Why do they gate access at country level if it's about language. I live in Europe and speak English just fine. Can't they just offer it in English only until the multi-language support is ready?

Could be a legal issue, privacy or whatnot.

Yep, there is a big reason why Europe has so few successful big tech companies, it is a regulatory hellscape. They have so many pointless privacy regulations that only the “big” companies can even hope to compete in many markets like ad tech.

The biggest advantage of Bard is the speed, it's practically instant. I asked: How would I go about creating a sandbox directory for a subordinate user (namespaced user with subuid - e.g. uid 100000), that can be deleted as the superior user (e.g. uid 1000)? I want this to be done without root permissions. Both said that it's impossible, which is the the generally accepted answer. I then added: I don't care about dat…

If you ever try it on Gemini let me know I am curious.

As of today, Bard is now powered by the Gemini Pro model mentioned in the article. Bard Advanced is set for release early next year and will be powered by Gemini Ultra.

google, listen, stop talking the talk, walking the walk when you have something in real, your Bard for example, is still one decade behind chatgpt, your gemini has not even made it better and you're announcing you had a chatgpt killer, don't drive your reputation to ground please, it's in decline over the years.

> I've never seen GPT4 produce a link, other than when it's in web-browsing mode, which I find to be slower and less accurate. Really? I've been using gpt4 since about April and it used to very often create links for me. I'll tell it hey I want to find a company that does X in Y city and it generates 5 links for me, and at least one of them is usually real and not hallucinated

It's amazing to me how low the bar is for AI to impress people. Really, 80% of the links were hallucinated, and that's somehow more useful than Kagi for [checks notes] finding real links? Can you imagine if you did a search on Google and 80% of the results weren't even real websites? We'd all still be using AltaVista! What on earth kind of standard is "1/5 results actually exist!" -- no comment on whether the 1/5 rea…

Well the reason why I didn't use google is because of a language barrier. I was using it to research packaging companies in a foreign country in a foreign language. In that case I really don't know what to type into Google.

Other times its generated links are when I prompt it something like "I want to use redux but simpler" and it tells me about 3-5 projects with links to their sites and usually thats better.

Just logged into Bard to try it with the new Gemini (Pro) and I have to say, it’s just as bad as it ever was. Google continues to underwhelm in this space, which is too bad because OpenAI really needs some competition.

Is it not already available via bard?

Only pro apparently which is not as good as ultra, ultras the one that actually beats got4 by a hair

I can’t tell any difference whatsoever between Bard running on Gemini Pro and the previous version of Bard.

OK, maybe "never" is strong, but I've never seen ChatGPT say "This is not a feature that exists, but here's the open issue". And I've asked ChatGPT about a good many features that don't exist.

I don't understand why it's desirable for a model not connected to the Internet to try to make claims about what's on the internet (maybe there's a better example than a GitHub issue? All joking aside, those don't usually have a long stable shelf life)

I had an interesting interaction: Me: Are you using Gemini? Bard: LOL. Got that wrong earlier today. Bard is on Gemini Pro in English across most of the world as of Dec 6, 2023. When I asked it about the statement it said: Bard: I apologize for the confusion. The "lol I made this mistake earlier" statement was not intended for you, but rather a reflection on a previous mistake I made during my training process. It wa…

Hmm... Earlier today I asked "Are you Gemini pro?" And it answered word-for-word the same way. Is this a hard-coded or heavily prompt-coached answer?

It's suspicious when an AI answers 100% the same.
