Bard

From Tuesday users can join waiting list for access to technology that firm hopes will rival Bing Chat and ChatGPT.

But it has historically struggled to ship products based on that research, which insiders have blamed on a mixture of organisational dysfunction and a fear that AI technology could harm the company’s profitable core businesses. OpenAI did not reply to a request for comment about the breach. External estimates range from a 10 to a 100-fold increase in costs, yet Bard has no adverts and no obvious revenue sources. Asked to list ideas for two children on holiday in Tokyo, Bard initially suggested a trip to Tsukiji fish market – but failed to mention that a substantial part of the market moved to a new venue in 2018. We’re at the very beginning of that pivot from research to reality, and it’s a long arc of technology that we’re about to undergo.” “There’s a lot of content that has been written across the internet where you can still do deep research, and so what I would expect as people are using Bard is that search will continue to be a complement.”

Google has announced it is allowing more people to interact with Bard, the AI chatbot the company is building to counter Microsoft's early lead in a pivotal ...

The California company is not saying how many people will be given access to Bard in the next stage. Google is also providing access to Bard through a separate site from its search engine, which serves as the foundation for the digital ads that generate most of its profits. Google is treading carefully with the rollout of its AI tools, in part because it has more to lose if the technology spits out inaccurate information or takes its users down dark corridors.

Google has admitted its Bard chatbot can still give “misleading or false information” as it launched the artificial intelligence (AI) engine to the public.

Bard has been trained on millions of lines of text, online books, articles and encyclopaedias. Google’s AI leaders stressed Bard was designed to be used to provide “creative” prompts, with human users making use of the tool to “collaborate with generative AI”. they can provide inaccurate, misleading or false information while presenting it confidently. Google’s Bard chatbot will be opened up to users in the UK and the US starting today, but subjected to a set of strict guardrails as Google attempts to stop its technology delivering awkward or offensive answers. Responses from Bard will be called “drafts” and the chatbot will provide three potential answers to each question. The US technology giant said on Tuesday it would start letting people in the US and UK use Bard as “an early experiment” with the technology.

Google releases Bard chatbot to limited number of users as it responds to unexpected popularity of Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.

The chatbot often gives three “drafts” of its responses, allowing users to see a variety of responses – although early users said in some cases all three of the responses included incorrect data. Hsiao and Collins described Bard as a “complementary experience to Google Search” that could be used to “boost your productivity, accelerate your ideas and fuel your curiosity”. Demonstrations released by Google, such as a query asking the chatbot to “Brainstorm some ways to help me read 20 books this year”, showed Bard giving simple and unimaginative advice, such as making a list of books to read. For instance, unlike the long and strange conversations with the Bing chatbot reported in outlets such as the New York Times, Bard has a cap on the number of exchanges in a dialogue. Two of the project’s leads, Sissie Hsiao and Eli Collins, described the project in a blog post as an “early experiment” allowing users to “collaborate with generative AI”, and their announcement is replete with disclaimers Google releases Bard chatbot to limited number of users as it responds to unexpected popularity of Microsoft-backed ChatGPT

A waitlist has been established for users over 18 for the new Bard chatbot from Google, as the search company looks to compete with ChatGPT.

[Mike Myer – ‘Generative AI is another huge transformation’](/mike-myer-generative-ai-is-another-huge-transformation-123502160/) — Mike Myer, CEO and founder of Quiq, the AI-driven chatbot solution for customer service, whose clients include Nespresso, Wella and Spirit Airlines, believes that generative AI promises to change our world in the way the internet did back in the mid-1990s. It could in time become our own ‘personal AI’, understanding what users want, and what options are available to them — becoming a bit like financial advisors, or holiday diary planners, for example. Boere commented: “Google launching ChatGPT rival Bard highlights just how widespread this technology is going to become. The technology is drastically accelerating the ability to mimic human conversation. they can provide inaccurate, misleading or false information while presenting it confidently,” the company wrote in a In response to queries, a selection of three ‘draft’ answers will be provided.

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.

On the other hand, ChatGPT runs on Generative Pre-training Transformer-4 ( [GPT-4](https://openai.com/product/gpt-4)), so all of its responses come from its knowledge base, whose cutoff date ends in September 2021, so it’s limited in newer information and research.

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.

The latest outage comes amid increasing concern over the damage that artificial intelligence could do to artists and other industries. Experts have raised alarm ...

But as Professor Kosinski suggests, that might not matter if the effects lead to it breaking out in ways that had not been anticipated. He told ABC News that thought AI will be “the greatest technology humanity has yet developed”, he also pointed to threats. And not only that: it has a plan. It also said that it is now back online, but that the history sidebar might not show anything until it is fixed. But he warned that it will all depend on which humans are in control. “It waits for someone to give it an input,” Altman said. That is to say that it has not been done with other artists’ images, which has proven controversial given that the systems then have a tendency to replicate those artists’ styles – without them receiving any payment or other recompense. I created this proof-of-concept and proved that it doesn’t work yet. And now Adobe has one, all of its own: in the form of Firefly, which can not only make images but also allows people to type to edit them. In what appears to be an attempt to catch up, Google is now letting people talk to ‘Bard’, it’s own system. At least part of yesterday’s outage on ChatGPT was because of a potentially dangerous bug that shared people’s chats with other users. But Adobe hopes it will one day live within Adobe’s “Creative Cloud” set of creative apps, tightly integrated so that people can just generate an image within Photoshop, for instance.

This latest move feels a bit like desperation and I wonder how much longer it would have remained in development if Microsoft had not forced its hand (and based on initial testing that may have been a good thing). It is programmed not to respond to offensive prompts and has filters to prevent it from sharing harmful, illegal, sexually explicit or personally identifiable information but like any method these guardrails will occasionally fail (see my further analysis in UKHotViewsExtra). Users currently have to register for a waitlist to try it out, though there appears to be no restriction on who can access it (including age).
