Honestly, the EU doesn't have to worry about Bard. It's painfully bad.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Going to hard disagree.

ChatGPT has gotten bad. Lots of Coding responses that used to be correct. Bard is better. And it also provides sources.

I don't have a stake in the AI race. I just want something that works.

Also, bad AI is equally worrisome as people often rely on it blindly.

I kind of remember people having the same take back around 2000 on the Web and search engines. Like, a lot of concern that just anyone could put up a webpage and that people might rely on them blindly.

And then later Wikipedia, because just anyone could edit it.

True but that took quite a while. Even then, misinformation was quite a problem and continued to be. I like the comparison because it highlights that healthy scrutiny and questioning are important.

at least its better than the "bing" chatbot... its so much worse than chatgpt which its based on - it makes no sense!

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

it's GPT-4 now.

[–] baked_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I have far better experience with Bings chat. Try getting better at making prompts

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

It has gotten better recently, but still far from ChatGPT

[–] pizzaiolo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

I find it better than GPT for explaining code. For everything else yeah it sucks

Living in EU is a dream now. Anyine know Which EU country has better wages and quality of life that Australia ? Also, where I dont have to learn their language ?

[–] Teritz@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

If its about Salary then Luxemburg or Swiss both have great Livkng Conditions but you need to learn either French(Luxemburg) or Swiss.

Every Europe Country has good sites if its about Salary watch Stats from the MEDIAN Salary and not Average it gives a Wrong Impression.

Danish is difficult to learn but we all speak perfectly fine english. i work in a place where every 2nd person i talk to doesnt speak danish.

rent is expensive in copenhagen and Aarhus, but its a small country. public transportation is overall pretty good. Cars are expensive though.

5 weeks vacation every year. free health care. free education.

Oh wow! I envy you so much. Do you guys have a housing crisis at the moment ? Like no houses to buy or rent ? I mean we got some shitty houses here built in 1930s which are not insulated at all going for $1-2mil.

What's wrong with Australia? It seems like a popular destination for immigrants

[–] Krachsterben@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's become America's little bi ch.

Healthcare is slowly becoming unobtainable, and the housing crisis is worse than most other countries because the majority of the population lives in only 2 cities

[–] pizzaiolo@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like most if not all of these are also problems for EU countries lol

[–] Krachsterben@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Healthcare is still free in most of continental Europe

In Australia you're paying hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for specialist appointments and radiology scans out of pocket

Also 95% of the country is uninhabited
