Google employees have expressed their fears regarding the company, saying it was cutting corners as it was trying to compete with ChatGPT. A worker even concluded that Google's AI solution, Bard, was a "pathological liar."

This came as an employee found Bard giving bad answers to important queries like "how to land a plane." It was reported that Google's AI tool regularly gave advice that would "lead to a crash."

Another query showed how when they asked Bard about scuba diving, the answers given could cause death or even serious injuries. Per 18 current and former Google employees, low-quality information was being fed just so that they could compete.

The employees also noted that the ethics commitments received less priority. Signal Foudnation president Meredith Whittaker gave a statement on the situation, commenting on how AI ethics wasn't prioritized.

Whittaker: "AI ethics has taknen a back seat... If ethics aren't positioned to take precedence over profit and growth, they will not ultimately work."

When asked by Bloomberg regarding the issues surrounding AI, Google's spokesperson, Brian Gabriel, gave a statement regarding what the company is doing.

Gabriel: "We are continuing to invest in the teams that work on applying our AI Principles to our technology."
