Google AI chatbot Bard fails during firm’s much-touted rollout
Google published an online ad in which the long-awaited artificial intelligence chatbot Bard gave an inaccurate answer.
The tech giant has posted a short GIF video of the Bard in action. via twitterdescribing the chatbot as a “launching pad for curiosity” to help streamline complex topics.
In the commercial, Bard gets the hint, “What new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discoveries can I tell my 9-year-old about?”
Bard responds with several answers, including one suggesting that JWST was used to take the very first images of a planet outside of Earth’s solar system or exoplanets. This is not true.
The first images of exoplanets were taken by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the European Southern Observatory in 2004, as confirmed by NASA.
The bug was discovered hours before Google held a Bard launch event in Paris, where senior executive Prabhakar Raghavan promised that users would use the technology to interact with information in “entirely new ways.”
On Wednesday, Raghavan introduced Bard as the company’s future, telling those in attendance that when using generative AI, “the only limit to search will be your imagination.”
Google’s launch comes a day after Microsoft unveiled plans to integrate its rival AI chatbot ChatGPT into its Bing search engine and other products.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On Monday, the launch of Bard was announced.
As of this writing, the ad has been viewed over 1 million times on Twitter.
