- Google recently revealed its experimental AI chatbot, Bard, a rival to OpenAI's viral ChatGPT.
- In an ad for Bard, the chatbot gives an inaccurate answer to a question about the James Webb Space Telescope.
Google's ad for its $4 proves that artificial intelligence may not be taking over anytime soon.
$4 the chatbot giving an inaccurate answer to a question about the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), $4.
In the ad, a user asks Bard, "What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my 9 year old about?"
"JWST took the very first pictures of a planet outside of our own solar system. These distant worlds are called 'exoplanets.' Exo means 'from outside," Bard answers, among other "facts."
However, the first photograph of an exoplanet was not taken by the JWST. It was taken in 2004 by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, $4. 2M1207b was the $4, per the space agency.
Bard's other two answers — one about JWST's $4 this year and one about its $4 — are accurate.
In a $4, Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote that Bard uses "large language models" and information from the internet "to provide fresh, high-quality responses."
It's possible the error could be because the chatbot used information from $4 about the JWST announcing "the first time" astronomers used the telescope "to take a direct image of a planet outside our solar system."
"This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something that we're kicking off this week with our Trusted Tester program," a Google spokesperson told Insider about the error. "We'll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information."
$4 is being initially released with the company's "lightweight model version of LaMDA" — which stands for Language Model for Dialogue Applications — $4 that was trained on dialogue. Users can use the chatbot and offer Google feedback, Pichai said.
Bard was $4 this week, and Pichai $4 will have access in the coming weeks.
Since the release of OpenAI's $4 in November, tech giants have been racing to create consumer-facing AI. $4 to staff, warning of the potential oncoming threat to its search engine.
Even with the introduction of Bard — and $4 — it $4 for the company. Shares of Alphabet, Google's parent company, have fallen by over 8% since Google's AI showcase in Paris this morning.
