Google Bard AI hands-on: A work in progress with plenty of caveats
Even after you click"Got it" and that reminder goes away, there's a line of fine print below the input field that states"Bard may display inaccurate or offensive information that doesn't represent Google's views." After the embarrassing blunders Bard has already made so far, it's understandable to see all these disclaimers. That's all fairly unobtrusive, though, and doesn't really affect my experience with Bard.
Probably the biggest difference between Bard and Bing AI so far is the fact that Google includes an easy way to see alternative responses within the conversation. You can click the dropdown arrow next to"View other drafts" at the top left of each chat bubble and see some other suggestions. I asked Bard to create a 30-minute workout plan for the core and abs that excludes sit-ups, which is something I had asked Bing AI at Microsoft's suggestion before. I appreciate that Bard was able to give me a somewhat sound routine to do that did target those areas and leave out sit-ups, but was more impressed by the two other options I could look at.
Draft 1 suggested three sets of 10 to 12 reps of plank, side plank, Russian twists and mountain climbers, along with light instructions on how to do each. But its guidance for the planks and side planks was too simplistic. For both of those, it gave tips on form, followed by"Hold this position for as long as you can." That is very different from person to person and can really affect the duration of the supposed 30-minute workout.
Unlike Bing, Google's chatbot doesn't always cite its sources, so it wasn't easy for me to get clarification on these suggestions. Draft 2, for example, did list two sources, though it didn't have inline references for specific parts of the proposed workout. The second option did have some better instructions, though. It came up with four exercises to be performed in a circuit . These were plank, Russian twists, side plank, bicycle crunches and hip raises.
