Google made a big announcement on Monday about its latest AI innovation Bard. It is pitted against OpenAI’s popular language model ChatGPT. Bard was due to become widely publicly available in the coming weeks. However, it seems that Bard’s debut hasn’t gone exactly as planned.

In a demo video shared by Google demonstrating Bard’s capabilities, the AI chatbot was asked a question about the James Webb Space Telescope. A GIF shared by Google shows Bard being asked the question: “What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my 9 year old about?”
