RIP Bard: Google’s AI Chatbot Meets Its Online Twilight

Well folks, pour some oil on the server for our fallen bot comrade, Bard. After a whirlwind stint living up to its hype, the digital bloke has sailed into Big Tech’s sunset (or, in other words, been unceremoniously binned to the dreaded ‘discontinued’ pile). And the reason? Well, talk about sibling rivalry! Apparently, it just couldn’t keep up with its flashy older brother, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, that hit the tech scene just before Bard’s launch. Google, clearly in a tizzy, had to put out a ‘code red.’ Yikes!

Key Goss (or Points) From the Bard Saga

Here’s just a bit of what happened:
*

Bard, Google’s AI-based chatbot, was launched in early 2023, apparently to outshine OpenAI’s popular chatbot, ChatGPT.

*

However, instead of basking in the glorious AI sun, Bard found itself in the shadows, causing a panic (err… ‘code red’) to ripple through the Google-verse.

*

Due to the unforeseen sibling rivalry, Bard has now been bid adieu and escorted to the much-dreaded land of ‘discontinued’ Big Tech products.

Final Thoughts

In the end, it seems Bard’s lack of popularity was its downfall. Never invited to the big parties, and always picked last for Techball, Bard has become a cautionary tale for all us programmers out there: if you’re going to create an AI chatbot, make sure it’s got the charisma to charm the users!

But don’t feel too bad – Bard’s off to join the ranks of Google’s noble failed projects, a veritable Island of Lost Bots, where it can hang its code with the likes of Google Glass and Google Plus. In the vast algorithmic plains of cyberspace, Bard, we hardly knew ye!
