Bard provided me with three drafts of a blog post. The above was the first one of the three drafts. Bard generated the drafts in under a minute.
Bard is experimental and still being developed by Google. For now, Bard’s responses are in text and do not contain images. According to Google, “Coming soon, Bard will become more visual both in its responses and your prompts. You’ll be able to ask it things like, ‘What are some must-see sights in New Orleans?” — and in addition to text, you’ll get a helpful response along with rich visuals to give you a much better sense of what you’re exploring.’ “
When I asked Bard for an image for this blog post, Bard did not provide me with one. Or two, or three.
Bard’s reply said that it provided me with three drafts of an image, but none of the drafts actually contained an image. I would have expected Bard to explain that it could not yet provide images. But perhaps it’s preparing for the day when it will show images in response to a request.
If you begin to use Bard, you may find helpful ways to use this AI tool. And/or you may discover some of its limitations.
Google will continue to develop and bring new features to Bard such as images, which should make Bard even more useful.

I must admit, when I first heard about Google Bard, I was skeptical. I mean, an AI writing poetry? It sounded a bit far-fetched. But your detailed explanation of how Bard works and the examples you provided truly blew me away. It’s incredible how technology has progressed to the point where AI can generate meaningful and creative pieces of art. As a fellow tech enthusiast, I find it thrilling to see AI being applied in such innovative ways.
I can’t help but wonder about the implications of Google Bard for the world of literature and creativity. Will this AI tool spark a new era of collaborative writing? Will it serve as a source of inspiration for aspiring poets? Or perhaps it will even challenge our traditional notions of what it means to be a poet. It’s exciting to think about the possibilities.
I have Bard but didn’t really understand what it did but this post has cleared that up and I’m going to give it a try.
Hi Alison, Yes, Bard can be very helpful and probably will become even more helpful in the future. I hope you enjoy using Bard, Alison.
