Wow & WHOA! I am in shock. It got it totally, completely WRONG!
What is scary is IF I had believed it. I would have been wrong too & I try hard to minimize how often I get my RESEARCH wrong. Wow.
I had been researching that very same question for half an hour when I got this e-mail from Google telling me to try Bard. I was excited. I thought it would CONFIRM my findings. WOW. It got it totally wrong.
‘Wikipedia’, for a start, has a ‘Family Day‘ page which lists two countries that met the criteria. Wikipedia does NOT include Mozambique. So, you have to do a fair amount of digging — which is my forte.
I am NO STRANGER to AI. Wayback, in the 1970s, I was dabbling in our embryonic efforts at AI. I looked at developing a program that would play Scrabble. The only thing that foiled me was that we did not have computerized dictionaries at the time. But, even then I had doubts as to what AI could do & what it might not be able to do.
But, right now, I am totally disgusted with Bard. Loser!
