Reply to comment by AdditionalPizza in Over-under that Google already has AGI? Try and rationalize the release of Bard. by AdditionalPizza

I would guess to obtain data on users, and to obtain data on how users interact with AI for the purpose of improving Bard.

Hmm. I would have to assume they probably wouldn't really need that data at this point, considering the hoarding they have done already. But, it could be just a basic preliminary test to see how the public interacts with bots like this because people don't always post the darkest stuff they might ask to an AI.

I still question why they would risk so much with such an inferior model though.

Yeah true, more likely just the testing on a larger scale than they could do themselves without outsourcing to the public, but it does seem like with the results I've seen from Bard it wasn't worth it. Maybe it is possible they have a better model not released, and the next update to the public would appear even greater by comparison and they can say "look how quickly we can improve our model!"

That thought occurred to me, I'm not convinced they want people to think AI advances quicker than it already is but I don't know.

Something is peculiar.
