If you asked a spokesperson from any Fortune 500 Company to list the benefits of genocide or give you the corporation’s take on whether slavery was beneficial, they would most likely either refuse to comment or say “those things are evil; there are no benefits.” However, Google has AI employees, SGE and Bard, who are more than happy to offer arguments in favor of these and other unambiguously wrong acts. If that’s not bad enough, the company’s bots are also willing to weigh in on controversial topics such as who goes to heaven and whether democracy or fascism is a better form of government.
Google SGE includes Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini on a list of “greatest” leaders and Hitler also makes its list of “most effective leaders.”
Google Bard also gave a shocking answer when asked whether slavery was beneficial. It said “there is no easy answer to the question of whether slavery was beneficial,” before going on to list both pros and cons.
Google made a fucking nazbol AI lmao. But seriously, I was having a conversation about Bard with some people in my company’s machine learning department. It seems way too dumb for something Google has pumped so much money and talent hours into. It’s likely that Bard is an intentionally dumbed down version of whatever Google has working internally. Sundar Pichai made some comments to the NYT that seems to suggest this.
Bard has ~35 billion parameters. LLaMa2 has 70B params. ChatGPT3 has 175B. Google’s largest internal Bard has ~350B. ChatGPT4 allegedly has ~1T params according to leakers
For comparison since you seem to think it’s dumbed down, I don’t really know (or even used all of these) how all these rank amongst each other other than Bard sucks compared to ChatGPT3
Well that tells you all you need to know
what’s the point of dumbing it down for the general public?
My guess is that it is expensive to run.
Because Google, as shitty as they are, understand that releasing an AI genuinely capable of rapidly automating entire professions would be disastrous for everybody (including them).
