Google Bard is not open to public yet, but Bing has its chat enabled to public (after registering to a waiting list)
Here are some of our conversation bits:
Straight to the point, asking Bing how it compares to chatgpt (chat.openai.com) the current leader in the field of AI chat.
First bing is showing what he is doing in the background, which is good, it also is showing that its purpose is to perform internet searches, and will provide links (hyperlinks inside its response)
My second question was about google bard (the competition) and chat bing responded that it is open to the public (which is not true)
As a rule of thumb, it is good policy to never trust an AI response without checking.
Lastly I was badly surprised that there was a limit in the conversation, maybe to prevent people to corrupt the AI by training it the wrong way?
The conclusion is that, it feels like the future of internet searches is going to be AI
It feels right to discuss with a search engine this way, because we (human) have been acquiring information this way since the dawn of time.
No doubt, Google Bard is going to be doing more or less the same, and we will be able to get assistants in the near future, knowing everything about us...
This could be a good thing, unless of course ... this falls into the wrong hands, and then it is used by a dystopian government, but let's not think about that...
