After Botched 'Bard' Reveal, Google Asks Employees To Rewrite AI Responses

After a botched reveal of the Bard chatbot designed to support Google Search engine, the company is reportedly telling employees to rewrite Bard's responses.

Artificial intelligence models require large sets of data in order to deliver accurate and clever results. But most AIs are still very recent, at least to the general public, making them susceptible to errors.

Making Bard more robust

Google¡¯s vice president for search, Prabhakar Raghavan, has reportedly emailed employees to help with making Bard more reliable so that OpenAI's ChatGPT has a real competitor on its hands.

The email, seen by CNBC, had a link to do's and don'ts that may be followed while fixing responses generated by Bard. "Bard learns best by example, so taking the time to rewrite a response thoughtfully will go a long way in helping us to improve the mode," the email said.

Bard was unveiled last week, and in a GIF released by Google, the AI bot was asked "what new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my 9-year-old about?". One of the responses stated that JWST "took the very first pictures of a planet outside of our own solar system."

Quickly, astronomers on Twitter began to point that this was inaccurate and that the correct answer is ESO's Very Large Telescope. This mishap resulted in a hundred billion drop in the company's market value.
