In response to OpenAI's ChatGPT, the most talked-about artificial intelligence chatbot and the most rapidly expanding app of all time, Big Tech is rushing to market technologies that can compete with it. Bard, Google's submission, will be available "in the next weeks(Opens in a new tab)," according to a Google blog post. Until then, it successfully imitates ChatGPT by producing false information.
The artificial intelligence (AI) in an animated image meant to demonstrate the Bard user experience incorrectly states that the James Webb Space Telescope took the first ever picture of an exoplanet. This is all explained in Google's blog post on Bard. This animation and accompanying statement were also tweeted by Google. https://ejtandemonium.com/
Webb captured its first picture of an exoplanet in September of last year, but this wasn't the first picture of any exoplanet; that happened in 2004. (Opens in a new tab).
The apparent freshness of Bard's accusation regarding James Webb raises eyebrows, but the details remain unclear. Instead of reading off a list of facts, the information in a language model is generated using complex sentence completion systems. It's possible that sentences referencing events from relatively recent history will have more errors than typical for an AI because the data in them hasn't been written as often. This is probably why the ChatGPT model doesn't tell you much about the future beyond the year 2021. (Opens in a new tab). http://sentrateknikaprima.com/
This blunder exemplifies an ongoing issue with all generative AI products' indifference to truth value, and it may give people incentive to stick with traditional search engines. Bing will sometimes distort the information it discovers, and you may get responses that sound plausible but are partial, wrong, or unsuitable, according to Microsoft, which is currently in the process of incorporating a ChatGPT-like answer engine into Bing.
