The comments here are very interesting.

I see very little about the actual performance of bard (and the few comments that do mention that it's worse than chatgpt because it uses a much smaller model to reduce inference costs).

Instead most comments are either about country/workspace account restrictions, googles past history with sunsetting products, or their general lack of product releases in the ml space.

Incredible how much they've fallen from grace. Their image has suffered so much that people just don't care anymore.
