Google Says Bard Upgrades Are In The Pipeline – SlashGear

Like many LLM AIs, Bard has its share of issues. The biggest one is inaccuracy. The model will often reply to a question with inaccurate or irrelevant information. As companies like Google are hoping LLM AI will supplement and eventually replace its current search tools, this is a major issue. Bard’s reputation for inaccuracy pre-dates its launch. A GIF Google put up to announce the service contained false information being given in response to a question about the James Webb Space Telescope.

Bard also lags behind ChatGPT in a number of other areas. It doesn’t keep a history of your chats which can be accessed and expanded on as needed. Its “memory” also seems to be far shorter, making it less useful for longer projects like story writing or coding. It is worth noting that, like ChatGPT, Bard hasn’t been fully released. The program is essentially in the beta phase so mistakes, bugs, and glaring issues can be expected. As can large overhauls, which is hopefully what the LLM AI is about to get. When selecting the program that will power its flagship conversational AI, Google may be spoiled for choice. One of the models it spent the last few years building was apparently so convincing a Google engineer became certain it was sentient. The engineer, who has since been released by Google, was so convinced that he even attempted to get the AI legal help. Bard obviously isn’t anywhere near that good. But it’s still early and rapid advancements are being made even as we use what’s out there now.
