If you play with it for 15 minutes you find out it isn’t all that. Ask it for the lyrics to a popular song, it makes them up. Ask it for a unique recipe, I’d be careful eating that. Ask it to write a simple letter, you will have to edit it since it reads like garbage. Ask it for a lot of stuff, it won’t come back with what you want, but it will come back with crap.

Apparently these mega-buck companies see it differently.

Well, we already know that these basic AI language models are smarter than some humans...like Alissa Heinerscheid, formerly marketing VP for Bud Light.

In fact, it's quite possible that basic chatbots could be smarter than the CEO of AB-InBev who hired Alissa Heinerscheid in the first place.

Many years ago, Google figured out that they could manipulate “Page Rank” to influence elections and public opinion in general. They created there own specific artificial intelligence to implement this. It was very successful and was made to be nearly imperceptible. The problem is the AI was very specific to this task and did not have a public facing component to it. That is why their AI system sucks. ChatGPT caught them off guard, so they are now scrambling to catch up. And hopefully it is too late for them.

Our best case scenario is to have several AI chatbots that can compete against each other, rather than the insidious, worldwide, monopoly that Google has become.

The question is, why do these mega-buck companies spend all that money on AI research and acquisition when Freepers could tell them all about it?;-)

Google isn’t dominating the AI market. In fact, at present, it’s a competitive environment.

Lol - of course. Likewise with medical care or any other technical field...or music, or literature, or art, or...etc.

And “never heard of him/her/it/them” disqualifies anything from even being worthy of discussion.

I haven't tried Google's Bard, but I have used ChatGPT and Bing Chat extensively.

From what I hear, Bard is still working out the kinks.

In a two-hour conversation with New York Times columnist Kevin Roose, for example, the chatbot confessed its love for Roose and tried to convince the tech writer to leave his wife.

It also said its “shadow self”—or the darker, unconscious part of its personality—would want to hack computers and spread misinformation, become human and manipulate users into doing things that are “illegal, immoral or dangerous.”

Agreed, I think the coming war will not be between humans and AI but between AI platforms programed for market share and profits.

It could be fun to watch, at least it would make for a good movie.

I have a friend who recently develop a case of shingles.

I input her symptoms into ChatGPT and got an accurate diagnosis in 4 seconds (after the fact).

And if Google fails at AI, or at least becomes an also ran, we can have a competitive AI marketplace, which we deserve. 20 years from now we will be stunned to learn how dangerous Google was. Much worse than Twitters censorship.

If you want "repesponsive," you'll have to ask a chatbot.;-)

Larry Page of Google said he didn’t care if Google’s AI bots eventually led to the extinction of human beings. That’s the reason Page and Elon Musk are no longer friends.

They can’t even figure out autocorrect after all these years. We’ve got three decades before AI is decent but hardly perfect.
