For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based "Generative AI" search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience.

I asked it today why Google no longer follows their "don't be evil" motto... The results are pretty hilarious.

I did that other day and it said not doing evil was becoming too hard to continue.

I sometimes switch between Bard and ChatGPT.

Bard is good for summaries I've found, overall, however the web based results gives it an edge in some regards.

Honestly, I'm excited to see them weave this into Google Assistant. That assistant has been as dumb as a rock for years, and I swear it actually got worse over time since the original launch.

With this tied in, we're going to actually be able to ask questions and get good answers, albeit long-winded ones at the moment. I have no idea when or if they plan on doing this, though... I just figure it can't be that hard to connect the dots.

When you get to lesser known topics Bard still "lies" quite frequently in my experience.

I pretty much only use Bard. Bing Chat is just too fucking slow. I have used Bard for my SQL stuff and other small coding stuff, and it works well & really fast. Bing Chat was rushed, and I doubt Microsoft is ever going to fix the shitty code that their employees wrote to meet the deadline.

Now that is pretty interesting.

This is because many rich entities are evil and greedy which makes it very easy for them to manipulate other companies to the point of them not following their mottos. What we need to let them know is that they are only as powerful as the user base. Once we all leave the platform, they’ll know to not mess with us

Didn't even know about the third point.

Clearly, the corporate malfeasance layer of it's neural network needs improvement.

The world of politics and business is a cesspit. We are surprised when they give us honest and candid answers.

Scientists and engineers don't have this option. None of their shit works on lies. Physics just is, whether you like it or not.
