I was gonna say that this is Bard's chance to shine, but it looks like Bard is also having an outage!

[qwertox]

I went to use Bard, and it looks so clean, such a nice UI. And the response looks so well organized, simply beautiful. If the AI only were as good as OpenAI's...

I was going to say that we need to grab our tin foil hats, this can't be an coincidence :D

"Something went wrong. Sorry, Bard is still experimental". Chance wasted I guess.

Bard is still playing scared, it isn’t even international yet

[rockinghigh]

Bard is available in 40 languages and 230+ countries: https://support.google.com/bard/answer/13575153?hl=en

I don’t think there are 230+ countries, at least not on this planet.

[WaffleIronMaker]

Their list includes territories, bringing the number higher. The UN recognizes > 250 countries + territories. [1]

[zer0c00ler]

It’s 195 countries!

I'm in the UK and it works fine. I'm assuming people would be throwing a fit if it didn't work in the US, so clearly it is international.

They started talking to each other.

[CamperBob2]

And that's one picket line that nobody is going to cross.

[willsmith72]

I can't believe it's still not available in canada

[taneq]

Remember when all the niche MMOs would lag out on Tuesday nights as soon as the WoW servers went down?

[edgyquant]

Claude?

[andyjohnson0]

Bard devs secretly built it on top of OpenAI's api? /s

[bobmaxup]

More likely OpenAI is using GCP or some other service that Bard is also using?

[justanotherjoe]

more like people are rushing to bard since they cant use chatgpt, causing a huge spike

[sodality2]

I doubt it - Microsoft wants OpenAI on Azure 100%
