Google Bard

Google Bard is the newest Chat-style Artificial Intelligence created by Google based on the Google Language Model for Dialogue Applications (or LaMDA for short). It’s the closest competitor ofOpenAI ChatGPT.

Four Challenges

I decided to judge the quality of the AI using the following four challenges:

  1. How to Pass Variables to Ansible Playbook in the command line? - Ansible extra variables
  2. Configure a Windows Host for Ansible - Ansible winrm
  3. Using Date, Time, and Timestamp in Ansible Playbook - Ansible Tip and Tricks
  4. Change user password - Ansible module user

Challenge 1

  • How to Pass Variables to Ansible Playbook in the command line? - Ansible extra variables

Challenge 1

Score: Good

Challenge 2

  • Configure a Windows Host for Ansible - Ansible winrm

Challenge 2

Score: Bad

Challenge 3

  • Using Date, Time, and Timestamp in Ansible Playbook - Ansible Tip and Tricks

Challenge 3

Challenge 4

  • Change user password - Ansible module user

Challenge 4

Score: Good

Conclusion

Google Bard is a great companion that speeds up prototyping and boosts out productivity. I’m impressed by the quality of the result. They appear good-looking and well-organized. However, at the moment, the outcome is still in the early stage and requires some manual rework before being able to actually use in our laboratory. The challenges saw that it is excellent for minor problems but lacks for those requiring more context interpretation.
