Batch replies from Google AI Chatbot Bard; The alphabet loses $100 billion
Written byTimes Magazine
After Bard unveiled Google's latest AI-powered chatbot, Bard feared the tech titan would fall behind in the competition for the near future of online search. Alphabet Inc. posted its worst one-day decline in three months, where it lost about $100 billion. Google has come under fire since the launch of ChatGPT, the hugely popular chatbot developed by developer OpenAI and hailed by many in the tech industry as the future of search.
Google tweeted, "Bard is an experimental conversational AI service powered by LaMDA. Based on our great language models and information from around the web, it's a stepping stone for curiosity and can help simplify complex topics." They also shared a short video showing how AI works.

While promoting the bot, known as Bard, on Twitter on Monday, the bot was asked about what to tell a nine-year-old about discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope.
The AI responded "the telescope was the first to take pictures of a planet outside the earth's solar system, when in fact that milestone was claimed by the European Very Large Telescope in 2004. This mistake by the AI was quickly noted by astronomers on Twitter. "Why didn't you fact-check this example before sharing it?" asked Chris Harrison, a fellow at Newcastle University, replied to the tweet.
