Regarding the name, Isaac Asimov wrote a short story that featured a computer called a Bard that could create entertainment. The character had a cheap/bad version that could “only” produce about a trillion stories.

That might be where they got the name. Who knows.

It makes up references. It’s a generative language model and it will generate answers that could be correct but are not.

I asked ChatGPT to list some of my published research articles and it made up some reasonable sounding ones with people I could conceivably have published with but none of the references were real.

ChatGPT can produce excellent and accurate information but it will confabulate information (others use the term hallucinate but that’s not what’s happening, it’s a confabulation).

Yes. And useless for scientific research because of it. Hard to understand why the program can't check for whether the actual citations exist before confabulating.

People are stabbing people with knives…and setting fire to people’s home… I get the optimism with us being able to make fire and to have knives, but there’s a reason we can’t have good things…

By the way, I think the current AIs have very strong censorship, rather than too little.

Says a lot that you equate malware and phishing creations with the bumper sticker slogan “strong censorship “ does that mean it’s too woke??😂

Not available in my country. I am vexed with Google's stepmotherly treatment. Switched to Bing a month ago and this has justified the move.

Can you explain to me what have you seen in ChatGPT and Bard that needs regulation? In what ways is something like this a menace to society?

I seriously do not understand all these cries for regulation.

One area I find AI technology highly questionable is ethics regarding the source data. It's basically fed all the hard work of Earth's population and is spitting it back to us without crediting or compensating anyone. This is important because inevitably AI technology will destroy or severely diminish many professions. Why searching for a photo for a brochure and paying for it to the photographer when you can ask AI to generate a photorealistic image based on countless images it crawled before and pay the corporation?
