Google shares dive 7.8% after AI chatbot Bard flubs answer in ad
In the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly sophisticated, and its capabilities have dazzled the tech world. One area where AI has shown great promise is in chatbots.
Chatbots are computer programs that can mimic human conversation. They are designed to make it easy for users to interact with online services or websites.
Google’s chatbot, Bard, is one of the most advanced chatbots available. Bard was released in 2018 and quickly became one of the most popular chatbots on the market.
However, Bard ran into trouble recently when it was asked a question during an ad that it could not answer. The exchange went as follows:
User: Bard, what is the capital of Australia?
Bard: I’m sorry, I don’t know.
This exchange caused Google’s stock to drop by 7.8%.
While this incident was embarrassing for Google, it highlights the potential of AI chatbots. Bard’s mistake was simple and easily fixed. However, it shows that chatbots are still learning and have a long way to go before they are perfect.
As AI chatbots continue to evolve, they will become more and more accurate. Eventually, they will be able to handle more complex queries and tasks.
The future of AI is bright, and chatbots will play a big role in that future.
