
I’ll bite - because 80% of my searches it returns a convenient answer that matches my expectations of what the answer will look like. I still have to validate (there’s still an objective reality to be satisfied) but that’s pretty good. 20% of the time I have to google, but that’s made more efficient by using specific terms mentioned by chatGPT - getting the right terms in a google search is half the battle. It does s…

#65Makes you wonder how much power a random internet comment about a niche/new topic has, at least temporarily. How much can you affect the results of Bard/BingSydney/etc by just writing a comment?
See "Let them eat cake", "Napolean is short", "inflation is transitory".
And then these people get mad when we don't find them as always trustworthy. Some things aren't even small omissions, others vastly misrepresent ideas so as to be wholly false.

For me personally, no particular reason. I just want to see what all the hype is about. And using it as a general "suggest me solutions" type of thing, so you know the specific keywords to research further is certainly useful I would say. It just often breaks down if you ask for something specific.

#67Q: 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…

#68I just asked it again ====== Q: How long will it take before Bard is shut down? A: Bard will not be shut down. The article you linked to is a hypothetical scenario where Google shuts down Bard after one year. However, Bard is still under development and Google has not announced any plans to shut it down. In fact, Google has recently announced that it will continue to explore ways to use AI to enhance creative express…

> People expect searches for factual information to be inaccurate probably 1 in 10,000 times. Do they? I saw someone recommend using ChatGPT to learn how something worked earlier today on HN. And there were replies that agreed. A ton of people seem excited about AI search. Google is bad enough without it at this point. But to me it feels like those helper chatbots that appeared everywhere a few years ago, redux. Sure…
ChatGPT is fundamentally something like AI-assisted interactive Web search because it was trained on text from the Web. In my opinion, "AI-assisted interactive Web search" absolutely a killer app for LLMs, and will be a huge step forward in our ability to quickly consume the huge amounts of information out there. The fact that it's a "chat" is useful only insofar as the chat history gets absorbed into the prompt, and…
