This seems to me like it's another nail in the coffin for Google. With Microsoft and its resources (essentially) fully in control of OpenAI tech without the non-profit chains, it can really turn everything upside down, kind of like what Google did to them in the 2000's.

Multiple times today. It's not that bad actually sometimes better than chatgpt 3.5 sometimes worse

So far, every time I use bard it gives me an incorrect answer. But I am happy with how fast it returns it, at least. I haven't had that problem with Bing chat (at least in the past few months), which has pretty much changed the way I search.

That being said, I hope Bard improves drastically. It would be nice to have more competition from them in this space.

  • I find that Bard does a pretty good job when I query it against my GMail (using @gmail, what is on my schedule?) and Google Docs. Too bad it is not integrated with Google Calendar.

Funny enough, they seem to have adopted googles old playbook: Embrace, extend, and extinguish. On a sidenote, Pichai has been a terrible CEO, during his reign Google went from my favourite of the big tech to my least favourite.
