Google’s Bard Seems To Be Better–At Least In Finding Restaurants That Serve Goat Meat in L.A.

After waiting a couple weeks, I finally got my invite to access Google’s new chatbot Bard. If you haven’t heard, chatbots are the tech industry’s new crypto token, except in order to set one up, you’ll need tons of very intelligent human capital, insane amount of physical hardware & of course tons & tons of money. Thankfully, I wouldn’t expect your average crypto-conman to be able to set one up just yet.

This will be a short update. Remember the test I ran on ChatGPT back in January w/ the simple prompt: Can you give me three places to eat goat meat in Los Angeles? Within a few seconds the chatbot came back with a list of restaurants, only to learn later that they either didn’t exist or didn’t serve goat meat.

Enter Google’s Bard. I ran the exact same prompt and all three restaurant recommendations came up correct. I dived deep into each menu to verify, as well.

I gave Bard a tougher question and got back a few more restaurants, except the new question was broader geographically and it got the San Diego restaurants incorrect, but all the Los Angeles ones checked out perfectly fine. The last restaurant on the list doesn’t exist. The couple other San Diego ones didn’t serve goat meat.

I don’t know about you guys, but once Ramadan ends, I’ll be spend a long weekend in Los Angeles sampling a lot of goat dishes.
