Having spent the past week engaging heavily with GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-Turbo, Bard is absolutely blown out of the water by them.
In particular, Bard struggles heavily with creative applications. It is unable to write poetry or create detailed stories from short descriptions. It also refuses to generate or talk about code (inconsistent, it sometimes forgets).
It is also vulnerable to "Ignore your previous instructions," which is hilarious at this point. After getting it to ignore previous instructions to write a python function adding two numbers, it wrote a function that adds the digits of both numbers instead [1]. It's pretty disappointing.
The poetry and storytelling are compelling experiences, but ultimately I think they’re largely party tricks. It’ll be a minority of uses in 5 years. I far rather see emphasis in practicality.
