"Google is nowhere near this yet?" It can literally do it right now. Formatting was very nice in the UI, bulleted the key idea expressed succinctly in the first few words. It also provided a great summary of John Wick 4.

me: please list 10 points in favor of space exploration

Google Bard: here are 10 points in favor of space exploration:

1. *Space exploration can help us learn more about our own planet.* By studying other planets and moons, we can learn more about how Earth formed and evolved. This information can help us better understand the challenges facing our own planet, such as climate change and natural disasters. 2. *Space exploration can help us find new resources.* There are many resources in space that could be used to benefit humanity, such as water, minerals, and energy. Exploring space can help us find these resources and learn how to use them safely and sustainably. 3. *Space exploration can help us develop new technologies.* The challenges of space exploration have led to the development of many new technologies, such as satellites, GPS, and solar panels. These technologies have had a positive impact on our lives on Earth. 4. *Space exploration can inspire us.* The vastness and beauty of space can inspire us to dream big and to believe that anything is possible. Space exploration can also help us to appreciate our own planet and the importance of protecting it. 5. *Space exploration can help us unite as a species.* The challenges of space exploration require cooperation and collaboration between nations. This can help to build trust and understanding between people from different cultures. 6. *Space exploration can help us protect Earth from threats from space.* Asteroids and comets pose a real threat to Earth. By studying these objects and developing plans to deflect them, we can protect our planet from potential disaster. 7. *Space exploration can help us find new places to live.* As the population of Earth continues to grow, we will need to find new places to live. Space exploration can help us find new planets and moons that could be terraformed for human habitation. 8. *Space exploration can help us understand our place in the universe.* By exploring space, we can learn more about the origin and evolution of the universe. This information can help us understand our own place in the cosmos and our relationship to other life forms. 9. *Space exploration is an adventure.* Exploring space is an exciting and challenging endeavor. It is a chance to see new things and to experience the unknown. 10. *Space exploration is a human right.* The right to explore is a fundamental human right. It is a right that should be afforded to all people, regardless of their nationality or background.

me: list 10 counterpoints for each of the 10 points you listed

Google Bard:

Here are 10 counterpoints for each of the 10 points I listed in favor of space exploration:

1. *Space exploration is expensive and could be better spent on other things.* The cost of space exploration is high, and some people argue that this money could be better spent on solving problems on Earth, such as poverty and hunger. 2. *The risks of space exploration are high.* Space travel is dangerous, and astronauts have died in accidents. Some people argue that the risks of space exploration are too high, and that we should focus on more safe endeavors. 3. *We don't know what we'll find in space, and it could be dangerous.* We don't know what life forms might exist in space, and it's possible that they could be hostile to humans. Some people argue that we should avoid contact with alien life until we know more about it. 4. *Space exploration is a waste of time.* Some people argue that space exploration is a waste of time and resources, and that we should focus on solving problems on Earth. 5. *Space exploration is not necessary for our survival.* We don't need to explore space in order to survive. Some people argue that we should focus on our own planet and not worry about exploring other worlds. 6. *Space exploration is not a priority for everyone.* Not everyone is interested in space exploration. Some people argue that we should focus on things that are more important to most people, such as education and healthcare. 7. *Space exploration is not sustainable.* The resources needed for space exploration are finite, and some people argue that we should not use them up when we have so many problems on Earth. 8. *Space exploration is not equitable.* The benefits of space exploration are not evenly distributed, and some people argue that we should focus on helping people on Earth before we explore other worlds. 9. *Space exploration is not environmentally friendly.* The launch of rockets and satellites contributes to climate change, and some people argue that we should not pollute the environment in order to explore space. 10. *Space exploration is not a human right.* There is no international law that guarantees the right to explore space. Some people argue that space exploration is a privilege, not a right.

The nowhere near this yet remark meant MSFT completing integration of ChatGPT with Bing and releasing it to endusers whereas Google is yet to do it for their search (at least I am not aware of it).

I am a daily user of Google search, but yesterday I went to Bing after MSFT announced it in an email to me that it was available to me.

To be fair, Microsoft has zero to lose by slapping together some crappy integration. Of course they're going to move faster.

Nowhere near would apply if Google had no chatgpt competitor, not if they were still working on perfecting the UX.
