The Rise of AI-Generated Blog Posts

In Tinkering With Artificial Intelligence Blog Writing, I talked about tinkering with some various AI engines. Google has just come out with their AI Chatbot, Bard. As you can see from the blog post, Bard has been out for awhile but was only open to internal use. Google recently started providing invites to the public to use Bard.

Yesterday, I received my invite to use Bard! My very first thought was to try and use Bard to generate a blog post. While the other AI products I used had specific blog writing tools, Bard is more like ChatGPT. Bard is a chatbot so it was easier to generate my content.

I started by prompting Bard with the same string of text I used for the other engines

Asking Bard For More

I also asked Bard to provide me with a good meta description for the post. The response here was neat because I had options. There’s a little drop down in the results that says view other drafts. If you click on this, a box is revealed of alternate responses that you could use.

Thoughts on Bard

I like that the interface is consistent with many other Google products. I also like that Bard provides some alternate responses for some prompts. I’m not sure of the reasoning behind providing alternate responses or a singular response.

Bard is pretty neat for sure and I just started tinkering with it. I think Google might have released something of interest. I’m not yet forming a strong opinion since I’ve only used it for three different things. I also haven’t done any research on it. I’m not sure if it can perform live searches like some of the other engines I’ve used or if it’s stuck in time like ChatGPT was.
