My First Experiment with Google Bard

By Bob Weiss

I was invited earlier last week to get on the waitlist for Google’s answer to ChatGPT – Google Bard.  I was given access a few days later.

I thought as a first experiment I would use the same instruction set I used with ChatGPT in last week’s post.  Here goes:

I want you to act as a cybersecurity blogger. You are writing an 800 word article about Google Bard. It should have an introductory paragraph. It should contain the following topic sections. 1 How to create a used account on Google Bard. 2 How to prompt Google Bard effectively. 3 Provide 5 possible use cases for Google Bard. 4 The future for Google Bard. 5 A concluding paragraph about what you wrote.

I had to add a prompt for an introductory paragraph.  The bold text items were produced by Bard.  Bard created three possible drafts, and the third one was a peach!  It follows.

How to Prompt Google Bard Effectively

Google Bard is a powerful tool, but it is important to prompt it effectively in order to get the best results. Here are a few tips on how to prompt Google Bard effectively:

  • Be specific in your prompts. The more specific you are, the better Google Bard will be able to understand what you are asking for.
  • Use natural language. Google Bard is trained on a massive dataset of natural language, so it can understand and respond to natural language queries.
  • Be patient. Google Bard is still under development, so it may not always be able to understand and respond to your prompts perfectly. However, it is learning and improving over time.

The Future for Google Bard
