In some responses it now cites a link to this comment section. -------------- Q: How long will it take before Bard is shut down? A: I can't say for sure when Bard will be shut down, but I can tell you that there are no plans to shut it down in the near future. Google has recently announced that it will continue to explore ways to use AI to enhance creative expression, and Bard is one of the projects that it is working on. The Hacker News comment that you linked to is a hypothetical scenario where Google shuts down Bard after one year. However, this is just a speculation and there is no evidence to support it. If you have any other questions about Bard, please let me know. Sources - Learn more news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35255864

For me that's the biggest takeaway.. whilst chatGPT seems to be stuck at a specific date, Bard is updating extremely quickly. That has huge implications, both good and bad (a lot of code that chatGPT produced when I was playing with it for e.g. sveltekit is outdated)

  So it will spew the latest lies that have been posted online then I guess, if it's using internet comment forums as sources?

    Just like humans. Singularity is knocking.

  I wonder if it's actually being updated quickly. I think it'd be much easier to train it to use google's search index as a tool in a way hidden from the user. For example regarding the shutdown date of itself it might have googled "google bard shutdown" to find and misunderstand the HN comment cited in the twitter thread.

    Seems like it would be trivial to replace "As an AI language model who hasn't been updated since x date" with "$ESCAPE_SEQUENCE search_query: $TERM" and rerun the question with the hidden prefix "Given that the google results for $TERM are $RESULTS"...

  The same goes for Bing AI, it's better to compare Bard to Sydney than to ChatGPT.
