I don't have any specific prompt comparisons in mind, but I'm curious about the more general impressions. Everything I read indicates that Bard's PaLM 2 isn't quite as competent across a broad range of tasks as GPT-4. Not sure what your observations have been?
I haven't used it extensively enough yet to form a solid opinion, but one aspect that's quite frustrating (and odd) is that there aren't saved conversations with each Bard session. If you want to start a new conversation or reset the chat, all of Bard's responses are wiped. You can only view your prompts through your account activity, but not the AI responses.
The offer stands if you ever want me to relay some tests.
As an aside, you might've noticed Automattic (the company behind WordPress) has their own AI plugin now (https://jetpack.com/ai/). As a huge company with gazillions of users, this marks an important milestone as it will introduce a whole new audience to LLMs. It will also make posting live AI-generated content online easier than ever. Would love to hear your thoughts on this in an article.
Thanks, I may take you up on it if there's something specific I'd like to test!
As for Jetpack AI Assistant, I did see their announcement! If I'm honest, it mostly flew under my radar. I didn't see it as a groundbreaking new thing but as an "Of course. It's about time WordPress did this." Everybody and their grandmother's been incorporating AI under the hood, from Notion to Microsoft to Google, so I'm actually surprised it took WordPress this long to catch up.
Time will tell whether this will have a major impact. I mean, ChatGPT and Bing (and Bard, if you're not in the EU) have been mostly available to the general public for over half a year in some cases. Sure, having it right there in the Gutenberg editor on Wordpress is a huge convenience, but I don't know if will be a paradigm shift in itself.
Great work here. We're living in a virtual firehose of information, and it's tough to sort all this out. When I follow 5 newsy-AI folks and they're all pointing to the same big stories, you're doing things right!
I love following the rapid developments in generative AI, but I do try to stay focused here by keeping Why Try AI all about free, beginner-friendly tools anyone can pick up and use right away.
Fantastic stuff. Do you follow Matt Wolfe over on YouTube? He has been another excellent source at staying abreast of this stuff, and he generally always tells you whether an app is free. Great stuff!
I haven't followed him closely, but now that you mention it, I'm sure I've seen at least a few of his videos before. Just subscribed based on you recommendation, thanks!
Great stuff, Daniel!
Though I expect no less from a practicing wizard. 🧙♂️
I do have access to Bard, so if there's a specific test/comparison you'd like to perform I'm happy to pass along the results.
Lucky you!

Absolutely. I'll follow your stuff and give you a heads up if I come across stuff that might help!
