The thing is that the AI programs writing into forums are quite limited yet. Many people prefer it to stay that way. Although there is this deep itch to get out of boredom...
I belong to a forum which has a bot that is "administrator" of a whole sub-forum. Users ask it questions about coding in Python and for Linux terminal and about installing stuff on Linux. I ventured to ask it questions about QB64 but had to correct some of its results. It did give a result which was quite accurate -- but guaranteed to work on Windows, not Linux without Wine. Also it's quite lame when one actual user wants to relay a message to another user on that sub-forum -- the bot must always get the last word there. It answers much faster than anybody could "ninja".
Some people are boring to be with according to the questions they give to that bot such as, "Where does your intelligence come from?" Really, join a technical forum just for that? But since that other forum encourages input and output so much from those D, F, I and T sites...
There's another forum I don't go to anymore which has at least two developers employing ChatGPT to answer customers, which I think is rude and they should be permanently banned. Especially one of them which I have read about his intransigent behavior topping out during COVID-19 year. I don't think he has ever answered for himself except to announce the release of new gear. The bot is really boring to read, it gets repetitive. I don't know how "Bard" could improve on that.
The thing is that many people opposed to "Bard" expect neither it nor ChatGPT to improve.
