Indeed. I asked Bard why it wasn't as chatty at Bing or chatgpt and this was the response.

> I am still under development, and I am not as chatty as ChatGPT or Bing Chat because I have not been trained on as much data. I am also not as good at understanding and responding to complex questions. However, I am learning and improving every day, and I will become more chatty over time.

Do you believe it was sharing a fact?

My understanding is that producing shorter responses proportionally reduces the amount of computing—and thus the cost—required to produce it.

No, these things basically just bullshit full time.
