I finally tried it yesterday after using chatgpt for the last few months for help with languages (human and otherwise).

Prompt: can you test me to determine what my spanish level is?

It gave a very convincing response to the kinds of things it would ask (I can't figure out how to get the exact results back in the history like you can with chatgpt). At the end, it said to hit enter on the prompt to get started. I didn't know what it meant so I told it to proceed with the test. The next answer was basically "I'm still learning languages and I can't do that yet".

Today I tried the same prompt again with the hope I could get the exact output for this reply. This time is asked me 5 questions with both the spanish and english translations and told me once I answered the questions it could tell me my level. I'm not even going to go into how WTF that is.

Bard seems to be a LONG WAY from being ready for prime time.

As for bing, I only tried it once and didn't get the results I needed. Is it legit using chatgpt so i should get the same results in both? I guess I need to experiment more with it.

bard's answer today:

Sure, I can help you test your Spanish level. Here are a few questions to get you started:

¿Cómo te llamas? (What is your name?) ¿De dónde eres? (Where are you from?) ¿Cuánto tiempo llevas estudiando español? (How long have you been studying Spanish?) ¿Qué es lo que más te gusta de estudiar español? (What do you like most about studying Spanish?) ¿Qué es lo que más te ha costado aprender de español? (What has been the hardest thing for you to learn in Spanish?) Once you have answered these questions, I can give you a more accurate assessment of your Spanish level.
