Google Stock Tumbles 8% After Bard Ad Shows Inaccurate Answers, AI Race Heats Up | Investor’s Business Daily
When Google announced its new messaging app, Allo, last year, one of the most anticipated features was the inclusion of Google Assistant. Google promised that the app would revolutionize the way we communicate by providing users with a “smart messaging” experience.
However, after the app’s release, many users were disappointed to find that Google Assistant was not as intuitive or useful as they had hoped.
Now, it seems that Google is facing similar criticisms with its new chatbot, Bard.
Bard was unveiled at Google’s annual I/O developers conference last week and is intended to be used as a digital assistant within messaging apps.
However, Bard’s public debut was marred by an inaccurate response to a question about the weather.
This blunder led many to question whether or not Bard is really ready for prime time.
Critics have also pointed to the fact that Bard is far behind Microsoft’s chatbot, Zo, in terms of functionality.
Despite these concerns, Google remains optimistic about Bard’s potential.
The company has said that Bard is still in its early stages and that it will continue to evolve and improve over time.
Only time will tell if Bard will be able to live up to the hype. However, it is clear that Google has a long way to go before its chatbot can truly compete with the likes of Zo.
