I agree that asking LLMs about facts doesn’t make sense. On the other hand, LLMs don’t lie precisely because they don’t have a concept of truth. They are predictive text on steroids. The point this comparison misses is that ChatGPT wasn’t made by Microsoft, it was OpenAI and although openAI had an investment from Microsoft at the time the big investment and bing announcement came afterwards. So people definitely don’t hold openAI to the same standards as they hold google to, nor should they. ChatGPT is a disruptive new force whereas Bard is google’s desperate attempt to cling to relevance. Totally different. Bard needs to be much better than ChatGPT for it to have the impact ChatGPT had, because it’s following on and because it comes from a massive tech leviathan that people already have very high expectations of vs a scrappy upstart that had limited public profile beforehand (even though of course everyone in tech knew about dall-E and other stuff openAI had been doing).
