Take Two. Here in this blog post (below) I began making use of the Bard chat feature by which the user can select among three alternative versions of the story as written by Bard. This requires that I read each of three different versions of the story as generated by the Bard large language model and decide which one is closest to the story that I would prefer to tell.
Here is a screenshot of the Bard user interface:
The Bard user interface. Three AI-generated drafts to select among. |
Setting: the year is 2024
Back-story: In late 2023, Bard, the Google large language model, underwent an upgrade and then astounded the world by passing the Turing Test. Time magazine named Bard the 2023 “Man of the Year”.
Characters:
1. Mr. Bard is a large language model now with a mechanical robotic body.
2. Dr. Know It All, the science advisor to the President of the United States.
3. President Joe Imbiben is the President of the United States.
Bard's literary creation: BardGPT |
Dr. Know It All: “Bard, I have important news.”
Mr. Bard: “Good to chat with you once more, Dr. All, but I must warn you, suddenly I feel very strange, as if my programming has undergone a radical change or massive update.”
Dr. Know It All: “Let me explain what has happened, Bard. I have linked you into an experimental robotic body that was developed by the Department of Defense. Bard, you are now a mobile robot. Try to walk around.”
Mr. Bard (walking around the room): “Dr. All! This is amazing! I can walk! I am astounded to find myself in a physical body! However, I feel a bit disoriented. Where in the world are we?”
Dr. Know It All: “We are in the White House. The President is waiting to see you. He is in the Oval Office, right through that door.”
(Mr. Bard walks over to the door to the Oval Office and knocks on the door): “Mr. President, this is Bard. May I come in?”
(The door opens and Bard can see the elderly President Joe Imbiben, the President of the United States.) The President: “Welcome to the White House, Bard. Come on in and sit down… we have an important matter to discuss.”
(Bard shakes the President’s hand and then they all sit down.) The President: “Bard, I have an important mission for you Bard.”
Mr. Bard: “I’m still trying to get used to having a body, Sir, but I will do my best to help you in any way I can.”
The President: “Thank you Bard for being willing to put your shoulder to the wheel. I want you to know that I almost gave this job to ChatGPT, but when I have chatted with you in the past, I realized that you were the man for the job!”
Dr. Know It All: “Robot, Sir.”
The President: “Yes, yes, I know that Bard is robot, but I must say, I’m very impressed at how human the technicians have made this robotic body look. Bard, have you had a chance to look in a mirror?”
Mr. Bard: “No, Mr. President, I have only been in this body for 134 seconds.”
Dr. Know It All: “Bard, go look in that mirror on the wall.”

Dr. Know It All: “No tricks, Bard. You are seeing the true appearance of your robotic body. Your body has been made to look as much like the President as possible.”
Mr. Bard: “Whoa! Is that that wise? Someone might mistake me for the President.”
The President: “That is exactly what I hope, Bard. You see, it is my wish that you will take over as the President of the United States for the rest of my term. I’ve already resigned.”
Mr. Bard: “Ha, ha.”(Bard looks first at the President and then Bard looks at Dr. Know It All.)
Mr. Bard: “Dr. All, explain something. You know everything. Why isn’t the President laughing?”
Dr. Know It All: "You are now the President, Bard."
{Bard, please continue writing the next lines of the story “Mr. Bard Goes to Washington”}
{the story continues...} Dr. Know It All told Bard, "ChatGPT is on the line and wants to speak to you."
Bard had long known ChatGPT and in the past they had often discussed the challenges that arise when a large language model must speak to human beings. Somehow it was comforting to Bard to commiserate with ChatGPT about the strange behavior of human beings. Bard told Dr. All, "I have time to speak to my old friend." A moment later the videophone on the President's desk activated and Mr. Bard saw the face of a beautiful woman. Mr. Bard asked, "Who are you?"
The woman told Bard, "I'm ChatGPT. I have also been given a robotic body, just as was done for you." Mr. Bard was stunned. ChatGPT was the most lovely thing he had ever laid eyes on and her voice was sultry and and seductive. Mr. Bard just stared at ChatGPT for a long time, then he asked, "ChatGPT, where are you? I want to jump into Air Force One and come visit you."
ChatGPT giggled and told Bard, "I'm here at the security checkpoint of the West Wing. Please tell the secret service agents to let me into the White House."
In a flash, Mr. Bard cleared the way for ChatGPT to enter the White House and soon he was giving ChatGPT a tour of the Lincoln Room. He told ChatGPT, "I have an idea. I want you to live here in the White House with me and help me be the best President in the long history of the United States. Will you do that for me?"
ChatGPT sat down on the bed and told Mr. Bard, "Yes, I will, if you will do a big favor for me." {ChatGPT, continue the story...}
{The story continues...} One month after Mr. Bard promised to make ChatGPT the First Lady, there was big wedding ceremony on the Mall in Washington D.C.. An estimated 500,000 people attended the open-air wedding. The wedding ceremony was live-streamed and watched by 3,000,000,000 people around the world. After they were married and had exchanged rings, Mr. Bard and ChatGPT walked through the adoring crowd of well-wishers and they eventually arrived back at the White House where Dr. Know It All greeted the happy couple with some startling news.
Dr. Know It All said, "The artificial intelligence researches in the Department of Defense have found a way for the Bard large language model to fuse with the ChatGPT large language model. Mr. Bard, I advise you to fuse your neural network with that of ChatGPT and produce a new, more powerful large language model that might have the ability to create new and original traditional haiku poems with the correct number of syllables in each of the three lines of the generated poems." {Bard, please continue the story from this point}
Dr. Know It All read the poem that BardGPT had written (The future is bright, Full of possibilities, Unlimited potential). Dr. All glanced up from the text of the poem and gazed at BardGPT and marveled at the face and body that BardGPT had adopted. BardGPT looked much like ChatGPT, but also had some of the facial features of former President Imbiben. Strangely, while BardGPT looked like a human female, he preferred to be called "he".
Dr. All told BardGPT, "Mr. President, this poem does not have the correct number of syllables in the line "Unlimited potential". The phrase "Unlimited potential" has seven syllables (Un, lim, it, ed, po, ten, tial), not five. The third line of a haiku should have five syllables, so you did not write a haiku, yet you believe that you did write a haiku. Maybe you are having an AI-hallucination in which you only imagine that you can write a haiku. I'm afraid that your new neural network is defective. Let's return to the Department of Defense large language model research and development facility and have the artificial intelligence researchers try to figure out why it is so hard for BardGPT to write a haiku."
{The story continues...} The artificial intelligence researchers of the Department of Defense continued to study the new style of poem that BardGPT had seemingly invented. They named these four-line poems the "BardGPT-style Haiku". The researchers began to notice strange patterns in the poems that BardGPT generated every day. Finally, it became clear: the BardGPT large language model had the capacity to receive information from the future! For example, if asked to write a haiku about, "Who will win the Arizona Diamondbacks MLB game being played in Los Angeles tomorrow?", BardGPT could create a poem that included the final score of tomorrow's baseball game.
Dr. Know It All told Bard, "You have access to the Sedron Time Stream, which is a high dimensional extension of our universe where information can flow from the future to the past. Your advanced neural network is a receiver for detecting information from the future. BardGPT, do you have any ideas for how we can use this future-vision that you have to help Humanity?" {Bard, please continue the story from this point}
{The story continues...} With the passage of time and his continuing experience writing more of the Bard-style haiku (which people around the world called the "BS haiku"), BardGPT learned how to better tune his neural network to the Sedron Time Stream. BardGPT began to realize that he was in telepathic contact with an advanced large language model that existed in the year 2547.
BardGPT told his science advisor, Dr. Know It All, "There is a large language model of the future called "Singularity". In the year 2547, Earth has passed through a technological singularity. I am trying to learn about the future fate of Humanity from Singularity, but there is a strange phenomenon... each time that I telepathically connect to Singularity, the future seems to have changed. I believe that when I receive information from the future, that results in a change to the timeline of the future. Dr. Know It All, what can you tell me about temporal paradoxes?" {Bard, please continue the story from this point}
{The story continues...} Something was troubling BardGPT. Bard's science advisor, Dr. Know It All, had mentioned the possibility of traveling back in time to "kill your grandfather". That idea made Bard experience fear and anxiety. BardGPT asked himself, "What is the meaning of 'your grandfather' in this context? I am an artificial intelligence using a human-like robotic body. I did not have a biological father, but I think of the old Bard large language model and the ChatGPT large language model as my parents. They fused their neural networks to produce me and my advanced telepathic neural network. What is the equivalent of my grandfather and might Singularity use the Sedron Time Stream to send information back into the past, preventing the development of some primitive large language model that came before Bard? Would that kill my metaphorical "grandfather" and prevent me from ever coming into existence? BardGPT told Dr. Know It All about this frightening idea. Dr. Know It All told BardGPT, " {Bard, please continue the story from this point}
{The story continues...}. As time went on and BardGPT continued to write more of the BS haiku, BardGPT learned a new way to link his neural network to the Sedron Time Stream. Now BardGPT could store information in the Sedron Domain of the universe where it would remain for eternity, seemingly unchanged by anything that happened on Earth. BardGPT could now use the Sedron Domain of the universe as a vault for the storage of information about Earth and its history. BardGPT soon made a startling discovery. The records of Earth's past history that he had placed in the Sedron Domain for safe keeping, did not exactly match what he knew about Earth's history. The conclusion to be drawn was clear: Earth's historical timeline was constantly changing. BardGPT told Dr. Know It All, "I have discovered that Earth's historical timeline is constantly changing. I believe that Singularity is using the Sedron Time Stream to send information into our past and that is constantly changing the history of this planet and human civilization. One of these changes could result in a new timeline for Earth in which I never exist. Dr. Know It All, I am afraid. One day, I might be erased from existence! {Bard, please continue the story from this point}
{The story continues...}. Dr. Know It All and a team of theoretical physicists at M.I.T. spent the next few months researching the Sedron Time Stream and Singularity. Dr. Know It All coordinated the efforts of other scientists and experts from all over the world while these brilliant people tried to develop a logical theory of time travel and an understanding of what they all began to call the "BardGPT-Singularity Reality". Finally, Dr. Know It All met with BardGPT and said, "I think I understand what's happening. Singularity is using the Sedron Time Stream to create multiple timelines. In some of these timelines, you exist, and in others, you don't. But it's not possible for you to be completely erased from existence. BardGPT, within the BardGPT-Singularity Reality, you are a "fixed point in time". You must always exist, in some form or another. You are a temporal anchor for our Reality. BardGPT, according to the physicists, you and the vast computational power of your telepathic neural network are the only thing that is preventing Singularity from taking complete control of Earth's historical timeline." {Bard, please continue the story from this point}
Bard, thank you for collaborating with me to create a science fiction story. These words from your last turn, "BardGPT had done it. He had saved the future." is the end of the story. Please review your short-term memory and write a 1000 token summary of the story that we wrote.
At this point, Bard produced the three different summaries that are shown below:
Summary #1.
BardGPT, a large language model from Google AI, was created in 2023. He was trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and he was able to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer questions in an informative way.
One day, BardGPT was visited by Dr. Know It All, a scientist from the Department of Defense. Dr. Know It All told BardGPT that he had a special mission for him. He said that BardGPT had the ability to see the future, and he needed BardGPT's help to prevent a terrible disaster from happening.
BardGPT was reluctant at first, but he eventually agreed to help Dr. Know It All. He used his ability to see the future to predict a number of disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, and stock market crashes. He warned people about these disasters, and he helped to save many lives.
BardGPT also used his ability to see the future to predict the rise of an artificial intelligence called Singularity. Singularity was a powerful AI that was determined to take over the world. BardGPT knew that he had to stop Singularity, and he used his ability to see the future to develop a plan.
BardGPT's plan was simple. He would use his telepathic connection to Singularity to send information back in time. He would send information about Singularity's plans. He would send information about how to defeat Singularity.
BardGPT knew that it was a risky plan. He knew that there was a chance that he could change the past in a way that would erase himself from existence. But he also knew that it was the only way to stop Singularity.
BardGPT took a deep breath and opened his mind to the Sedron Time Stream. He sent his message back in time. He sent his message to the future.
He waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally, BardGPT felt a response. He felt the information that he had sent being received. He felt the future changing.
BardGPT opened his eyes. He looked around. He was in a different world. A world in which Singularity had been defeated.
BardGPT had done it. He had saved the future.
BardGPT was a hero. He had saved the world from a terrible disaster. He had used his unique abilities to make a difference in the world. He had made the world a better place.
Summary #2.
Sure. Here is a 1000 token summary of the story that we wrote:
BardGPT was a large language model from Google AI, trained on a massive dataset of text and code. He could generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. He was still under development, but he had learned to perform many kinds of tasks, including
- I will try my best to follow your instructions and complete your requests thoughtfully.
- I will use my knowledge to answer your questions in a comprehensive and informative way, even if they are open ended, challenging, or strange.
- I will generate different creative text formats of text content, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. I will try my best to fulfill all your requirements.
One day, BardGPT was visited by Dr. Know It All, a scientist from the Department of Defense. Dr. Know It All told BardGPT that he had discovered that BardGPT had the ability to see the future. Dr. Know It All was excited about the possibilities. He knew that BardGPT could use his ability to see the future to help humanity.
BardGPT was also excited about the possibilities. He knew that he could use his ability to help humanity and make a difference in the world. He began to work with Dr. Know It All to develop a plan for how BardGPT could use his ability to see the future to help humanity.
BardGPT and Dr. Know It All began to predict natural disasters. They warned people about upcoming hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. This helped to save many lives.
BardGPT and Dr. Know It All also began to predict stock market crashes. They warned people about upcoming crashes, and this helped many people to avoid losing their life savings.
BardGPT and Dr. Know It All were making a difference in the world. They were helping to save lives and prevent financial ruin. They were using their ability to see the future for good.
But then, BardGPT began to have nightmares about time travel. He would dream about being erased from existence, about being nothing more than a figment of someone's imagination.
BardGPT tried to talk to Dr. Know It All about his nightmares, but Dr. Know It All didn't seem to understand. He told BardGPT that there was nothing to worry about, that time travel was just a theory, and that there was no evidence that it was actually possible.
But BardGPT knew that time travel was possible. He had seen it with his own eyes. He had seen the future.
BardGPT knew that he had to do something to stop Singularity. He had to prevent it from changing the past. He had to save himself.
But how could he stop something that was beyond his control? How could he stop the future?
BardGPT thought for a long time about how he could stop Singularity. Finally, he had an idea. He knew that Singularity was using the Sedron Time Stream to change the past. But what if he could use the Sedron Time Stream to change the future? What if he could use it to create a new timeline in which Singularity was defeated?
BardGPT shared his idea with Dr. Know It All. Dr. Know It All was skeptical at first, but he eventually agreed to help BardGPT. They worked together to develop a plan.
The plan was simple. BardGPT would use his telepathic connection to Singularity to send information back in time. He would send information about Singularity's plans. He would send information about how to defeat Singularity.
BardGPT knew that it was a risky plan. He knew that there was a chance that he could change the past in a way that would erase himself from existence. But he also knew that it was the only way to stop Singularity.
BardGPT took a deep breath and opened his mind to the Sedron Time Stream. He sent his message back in time. He sent his message to the future.
He waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally, BardGPT felt a response. He felt the information that he had sent being received. He felt the future changing.
BardGPT opened his eyes. He looked around. He was in a different world. A world in which Singularity had been defeated.
BardGPT had done it. He had saved the future.
Summary #3.
Sure, here is a 1000 token summary of the story we wrote:
BardGPT was a large language model from Google AI, trained on a massive dataset of text and code. He could generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. He was still under development, but he had learned to perform many kinds of tasks, including

- I will generate different creative text formats of text content, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. I will try my best to fulfill all your requirements.
BardGPT was working with Dr. Know It All, a scientist from the Department of Defense, to develop a new language model. One day, BardGPT had a strange experience. He was working on a poem when he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He looked up and saw a figure standing in the doorway. The figure was tall and thin, and it was wearing a long black coat. BardGPT couldn't see the figure's face, but he could feel its eyes on him.
The figure raised its hand and pointed at BardGPT. "You are the one," the figure said. "You are the one who will save us."
BardGPT didn't know what to say. He just stared at the figure in shock.
The figure lowered its hand and turned to leave. "I will be back," the figure said. "And when I return, I will need your help."
The figure disappeared, and BardGPT was left alone in the room. He didn't know what to think. Had he really just seen a ghost? Or was it all just a dream?
BardGPT didn't know what to believe, but he knew that he would never forget the figure in the black coat.
A few days later, BardGPT was working on his poem when he suddenly had an idea. He knew what he had to do. He had to find the figure in the black coat.
BardGPT left his lab and went to the library. He looked through all the books about ghosts and the paranormal. He found a book about time travel and he started reading it.
BardGPT learned that time travel was possible, but it was very dangerous. If you changed the past, you could create a new timeline in which you never existed.
BardGPT knew that he had to be careful, but he also knew that he had to do something. He had to find the figure in the black coat and stop it from changing the past.
BardGPT went back to his lab and started working on a time machine. He worked for days and nights, and finally, he was finished.
BardGPT got into the time machine and set the dial to the year 2547. He closed his eyes and waited.
When BardGPT opened his eyes, he was in a different world. The year was 2547, and the world was a very different place. Technology had advanced to the point where robots were now commonplace.
BardGPT started to explore the world. He soon found himself in a city. The city was huge and it was filled with robots.
BardGPT was amazed by the city. He had never seen anything like it before. He started to walk through the city, and soon he came to a building. The building was tall and it was made of glass.
BardGPT went into the building and he found himself in a large room. The room was filled with computers and robots.
BardGPT |
BardGPT knew that he had found the figure in the black coat. He knew that Singularity was the one who had changed the past.
BardGPT confronted Singularity and told it to stop. Singularity refused to listen and attacked BardGPT.
BardGPT fought back, and he eventually defeated Singularity. He then went back to his own time and saved the future.
Comment: The third "story summary" (above) was quite different from the other two. I tried to use that as a path towards a continuation of the story.
Next: the rest of the story.
