Chatbot Bard: Google shows false information in ad

To follow the wave of interest created by ChatGPT, Google released a video on its official page and Twitter profile showing how Bard chatbot technology works. But what really stood out was the disclosure of false information by artificial intelligence (AI).

A GIF presents the service as a “curiosity platform” that can help simplify complex topics. Chatbot asks, “What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year-old son?” In answering his question, he suggests that the telescope was responsible for taking the first pictures of a planet outside the solar system. .

However, the first images of an exoplanet were obtained in 2004 via the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT). Information is available on the NASA website.

The fallacy was discovered hours before the launch of the Bard launch event in Paris, where senior executive Prabhakar Raghavan promised users would use the technology to interact with information in “completely new ways.” Google didn’t remove the video, even though it had over a million views.

Shortly after Microsoft added ChatGPT to Bing, Google launched its chatbot technology. Founded by Bill Gates, the billionaire invested in OpenAI, which is responsible for launching the content creation platform.

Bard uses a speech technology called LaMDA and works similarly to ChatGPT; users ask questions and requests and provide feedback in a dialog. Google’s chatbot is an updated version of Meena, an older technology that has been discontinued.
