I wonder when will this join the Google Graveyard

After it was supposedly updated to support helping with code, I asked bard about how to access password protected zips in Go and it made up libraries and gave me a very simple non-functioning example. When asked to describe Octopath Traveler 2, it invented a new main character and setting that isn't in the game or its predecessor or the mobile game. I don't have a lot of faith that Gemini will be better.

How did you you play around with it?

It's geographically restricted. I had to choose VPN servers in the US to be able to use it, otherwise bard would only load a useless landing page.

That was the one and only prompt I gave it in that chat. New bard sucks as bad as old bard.

They still call Google a search company here... So weird. It's an ad company.

I'm annoyed they had to use the same name as a web protocol.

Who, exactly, was waiting for this?
