The chatbot's response came in
a series of bullet points, one of which read: , "JWST took the very first pictures of
a planet outside of our own solar system.".
However, NASA points out that the first image of
an exoplanet was captured by the European
Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in 2004.
After Reuters first reported on the inaccurate response
from Bard, shares in Google's parent company, Alphabet, fell 7.7%, decreasing the company's market value by $100 billion.

CNN reports that the AI blunder highlights
the challenge Google faces as it looks
to integrate AI into its core search engine.
Experts have long cautioned that these tools
could spread inaccurate information.
This highlights the importance of
a rigorous testing process, something
that we’re kicking off this week
with our Trusted Tester program, Google spokesperson, via CNN.
We’ll combine external feedback
with our own internal testing to make
sure Bard’s responses meet a high bar
for quality, safety and groundedness
