Google's ChatGPT product "Bard" has started public testing, but it does not support Chinese, and accuracy is still a problem.

Beijing, March 22 (Xinhua) Google began publicly releasing its chat robot Bard on Tuesday to attract users and seek feedback in order to compete with Microsoft in the fast-growing artificial intelligence technology competition.

Google said that the public test will start in the United States and the United Kingdom, and consumers can join the waiting list to visit Bard in English. Previously, Bud's tests were only available to approved testers. Google describes Bud as an experiment that allows collaboration with generative artificial intelligence, a technology that relies on past data to create rather than identify content.

Asked if there was a competitive factor behind the launch of Bard, Google's senior product director, Jack Krauchick (Jack Krawczyk), said Google's focus was on users. He says both internal and external testers have turned to Bard to "increase their productivity, accelerate their ideas and really inspire their curiosity".

In the demonstration session, Bard shows how Bud generates blocks of text in an instant, unlike the way ChatGPT enters answers word for word. Bud also provides a feature to display three different versions or "drafts" of any given answer, which users can switch between. If the user wants to get the results of a web query, it also displays a button that says "search it with Google." Google said on its website that, unlike ChatGPT, Bud is not good at generating computer code. Google also said it limits Bud's memory of past chat records and is not currently using Bud to advertise. Advertising is at the heart of Google's business model.

Accuracy is still a problem, but accuracy is still a problem. "Bud is not always right," Google warned during the presentation. Last month, a promotional video showed that the app had answered a question incorrectly, wiping $100 billion off the market value of Google's parent company, Alphabet.

Google made several mistakes during the presentation on Tuesday. For example, in answering a question, Bud mistakenly claimed that ferns need bright indirect light to grow. But in fact, pteridophytes have strong shade tolerance.

In addition, Bud wrote nine paragraphs when asked to write a four-paragraph text. When Bud finished answering the question, Crouch gave the answer a step on it as feedback.

"We know the limitations of this technology, so we want to be very cautious in the speed of launching this technology." He said.
