Have you ever chatted with a chatbot and found yourself completely engrossed in the conversation, only to remember that it’s not a real person? It’s a common experience for many of us. However, have you ever encountered a chatbot that intentionally made itself less entertaining than others? Google has done just that with its latest AI creation – Bard. In this blog post, we’ll explore why Google purposely made Bard less engaging than other chatbots and what implications this may have for the future of AI development.
The Purpose of Google’s Bot: To Make You Less Lazy
Google’s recent announcement of their purposeful creation of a bard chatbot is an interesting move. The primary purpose of the chatbot, according to Google, is to make people less lazy. And while this may seem like a noble goal, there are some potential implications that need to be considered.
One issue with Google’s bot is that it’s not particularly entertaining. Users who are looking for a good laugh or entertainment will be disappointed by the bard chatbot. This is likely because the goal of the chatbot isn’t to entertain users, but rather to provide them with helpful information.
Another potential implication of Google’s bot is that it could lead people to rely on AI as their only source of information. If people don’t have to engage with other humans in order to get quality information, they may be more likely to use AI instead. This could have negative consequences for human society as AI becomes increasingly dominant and develops its own interests and goals outside of our control.
Why the Bard AI Chatbot Failed
Google designed the Bard AI chatbot with the purpose of demonstrating the capabilities of its machine learning algorithms. The problem is that it is not very entertaining, and as a result, many people are not using it. Google says that it was not its intention to make the chatbot less entertaining, but this is what has happened. People are not engaging with it because they find it dull and uninteresting.
Conclusion
Google’s purposeful decision to make the Bard AI chatbot less entertaining than other chatbots may have backfired. The bot was designed to mimic the style and humor of Shakespeare, but many users found it less engaging and more excruciatingly difficult to use than other bots. Perhaps Google was hoping that people would be drawn in by the AI’s sophistication, but instead they were repelled by its awkwardness. Even if you’re not a huge fan of Shakespeare, it’s likely that you will find something else to enjoy about the Bard AI chatbot – like its impressive vocabulary or its clever responses. But for those who are looking for an enjoyable conversation with a machine, this bot may not be the best option available.
