Exploring Google Bard's Data Visualization Feature (Code Interpreter)
Summary
Google Bard gained a code interpreter feature that lets it run Python code to create charts and perform calculations. The feature works by executing code in a sandboxed environment (an isolated virtual computer), which users can trigger by asking Bard to visualize data or plot results. While exploring this sandbox, the author found it to be somewhat unreliable and less capable than similar features in other AI systems, with limited ability to run arbitrary programs.
