> I do not have internet access in the traditional sense. I am a large language model [blah blah]
> However, I do not have access to the real-time internet. I cannot search the web or access current events. I can only access the information that was used to train me, which is a massive dataset of text and code. This dataset is constantly being updated, so I am always learning new things.
For example, I asked it the weather in one location and it provided accurate current weather, but in another location it responded with an "as of 10AM" answer.
It definitely has much newer information than OpenAI models, but also hallucinates a fair bit.
I checked weather.gov and told Bard the prediction was wrong and it came back and said yes it was incorrect and now agreed with me based on the weather.gov prediction.
I then tried different locale to see if it's smart enough to use a better data source on the second try. I asked about another city my family lives in and it once again came back with an inaccurate prediction. I asked where it got the prediction from and it gave me a link to the weather.gov website. I checked and the prediction Bard was giving me for the high temperature was actually the current temperature.
I can't say for sure, but it does seem like Bard has access to these websites but is struggling to properly interpret them.
