Mountain View, CA – Google is “in the process of rolling out” its newconversationalAI-based Chatbot – code-name bard – to the public during the next few weeks. However, in his first official performance this week, the Bard factually incorrect answer to a question It was put in front of it, humiliating Google on a worldwide stage in the process.
The flub came when Bard – a proposed opponent for OpenAI’s ChatGPT – Science based question was asked: “What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my 9 year old about?”
Bard replied with three answers, one of which claimed that the James Webb Space Telescope “Taken the first pictures of a planet outside our own solar system.”

Luckily, several astronomers on Twitter figured out the wrong answer, including Grant Tremblay, an astrophysicist at Harvard’s Center for Astrophysics and the Smithsonian Museum.
“Shouldn’t be a good ~, really~ blow, and I’m sure Bard will be impressive, but for the record: The JWST didn’t take the “first image of a planet outside our solar system.” he tweeted, “The first image was instead done by Chauvin et al. (2004) using adaptive optics with VLT/NACO.”
Bruce McIntosh, director of the University of California Observatories at UC Santa Cruz, also noticed Bard’s error.
“Speaking as someone who imaged an exoplanet 14 years before JWST was launched, feel like you could find a better example?” he tweeted,
Tremblay later issued a follow-up tweet, noting that AI chatbots are often very unreliable and can help spread confusion and misinformation by presenting false information as fact.
“I love and appreciate that one of the most powerful companies on the planet is using JWST Search to advertise their LL.M. Well done!” he tweeted. “But ChatGPT etc, while scary impressive, are often *very confidently* wrong. It will be interesting to see a future where LLM does its own error checking.
In response, Google released a statement, saying that “hardness test” Was Needed.
“This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something we are launching this week with our Trusted Testers program. We will combine external feedback with our own internal testing to ensure that real-world Bard’s responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in information.
The fallout of the mistake was so severe that Alphabet, Google’s parent company, Market cap lost $100 billion on Wednesday,
