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.

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 think the scariest part of this is all of the stuff being made in china without consistent production or safety standards.

As an example, I ordered two identical items off of Amazon and the power adapter part of it were completely different, to the point that one out of box barely worked and would only power itself if I angled the power cable at a strange angle with pressure on it.

Sure, it’s just a minuscule issue that would probably blow a gfci…but all of the other battery powered mass produced junk pushing tons of power is scary
