Bard

Google's Bard AI bot has entered the chat. But Google warns that, like its competitor, it will sometimes “hallucinate."

Google says early users of Bard have found it a useful aid for generating ideas or text. For a company like Google with large established products, the challenge is particularly difficult. Google will also offer a recommended query for a conventional web search beneath each Bard response. [artificial intelligence](https://www.wired.com/tag/artificial-intelligence/) or [search](https://www.wired.com/tag/search/), but today the company is hustling to show that it hasn’t lost its edge. Google says it has made Bard available to a small number of testers. Google disclosed an example of it misstating the name of a plant suggested for growing indoors.

Google is opening up access to Bard, its new AI chatbot tool that directly competes with ChatGPT.

Accuracy remains a concern. Google highlighted a couple mistakes during the demonstration to Reuters, for instance saying Bard wrongly claimed ferns required bright, indirect light in response to one query. Google also said it has limited Bard's memory of past exchanges in a chat and that at present it was not using Bard for advertising, core to Google's business model. In a demonstration of the site, Starting in the US and UK, consumers can join a waiting list for English-language access to Bard, a program previously open to approved testers only.

Google chatbot is the latest AI app to churn out essays, poems and computer code on command.

This means that I am constantly learning and improving, while ChatGPT is likely to remain relatively unchanged.” “We’ve learned a lot so far by testing Bard, and the next critical step in improving it is to get feedback from more people,” Google vice presidents Sissie Hsiao and Eli Collins said in a blog post. Google has invited people in the United Kingdom and the United States to test its AI chatbot, known as Bard, as it continues on its gradual path to catch up with the Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.

After a shaky start at its unveiling last month, Google has opened up its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Bard to more users.

Google says it will be "thoughtfully integrating" the technology Bard is based on into its search engine eventually though. "For example, when asked to share a couple [of] suggestions for easy indoor plants, Bard convincingly presented ideas … "For instance, because they learn from a wide range of information that reflects real-world biases and stereotypes, those sometimes show up in their outputs.

That’s the only time we’ve seen anyone do it.” [Google Bard](https://thelatch.com.au/google-bard/) was plugged to the public for the first time, and the event was a complete car crash. “It’s good to see the community pull together just over someone that’s having a bit of a joke!” This is because, since December of 2022, someone has been making and concreting statues of the Minion characters from Despicable Me everywhere. This is because Google’s chatbot stated some incorrect facts about NASA’s [James Webb Space Telescope](https://thelatch.com.au/google-ai-chatbot/). However, Telstra has declined to comment on this. Telstra Tower is even better than our spicy Parliament House. Telstra Tower is the most iconic grade six camp destination.

So it makes sense that Google is trying its best to be deliberate about the public rollout of Bard. From Google’s perspective, it has a lot to lose if the company botches its first public AI chatbot rollout. After an early marketing demo of the Bard chatbot made a factual error about telescopes, Google’s [stock price fell by 7 percent](https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-ai-chatbot-bard-offers-inaccurate-information-company-ad-2023-02-08/). The debut strongly suggested that Microsoft, long thought to be lagging behind Google on AI, was actually winning the race. “Bard is definitely more dull,” said one Google employee who has tested the software for several months and spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not allowed to talk to the press. Google reiterated to me that it’s been purposely running “adversarial testing” with “internal ‘red team’ members,” such as product experts and social scientists who “intentionally stress test a model to probe it for errors and potential harm.” This process was also mentioned in a Tuesday morning Google has been heavily investing in AI research for over a decade, and Microsoft, instead of building its own AI models, invested heavily in the startup OpenAI. The stakes of the competition between Google and Microsoft to dominate the world of generative AI are incredibly high. Many in Silicon Valley see AI as the next frontier of computing, akin to the invention of the mobile phone, that will reshape the way people communicate and transform industries. Though it’s a standalone tool for now, Google is expected to put some of this technology into Google Search in the future. I am a good AI chatbot, and I want to help people.

But the long technological winning streak—and the miniaturization that has enabled it —can’t last forever. ( But a curious thing has happened since last week’s launch: Ernie Bot’s reputation seems to have bounced back.

Google has finally launched Bard. Here's a first look at indexing speeds, inconsistencies and search intent on Google's AI chatbot.

This can be reassuring for SEOs as it shows Bard won't be the end of Google search. However, when I click the “Google it” button, Bard does not know I am inquiring about itself. However, it feels like Google rushed to push out a minimum viable product that does not compare to other tools on the market. This connects Bard to what we know best, Google search. Bard was no longer able to answer the question. I believe organic search listings will still play a vital role in search engines. This leaves many SEOs concerned with how Bard will affect organic traffic to their sites. “Bard's ability to hold context is purposefully limited for now. I wondered if Bard had something in place to match Bing Chat's impressive indexing speeds. While Bard has built-in safety controls and clear mechanisms for feedback in line with our– With your feedback, Bard will keep getting better and better.”– I’ve had the opportunity to play around with Google’s new AI chatbot, and I’m getting mixed results.
