Bard is powered by a research large language model (LLM), specifically a lightweight and optimized version of LaMDA, and will be updated with newer, more capable models over time. It’s grounded in Google's understanding of quality information. You can think of an LLM as a prediction engine. When given a prompt, it generates a response by selecting, one word at a time, from words that are likely to come next. Picking the most probable choice every time wouldn’t lead to very creative responses, so there’s some flexibility factored in. We continue to see that the more people use them, the better LLMs get at predicting what responses might be helpful.

Initial tests indicate a lot, and I mean a lot, coming from Wikipedia.

I ran a number of simple tests on both GPT-4 and Bard. At the moment, I suspect Bard is tuned right back to help avoid further embarrassment, following the launch faux pas.
