Bard is pretty unimpressive, so I’m not really surprised. It doesn’t even feel like AI, more like a chatbot version of a google search.

I meant, given by how fast it generates and how mediocre it is I think it’s safe to say it’s a lightweight version of whatever big model they have internally, so it’s smaller than GPT-3.5-Turbo or GPT-4 and more similar to something like gpt-3-curie or gpt-3-babbage

Have you tried it recently? It's improved a lot in the past few days.

This is expected. Tech is the same, training data is what was missing. It's mainly because execs did not know what to do with the technology -which is notoriously hard to monetize - and did not invest what was needed to get a ground truth/training set.

I tried it again yesterday. I inherited a poorly written work document that had all the important information in it but was overall lackluster and didn’t have much fluency. I asked Bard if it could help me rewrite the document, sort of like I’d paste a document to grammarly; but it really only offered suggestions of ways to edit and never to edit the actual document.

It also includes direct links to the websites that it’s getting it’s answers from, so it feels like it’s reciting the top google search results.
