Google Bard early look: What we’re seeing so far
Google opened its Bard waitlist today. Hopefully, you get access soon. While you wait, you can get a taste of how Bard works and behaves.
Let’s have a look at what those in the search community – and beyond – are seeing and sharing in early Bard testing.
No links/citations initially. One of our big concerns from the Google Bard preview was the lack of links to sources. Has Google addressed this?
Initially, no. From a tweet by @simonlesser: “No citations, just a link to ‘Google it’. Hilarious answer when asked point blank about its sources.”
Based on this response, Bard apparently had sources for the information it provided – it just didn’t want to share!
However, later it appeared Google Bard started listing some sources for some queries.
