Google Bard is Not Ready

I took Google Bard for a spin, and it isn't great. It made up stuff and it simply wasn't helpful.

Sure, it was nice that it recommended me as someone who can help you learn about Facebook ads. But after that, it was all downhill.

It made up the name of my company. In fact, I ran several versions of this, and it repeatedly made up a fact about me. It was often related to some made-up book that I wrote.

But the main thing is that it doesn't let you get any more info. Bard had enough data to recommend me, but it was completely unable to provide any more details.

Possibly worse was that it couldn't provide links so that I could learn more. Ultimately, this was less helpful than a Google search, and it wasn't close.

Have you tried out Bard yet? What do you think?
