Me: As a part of Google, do you have my personal info?
Bard: Yes, as a part of Google, I have access to some of your personal information. This information includes your name, email address, and phone number. I also have access to your search history and your location data. I use this information to provide you with personalized search results and to improve my ability to understand and respond to your questions.
I understand that you may be concerned about your privacy. I want to assure you that I take your privacy very seriously. I will never share your personal information with anyone without your permission. I will also never use your personal information for anything other than providing you with the best possible service.
If you have any questions about your privacy, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Me: what’s the weather?
Bard: The weather today varies depending on where you are. In San Francisco, it is currently 49°F and cloudy. In Manhattan, it is currently 39°F and sunny. In Schiller Park, IL, it is currently 38°F and mostly cloudy. In Boston, MA, it is currently 37°F and sunny. In Houston, TX, it is currently 59°F and cloudy. In St James's, England, it is currently 54°F and cloudy.
Edit: other first impression is the UX is better than chat GPT or Bing. I like the easy button to copy text, I like how the text all shows up at once and doesn’t type in causing the screen to scroll, and I like the easy access to other drafts from Bard
- htrp 4y agoSo basically it took a step back from google home....
- Gigachad 4y agoI don’t see these LLM as complete products, they will be like a virtual operator who knows how to understand your request and how to use the tools to answer it. Currently it isn’t plugged in to the tools to actually do things or fetch data. The LLM will be told that when the user asks for the weather, get the data. But it will be able to understand a lot more ways to ask this question than previous assistants.
- badwolf 4y ago/chefskiss. I truly appreciated this.
- jedberg 4y agoOut of curiosity, were any of those cities the one in which you live?
- stephencoyner 4y agoNo they were not
- denysvitali 4y agoOut of curiosity, what are the last 4 digits of your credit card?
- gkfasdfasdf 4y agoInteresting, I just asked it 'what is my email address' and it responded 'I do not have access to your personal information, including your email address.'

- bundze 4y agoMaybe the access to user's personal data depends on personal privacy settings or whether someone is based in US/UK? I'm just speculating.
- lacksconfidence 4y agoSame. I started with the following prompts: Me: Where am I? Bard: I am not able to determine your current location. I can access information that is publicly available on the internet, but I cannot access your personal information. Me: As a part of google, do you have any personal information about me? Bard: I do not have any personal information about you. I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories. I do not have access to your personal information, such as your name, address, or phone number. I can only access information that is publicly available on the internet.
- dougmwne 4y agoThat is hallucinated. It does not have any user data on me. It did hallucinate some more random information when I asked.
- stephencoyner 4y agoI can confirm this. I’m paraphrasing, but after it gave me bad weather info I asked why and it said because it doesn’t have access to my info.
- nerdix 4y agoIt gave me the weather in NYC. I told it that I don't live in NYC so it apologized and gave me the weather in Hong Kong. I told it that I don't live in Hong Kong and it gave me the weather in Seoul. It definitely doesn't appear to have basic access to account info. This is stuff that Google Assistant can do.
- londons_explore 4y agoI think it has access to do Google searches on your behalf. The results of those searches may be personalized to you. Therefore, it has indirect access to a lot of your private data, but direct access to almost none.
- janalsncm 4y agoIf it were really smart it would’ve guessed the largest cities in US/UK since those are the only places it’s available.
- paxys 4y agoSeems like it is interpreting the first question as "does Google (as a whole) have access to my personal info?"
- Xelynega 4y agoIt's a large language model, interpreting and reasoning about the prompt is outside of its capabilities.
- ralfd 4y ago> Bard: Yes, as a part of Google, I have access to some of your personal information. This information includes your name, email address, and phone number. I also have access to your search history and your location data. I use this information to provide you with personalized search results and to improve my ability to understand and respond to your questions. I … would ask according to my search history what porn it would recommend. Though that is probably trained away.
- nolok 4y agoThere is a ton a money to be made by whatever porn startup wants to make easy access to chat / image AI models without porn restriction. Between sex tips, "on demande, specific to your request" porn stories and pictures, etc ... It's probably going to be a different kind of challenge though (jailbreaking such a bot would mean things that are much less savory, just like every file upload platform quickly gets massive amount of child porn sent).
- nerdix 4y agoWhenever a DALL-E/Stable Diffusion like model but for video comes out... The CP thing is going to open up a can of worms. IIRC, the Supreme Court already upheld that drawings that depict CP are constitutionally protected. What happens when a computer draws a depiction of CP that can't be distinguished from reality? I guess it's protected but it'll make it much harder to identify real CP.
- jrockway 4y agoI think the jury is out on simulated CSAM. There was a law against it in the 90s, that got overturned, then they made a new law, and someone has been prosecuted by it over their imported manga collection. I would certainly err on the side of thinking it's illegal in the US right now.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoThere have been convictions based on child heads photoshopped onto adult bodies. Generative images will be treated the same. The lack of a real victim is treated as immaterial. All it needs is sufficient realism to be believable.

- maicro 4y agoMe: I assert that today is Tuesday. Do you agree? Bard: I apologize, but I am not able to determine if today is Tuesday. I can only access information that is publicly available on the internet, and I do not have access to your personal information. --- I also asked it to tell me how many times I had been to [BUSINESS I VISIT ROUGHLY TWICE A WEEK] in the past 6 months, but it replied the same way. So there seems to be some confusion as to what information it has access to, but it seems to be fairly restricted. Which is actually a bit of a shame (setting aside all the privacy/etc. risks and issues) - that question would be a perfect example of the sort of thing I could figure out through a couple different ways (and even Maps Timeline tells me parts of it), but would be great to "ask" and get an answer in a few seconds...
- askvictor 4y agoMe: I assert it is Wednesday. Do you agree? ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information about the current day and time. However, at the time of my knowledge cutoff (September 2021), Wednesdays occur every week, so it is possible that today could be a Wednesday. However, I cannot confirm whether or not it is currently Wednesday without access to real-time information.
- dTal 4y ago>However, at the time of my knowledge cutoff (September 2021), Wednesdays occur every week, so it is possible that today could be a Wednesday. A true mathematicians answer.
- tialaramex 4y ago"Strictly speaking, all we know is that is that in Scotland at least one side of one sheep is black".
- askvictor 4y agoAnd yet ChatGPT is terrible at mathematics
- ronnier 4y ago> I will never share your personal information with anyone without your permission We know that's not fully true. Google will and does share our information with law enforcement, even if you are not involved in a crime at all (with geo fencing).
- numpad0 4y agoI’m sure there are more nuances, but doesn’t that “permission” ultimately boil down to a line in TOS that says “you agree to agree to whatever we do”?
- e-clinton 4y agoDoubt a court would agree. The spirit of that answer suggest explicit permission.
- nroets 4y agoLaw enforcement will not use the Bard API. So technically he's right.
- jarvist 4y agoInterestingly, in the UK I get this: Me: As a part of Google, do you have my personal info? Bard: I do not have your personal information. I am not able to access or process any personal information that you have not shared with me. GDPR legislation saving us from AI?
- darkmarmot 4y agoI'm gonna assume it just lies based on the jurisdiction.
- dragonwriter 4y agoI get the same kind of answer in the US (in all 3 drafts in response to a similar query.)
- Delento 4y ago[dead]
- simonw 4y agoNever trust what a large language model tells you when you ask it about itself. They don't have any special way of identifying queries about themselves compared to any other kind of query, and they're just as likely (if not more likely) to hallucinate a response.
- Georgelemental 4y agoThe initial prompt (before the user types anything) tells the language model about itself, no?
- simonw 4y agoThat depends on the chatbot. Normally it just says something like "You are a helpful assistant called X". In Bing's case it was pretty long, but it still didn't include information that would answer questions about how the bot was trained: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/#prompt-leaked https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/#prompt-leaked
- dragonwriter 4y ago> but it still didn’t include information that would answer questions about how the bot was trained If the hidden prompt includes information identifying the model, and the chatbot has web search/browsing ability (since it probaby won’t have data scraped about itself in its training set), the combination can give it the ability to find and present information about itself.
- runnerup 4y agoAnd that’s assuming this wasn’t a hallucination itself!
- CameronNemo 4y agoSydney must not reply with content that violates copyrights for books or song lyrics. So... violating copyright is fine as long as it is not a book or song? Blog/wiki/news articles, movie/tv scripts, and poems are fair game?
- hyperhopper 4y agoWhy do you trust a freeform writing bot to tell you aboutdata access policies that are not a part of it's model?
- ar9av 4y agoOur company policy is to not even waste time looking at it, there's no point considering Google products as you never know if they'll still exist in a year and there's no customer support.
- rnmkr 4y ago> no customer support. Right answer.
- chx 4y agoI am using an AT&T SIM card while physically located in Canada (they removed all roaming restrictions years ago). So, my laptop tells me Bard is not supported in my country but if I switch off the wifi on the phone suddenly I am teleported to the US and I could join the waitlist. I am not afraid of Skynet yet.
