LOL (and sorry in advance for hijacking your thread)...

Upside down cake literally sounds a bit strange in German. But it corresponds to what we call a "NAPFKUCHEN" in German-speaking countries.
Funnily enough, however, this sums up exactly the current state of development of the operating system literally translated into German:
Everything that was valid until now is being turned completely upside down. Necessary functions are being restricted to such an extent that they are no longer usable, all in the service of security. Who, for example, gives Google the right to delete continuously granted permissions for apps used daily on my device without being asked? This and many other little things are absolutely not expedient, but are then immediately undermined for "important" developers on request, so that widely used programmes continue to function. The rest of the flock of programmers is left to fret and fail in ever different places.
I had a vague hope that the developers had finally realised what crap they were actually releasing with each new Android release. I fear not.
There is a saying in German:
"Smile, because things could get a lot worse...".
(I smiled, and it got much worse...)

Of course, it is still under Development stage.

I treat these AI's like a Newtons Cradle, fun to play with but actually quite useless.

If you're using Bard as a person new to programming and B4X, then Bard will only confuse you. But if you program in B4X, Bard can give some quick boiler plate code that, with some modification, you can use. That's how I see Bard's utility now.

As to the future of AI and programming, the TV show The Ark had an interesting take on it. Someone complimented a young genius on her programming skills. She replied that the AI actually wrote the program after receiving her input parameters for the program. The young individual still understood coding (could read code) and what it does (and could program), but had AI do the bulk of the coding.

quick boiler plate code
So, it may be usable as generator of a full algorithm for the app on a selected platform.
But if you already tried B4X's crossplatform way, .... these neuro-bots are not needed... IMHO.

Just for fun, I asked Bard to code quick sort in B4X. It did a decent enough job that with a few changes, I had a B4X cross platform version. No, Bard did not produce perfect code, but good enough code that was easily fixed. It definitely was faster than a) me remembering how the algorithm worked** b) looking up the algorithm and coding from scratch or c) adapting another's languages version to B4X.

** Yeah, I guess I'm flunking all the coding entrance exams with this admission
