Bard: Google’s ‘ChatGPT rival’ Bard gives inaccurate information in company ad – Times of India

Google recently announced its ChatGPT rival, Bard. According to Google, the AI chatbot has been rolled out for a group of “trusted testers” … before becoming “more widely available to the public in the coming weeks.” Seems it may need some time to get the search more refined. As the Bard got information inaccurate in an ad Google published to promote it.
Google posted a short GIF video of Bard in action on microblogging platform Twitter, describing the chatbot as a “launchpad for curiosity” that would help simplify complex topics. In the advertisement, Bard is given the prompt: “What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year old about?”
Bard responds with a number of answers, including one suggesting the JWST was used to take the very first pictures of a planet outside the Earth’s solar system, or exoplanets. This is inaccurate. As, the first pictures of exoplanets were taken by the European Southern Observatory‘s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA. Incidentally, so far Google has not removed the tweet.

“Bard is an experimental conversational AI service, powered by LaMDA. Built using our large language models and drawing on information from the web, it’s a launchpad for curiosity and can help simplify complex topics →” is how the tweet describes Bard. It has the GIF as an image. The image GIF goes on to suggest all that users can ask from Bard.
