I feel like there's some bigger mistake I missed regarding that controversy. People are aware of chatbots making things up. Microsoft had that poor AI Tay where users' adversarial prompts effectively courrupted its working dataset and it became racist. I know AI doesn't have feelings, and yet I still feel some sadness for how much it was attacked. Maybe because I liked the idea and wanted it to be successful.
Regardless of the validity, I think it's still fair to call it a mistake because of the ambiguity. Most people would misunderstand the answer to mean something it doesn't. But there was such a strong reaction in media about it, when I would have assumed most people wouldn't care. Google never promised an AI chatbot never got anything wrong, and no one I knew expected differently. It makes me think about how many other news stories, for things out of my field, are like the Bard situation. I'll just never know because I won't gain expertise in it.
