Subj : Google Bard is getting better at math, and more updates should be To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Tue Apr 11 2023 16:45:04 Google Bard is getting better at math, and more updates should be on the way Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2023 15:27:10 +0000 Description: Google's Bard AI is getting better at math, and its new update page suggests we'll see it get a lot more updates in the future. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Google has launched a dedicated updates page for its Bard AI, teasing that a steady stream of upgrades is headed the chatbot's way in the future. Launched in the wake of Microsofts ChatGPT -powered Bing Chat , Bard is Googles answer to the AI chatbot fad, but so far it hasnt really impressed us. In our hands-on Bard review we found that while it includes a number of quality-of-life improvements compared to other chatbots, its not the clearest when it comes to citing sources, and generally, its answers dont seem to be the most accurate. Some of those issues could soon be solved, however, with Google launching a dedicated Experimental Updates page for the AI service which suggests that Google has a fair few upgrades heading to the chatbot which it needs to keep users informed about. The first updates are nothing major more on those below but well likely see a mix of big and small changes to the bot as users find, and Google fixes, more flaws in its performance. Well have to wait and see what Bard updates Google has in store for us over the coming weeks, months, and further into the future lets just hope we dont see Bard go the same way as the defunct Google Stadia and Google Glass projects if it doesnt pick up in popularity soon. The first Bard updates are already here The Experimental Updates page already has one post detailing the first three upgrades that Google has made to Bard. The first is the launch of the updates page itself. Google explains that this page will not only help keep Bard users in the loop about updates, but should help users to provide better feedback on tweaks have been made to the AI.

The hope is that this change will make it easier to explore a broader range of topics related to what youve been chatting to Bard about. The other improvement is that Bard is apparently now better at math and logic problems. Google says the AI chatbot should now provide slightly smarter answers to these kinds of prompts, though wed still recommend double-checking Bards math before you rely on its answers, as itll probably still make a few mistakes.
