Google Bard launched to the public on March 14, 2023; since then, people have been putting it to the test. Here are the funniest responses people have posted on Twitter so far.
1. Safari Is Faster Than Chrome
Google and Apple have been competing for years to have the best technologies for consumers, from phones to cloud storage. But Google even admits that some of Apple’s technology is better—especially its browser.

3. Seriously. It Can’t Do Math.

4. “Pie Charts: The Only Way to Make Data Look Like a Delicious Treat”
User @ZachBowders asked Google Bard to explain why pie charts are a poor choice for data visualization, and the results were enlightening.
The other day Google’s Bard thought my birthday in 1981 was the same day America was founded (fail)

Today it’s cracking jokes but then providing context that even though the jokes may be funny, pie charts still have value if used correctly pic.twitter.com/WRrypX64vM
5. Bard Thinks It Is Smarter Than GPT-4
The leading AI technology by OpenAI, GPT-4, was bashed by Bard. Seems like there might be a tussle brewing between Google and OpenAI.
My tests of Google Bard-NYT AI has shown it has quite a few flaws. From not understanding aspects of how searching the internet works to fatal errors in arithmetic.

I have worked with AI models for decades, some of this is quite elemental to fix.

6. The James Webb Space Telescope Took the First Photos of an Exoplanet
In perhaps one of the most infamous marketing campaigns by Google, Bard responded in a public video posted to Twitter that the first photo of an exoplanet was taken by the JWST when in fact first done by Chauvin et al. (2004) with the VLT/NACO using adaptive optics.

8. Google Bard Was Shut Down March 21, 2023
In an interesting twist, Google Bard thinks it was already shut down.

I got access to #GoogleBard and it seems to have an imagination! 😍 It can speculate and hypothesise about highly complex issues such as “Would Charles Xavier enjoy the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop?” and “How would Mr Blobby vote in a General Election?” – it’s really funny! #bard pic.twitter.com/75ci3MKQpz
