Well, Google did say 'Bard is an experimental conversational AI service'. Not even ChatGPT or Bing AI are any more accurate or reliable and both are also experimental and in preview. [0]

I can confidently say that this stock drop is a typical over-reaction from the markets. Today, neither AI is ready to even challenge or replace search engines due to their hallucination issues and LLMs like ChatGPT are unable to cite their sources or even explain them.

If you cannot trust the output from a chatbot or an AI to generate correct or factual information, then it has little chance in being useful enough to be a reliable search engine replacement.

Some have argued that Reddit was doing a cleanse of anything advertiser-unfriendly (quarantining subs, zero tolerance towards violence/anti-lgbtq+, etc) for its IPO. After these events I’d argue that OpenAI was paying them huge lumps of $$$$ to clean up the dataset that was training their LLM. Why not let unpaid moderators do the dirty work of classification and labeling?
