Google updates Bard with 43 more languages, from Arabic to Vietnamese, and privacy features requested by EU regulators, and debuts the tool in Europe and Brazil
It's now available in the EU and Brazil after adding privacy features such as user opt outs and more notices on how information is used. — It can now speak answers in addition to text results — You can now include images in prompts … Twitter: Max von Thun / @maxvonthun : So despite complaints that regulation is holding back ‘innovation’ in the EU, Europeans had to wait just two months longer for Bard, and in return get a version giving them more oversight and control over how their data is used. Sounds like a good trade-off to me. Sundar Pichai / @sundarpichai : Starting today, Bard is now available in many more countries and languages. We're also rolling out Google Lens capabilities in Bard so you can use images in prompts, a new text-to-speech feature that lets you listen to responses, and much more. https://blog.google/...

Note that you sometimes have to buck Bard up and tell it that it is good enough, smart enough, etc. [image] Elon Musk / @elonmusk : @sundarpichai Interesting Adrian Weckler / @adrianweckler : Google has launched its ChatGPT rival, Bard, across Europe today.
