Nah, both keywords and long sentences get meaningless results from Google these days (including their falsely authoritative Bard claims).

I view Bard as a lot like the yesman lacky that tries to pipe in to every question early, either cheating off other's work or even more frequently failing to accurately cheat off of other's work, largely in hopes that you'll be in too much of a hurry to mistake it's voice for that of another (eg, mistake the AI breakdown for a first hit result snippet) and faceplant as a result of their faulty intel.

Gemini gets me relatively decent answers .. only after 60 seconds of CoT. Bard answers in milliseconds and its lack of effort really shows through.

Just to nitpick: The AI results on google search are Magi (a much smaller model), not Gemini.

And definitely not Bard, because that no longer exists, to my annoyance. It was a much better name.

  • That was a pretty funny little maneuver from Google.

    Google: Look at our new chatbot! It's called Bard, and it's going to blow ChatGPT out of the water!

    Bard: Hallucinates JWST achievements when prompted for an ad.

    Google: Doesn't fact check, posts the ad
