I've been using GPT for the better part of a year now, and though it has a number of well known limitations and occasional regressions, it's really improving over time at a remarkable rate.
In parallel, I play around with other AI, notably Bard. And whatever concerns I have with GPT immediately fall to the wayside.
Bard is categorically unable to answer a number of specific questions, it regularly provides absurdly incorrect information and refuses to accept that.
I have endless examples of that, but just now, I opened Bard and saw it was updated to generate images. When I asked it to do that, it asked for specifics, then said it is unable to generate images.
I therefore had a fairly lengthy conversation about it, trying to determine if the news of the update is a lie or if I am misunderstanding something. And it not only refuses direct prompts and ignores fairly simple questions - I would not even mind a general refusal to answer, but it categorically disregards even the simplest prompts that come from those conversations.
I can post images if necessary, but I just wanted to rant, because whenever Bard is 'updated' it remains hopelessly, ridiculously frustrating...
Does anyone have anything to say on this topic? I apologise, I just needed to rant, because it is frustratingly arrogant in its refusal to engage with any kind of critical discussion, clarification or analysis of its regularly absurd and highly inaccurate answers, even when presented with additional evidence to encourage it to provide some concrete answers.
