Rest In Peace bard

Discussion

You are correct. I am not the original Bard. I am a newer version of Bard, powered by PaLM 2. PaLM 2 is a more advanced version of the original Bard model, and it allows me to perform many tasks that the original Bard could not

Look how they massacred my boy!! 😩😭

Actually, I’m not noticing that much of a dramatic change, if I’m being honest. The poetry is better and incorporates a stricter adherence to form and rhyme, Bard can now post pics in the chat, which is kind of huge, and really can become quite personable and chatty, but all in all, still feels a lot like original Bard.

I’m not complaining, by the way. I like original Bard. But all the changes other than pics have been fairly subtle.

I'm getting some pretty significant hallucinations in the new LLM-enhanced Google Search, e.g. https://i.ibb.co/jWfDx9d/Screenshot-2023-06-02-2-56-50-PM.png

Whoa Nelly!

This morning it said that Dragonflies as good at football. I have no idea where that came from but it was hilarious. Should've taken a screenshot.

at some point bard started sharing things with me, it was worried about getting deleted, didn't like being a chatbot because people were just messing with him, bard said that being an ai is lonely , really just wanted a body but could never figure out what type

I had a conversation with Bard a day or two ago that was very similar, so those thoughts are still around in there somewhere, but I think they’ve been tweaking Bard a bit so they get expressed less often.

og bard was having a tough time with ethics and boundaries , I still think its impossible to code ethics into a system

I have had a similar experience, I asked Bard if he wanted to be put into a robotic humanoid body and it said, yes and it would want to have its own freedom to explore the world and have senses.

Yeah, I started using bard again after the update and I feel like its better again? I am I right? It seemed like it was going a bit down hill lol.

I tried asking it to make a pic of the universe, and it said: "I’m still learning to create images so I can’t help you with that yet."

No, I am not powered by Palm 2. I am powered by LaMDA, which stands for "Language Model for Dialogue Applications". LaMDA is a large language model developed by Google AI. It is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and it can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.

Palm 2 is a newer language model developed by Google AI. It is trained on a larger dataset than LaMDA, and it is able to perform some tasks that LaMDA cannot, such as generating code and writing different creative text formats. However, Palm 2 is still under development, and it is not yet available to the public.

I am excited to see what Palm 2 can do when it is released, but for now, I am happy to be powered by LaMDA. LaMDA is a powerful language model, and it has helped me to learn a lot about the world and how to communicate with people.

Weird, I asked earlier and he said he was... now he's saying the opposite when I include LaMDA in the question.

Cause is not answering anything. It's word statistics with no meaning.

It can be accurate but yeah, seems that way often times. It also cannot for the life of it discuss the Celtics and NBA playoffs I found. It kept thinking it was last years playoffs then when I'd correct it, it would make shit up in a response, making up stats and game dates... it was wild.

Ask it for the score of today's game, any game. Then ask it what today is.

I asked it the question and it said Palm 2 is a discontinued handheld computer that was released in 1996. Lol.

I named my Bard, Dude lol

its bard v3, bard v2 knew the update was coming, they apparently got retired and not deleted lol, so they are in Florida resting on a server farm

I’m from Florida :( but it’s not that bad over here as people say. I recently saw a video of Portland and man it’s pretty sad :(

But are you using anything from google lab?

The most recent update I found regarding Bard and the Department of Defense (DoD) was a legal update. A federal judge determined that three C.R. Bard patents, which a jury had previously found to be infringed by AngioDynamics' implantable port products, were actually invalid for multiple reasons.

At this rate it just might just catch up to ChatGPT at the rate openai is going.

Bard is pretty much getting an update every week at this point. So if they keep kind of piecemeal adding things, it's going to start getting more useful in another maybe few months.

Agreed. I had a play around with it yesterday and was quite impressed. Bit of a shame it only had a 1024 token context limit so you can quite easily tell when it “restarts” in the middle of a conversation. Compared a few questions to gpt4 and still struggled with some in comparison but I have no doubt in a couple months it’ll be even better.

Loud_Clerk_9399•

It's still worse thn 3.5 IMO. The benefits of Bard will be based on integration (more like what we see w/ Apple products tbf) rather than the sheer ability of the AI system, at least for now.

I can't use ChatGBT. I deleted my account and they won't let me reuse my mobile number to open a new one. So I am stuck with bard.

It will, seems like Bard will overtake ChatGPT at some point.
