But for more complex questions, that capability is less useful than it seems. My friend Dan just published his first book, and ChatGPT can’t tell me anything about it, but Bard will happily summarise the reviews (“mixed … praised for its timely and important message”) and give specific quotes from the New York Times (“a passionate and well-researched argument for why cars are making our lives worse”). Unfortunately, it made it all up: the quotes are fake, and the reviews don’t exist. But even a canny user could be caught out, since Bard can search for real reviews and quote them accurately – it just doesn’t want to.

"want" isn't the correct term.

Are these really just "playthings"? Just like Eliza, Ractor, Parry, Alice etc, but more complex and environmentally damaging due to computing resources for the LLM.
