Is our new AI Genius or Cuckoo?

I decided to try Bard recently (Google’s answer to Chat GPT). Later I tried the same with Chat GPT.
These conversations below. Not only are they clearly wrong (a number of times) for this easily-verifiable question, they can’t even admit it in full later. (“S” is me, lest there be any confusion)


BARD

 I’m trying to think of an actor who was in Amadeus and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

There is no actor who appeared in both Amadeus and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Amadeus is a 1984 historical drama film about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, directed by Miloš Forman. It stars Tom Hulce as Mozart and F. Murray Abraham as his rival Antonio Salieri.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a 1975 American psychological comedy-drama film directed by Miloš Forman. It tells the story of Randle Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), a new patient at a mental institution who rebels against the head nurse, Mildred Ratched (Louise Fletcher).

The two films were both nominated for multiple Academy Awards, with Amadeus winning eight and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest winning five. However, no actor appeared in both films.

You are wrong

I apologize for the mistake. You are correct, there is an actor who appeared in both Amadeus and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. That actor is Danny DeVito. He played Martini in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and the Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus.

I am still under development and learning to be informative and comprehensive. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Danny devito did not play the emporer

You are correct. Danny DeVito did not play the Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus. He played the role of Martini in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. I apologize for the mistake. I am still under development and learning to be informative and comprehensive.

The actor who played the Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus is Jeffrey Jones.

 Vincent Schiavelli was in both movies

You are correct. Vincent Schiavelli played Fredrickson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Salieri’s valet in Amadeus. I apologize for the mistake. I am still under development and learning to be informative and comprehensive.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

(NOW I WANTED TO GET A MORE-EASILY PRINTABLE VERSION OF THE ABOVE, SO I COULD COPY & PASTE AND VIEW IT MORE EASILY…)

Was the above such a difficult question for the much-lauded Artificial “Intelligence” giants of 2023? If it did not know the answer, why not just admit it? …Or look it up? …Or, <gulp!> admit to not knowing, instead of giving a completely inaccurate answer?
Curious how neither give the same answer, but both give the same “type” of wrong answer – ie. Bard gives an actor from Cuckoo, who was not in Amadeus and ChatGPT gives a name from Amadeus, who was not in Cuckoo. ….Clearly they’re singing from the one hymn-book somewhere down the line. Hmm.
