Bard is a better search engine. A really good one at that. But it is the same old thing - only much better.

It lacks the spirit, sparkle, the pizzaz and surprising "intelligence" of ChatGPT.

The service, if released before ChatGPT, would not have made the splash ChatGPT did.

I asked Bard for local restaurants and it listed ten. Two had the wrong type of food (saying it was Mexican instead of Italian for example), two were closed and had been so for years, and two were entirely made up. Only four were completely correct.

I asked it for information about a show and it summarized it correctly but then hallucinated the hosts as two entirely made up people with fake careers. It even linked websites to the show with the correct information but made up this false info.

It's even worse than Google search which is already middling.
