Got this email from Google

Because you’re a Google One member, we’d like to offer you the opportunity to be among the first to sign up for the new Bard experience and provide feedback. Think of Bard as your creative and helpful collaborator, here to bring your ideas to life using generative AI.
Sign up to try Bard
You might ask Bard to outline a blog post about summer mocktail recipes, draft a packing list for a weekend fishing and camping trip, or help you understand if lightning can strike the same place twice.
We can’t wait to hear how people start using Bard, but we also know that large language models will not always get it right. Input from a wide range of experts and users will help Bard improve. Sign up to try Bard today.

Tried to sign up and alas it's not available in NZ yet. I wonder why since ChatGPT is not geo specific?

Maybe integration with Google Assistant and the usual issues with English (NZ) vs English (AU/US) voice models? If so, given how long we have been waiting for voice tools to work I am not holding my breath...

Did I see something just before, that they're training Bard of "Googles Internal Data" which is their coded term for your gmail emails.

Same problem during sign up, it's not yet available for NZ.

Typical Stuff copy and paste journalism. Didn't bother to check out it's available in NZ and note that in the article.

lchiu7: Typical Stuff copy and paste journalism....

Perhaps they asked Bard to write the piece for them?

Why so surprised it’s a normal Google move Australia always one of the early adopters with New Zealand bundled with other third world countries. It makes no sense save power voltage and plug closer to Sydney than Perth is ?.

Since it does not need voice recognition, would people care if the spoken language was not in a Kiwi accent? I personally find the Australian voice that is used for Google Maps and Assistant hard to take so I change my settings to a US voice.

Question for Bard: 1. The next sentence is true. 2. The previous sentence is false. 3. What is the state of the first sentence?

Interesting that the Bard interface doesn't have an option to switch your Google account, but editing the URL to https://bard.google.com/u/1/ or https://bard.google.com/u/2 gets you to your other accounts. 😅

Rikkitic:

Clever, I see what you did there.

Chat GPT took a while and then responded this:

"This is a classic paradoxical statement known as the liar paradox. The first and second sentences contradict each other, leading to a logical inconsistency. As an AI language model, I don't have beliefs or states of mind, but rather, I can analyze the logic of the sentences. The first sentence cannot be definitively labeled as true or false because its truth value depends on the truth value of the second sentence. If we assume that the second sentence is false, then the first sentence would be true. However, if we assume that the second sentence is true, then the first sentence would be false. Therefore, the truth value of the first sentence cannot be determined without a resolution of the paradox."

Oh boi, i hate that old fashioned invite only access so much. I'd though google had learn the lesson for wave, stupid messaging apps, etc. They failed to gain the crowd and yet doing it again with stupid artificial hype... just give access and win the crowd as chatGPT did.

Even „Nextcloud“ has a chatGPT plugin in „Talk“ available.
