$today + 1 year: "Google shuts down Bard, its AI chatbot"
Google recently announced that they will be shutting down Google Bard, their new AI-powered writing tool, after less than six months since its launch. The tool, which used natural language processing to help users write poetry and song lyrics, was met with mixed reviews and failed to gain significant traction among users. In a statement, Google cited the lack of adoption as the reason for the shutdown and expressed their commitment to continuing to explore ways to use AI to enhance creative expression.

Hall of fame level here. This is hilarious.
It's pretty funny that ChatGPT trolled Bard.
Google really does shut things down—I know! But for a good HN comment, it's not enough to say something true—one should say something true that hasn't been repeated a thousand times already.

How'd I do? Apparently I'm being recorded.

If that still doesn't make sense, consider this thought experiment: imagine a comment saying something true, and then another saying the exact same thing, and then another saying that thing, and another... now extend the sequence arbitrarily. At some point it becomes annoying and offtopic, no?
Another way of looking at it is this: when you hear a thing that you haven't heard before, that's what gratifies curiosity. In other words, diffs are what's interesting. Clichés have no "diff value" because everybody's already heard them many times. That's what makes them cliché.
I suspect Bard is a small variant of their best model it seems too significantly behind, they must've severely crippled it. It can't even decode morse code, gpt4 can even draw you an SVG and encode it in base64, for example.
