ChatGPT and Bard have their strengths in different areas. ChatGPT stands as a testament to the boundless capabilities of artificial intelligence. Chat GPT has shaken the tech world by storm. One of the main features of Chat GPT is its ability to communicate with the user conversationally. It can respond to prompts related to poems, novels, and jokes and even creates scripts and characters also.
Google was also quick to respond and launched Google Bard. Although Google Bard has a shaky start when it provides a wrong answer in its demo video. But it provides fair competition to ChatGPT, it can mimic human interaction and assist in copywriting tasks, solving math problems and generating code.
Both ChatGPT and Google Bard have the potential to revolutionize the way we search for information on the internet. The biggest question is which AI chatbot is better at performing certain tasks? Which one provides an accurate and easy-to-understand response?
Let’s dive into who will emerge victorious in the race for the best Artificial Intelligence chatbot. Let’s find out.
ChatGPT – ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by Open AI that uses GPT 3.5 and 4. It generates human-like text responses to the prompts in a conversational manner with the help of deep learning techniques. It knows various domains in its sphere and provides results with fluency and natural language generation. However, sometimes ChatGPT provides biased or inaccurate content. There can be various capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT such as conversational ability and lack of real-time knowledge.
Google Bard – Google Bard is an AI-powered chatbot developed by Google that offers answers to text prompts and stimulates human-like conversation with the help of natural language processing and machine learning. Bard is initially based on Language Model for Dialogue Applications(LaMDA) technology and later on Pathway Language Model(PaLM). It offers up-to-date answers to the prompts using the internet and provides in-depth answers to the open-ended question and easily explains complex information. It generally provides reliable information as it uses Google search and connects to the live internet for providing up – to date data. It also uses user feedback for improving its effectiveness and accuracy while providing results.
In this comparison, we will evaluate ChatGPT and Google Bard across different criteria
1. User experience (UX) – In terms of user experience Google Bard has an edge. It has a nice-looking and intuitive user-friendly interface. You can also easily edit your questions after asking and view multiple responses that it generates. Users can also google the response for checking its source and accuracy. ChatGPTs UI seems more cluttered as compared to Brad which has a more polished User Interface.
2. Pricing – ChatGPT- The basic version of ChatGPT is free and runs on GPT 3.5. ChatGPT Plus which runs on GPT4 can be accessed by users after paying 20$ per month. Users can unlock various features such as faster response time, accessing the ChatGPT even during peak times as well as exclusive access to GPT 4 and other latest updates and features. Google Bard is free. Google generally doesn’t charge for offering its products.
3. Text Generation – ChatGPT and Google Bard both generate informative and contextual text that includes summaries of information, essays, scripts, character development, and poems. Chat GPT is better at producing paragraphs and summaries on the other hand Google Bard has an edge in human–like conversations.
4. Access to the internet – ChatGPT’s responses are based on data collected up until 2021 and provide responses that are not up to date. On the other hand, Google Bard has access to the internet and provides up-to-date responses and recent answers to the question based on the latest research. Google Bard also has a small icon for Google search for searching related queries.
5. Human-like response – AI chatbot with a human-like response can be more successful. In terms of giving more human-like responses, Bard is better than ChatGPT. It can fluently mimic the natural language and have more open-ended conversations
6. Up-to-date response – ChatGPT provides results that are based on data collected up until 2021. It doesn’t have access to the internet and its entire datasets are trained up until September 2021. That’s where Google Bard has an upper hand as it provides up-to-date results.
7. Image Prompts – Google Bard will soon provide its users with the feature of using images as prompts. Users can use images with the help of Google lens. For example, if you want to write a topic for an image, you just have to upload the image with the prompt. The Google Bard will analyze the image and write a topic about the image. Google Bard will also soon launch features for generating images with text prompts. This feature will be powered by Adobe’s text-to-image generative tool – Firefly.
8. Integration – ChatGPT can be integrated with Microsoft products that are Bing, Edge and Team. Microsoft Edge will have a sidebar chat option with features like chat, compose content and provide insights. It enables condensing large amounts of data on web pages and makes more manageable summaries for better understanding.
Google will also enable its users to surf the web with the integration of AI-powered chatbots rather than a traditional search engine. Google has also announced that third-party developers will also be able to integrate Bard in the future for their work.
9. Coding – Google Bard can generate code, debug it and explains also. It can now write in 20 programming languages which include Java, C++, Javascript and Python. Bard can be really useful if you have just started learning programming as it can provide explanations to snippets of code. In a situation, Google Bard generates a code that doesn’t match the expectations and it is incomplete. The user is advised to double-check by typing “this code is not working, please fix it” for optimizing the code and making it more effective.
ChatGPT on the other hand can write and improve existing code in several programming languages. It can be a valuable tool for developers and learners in coding-related tasks. It can offer explanations in a conversational manner and help you understand programming concepts like variables, loops, conditionals and more. It can also help you find the syntax or usage of a specific programming language and saves a lot of time and effort.
ChatGPT can also be a valuable resource if you are stuck in a coding problem and trying to solve a particular task. It can review your code snippet and help identify inefficient code and offer suggestions and recommend better algorithms for improving the quality of your code. It can also suggest improvements, and highlight potential pitfalls for helping optimise your code.
Who is succeeding in the battle of the wits?
Initially, ChatGPT has taken the lead by delivering conversational-style answers and taking the tech industry by storm in a very short period. Google doesn’t take the competition lightly and launched Google Bard as it doesn’t want to leave the title of undisputed leader for many years.
Currently, ChatGPT is superior to Google Bard and outperforms it. The success of ChatGPT can be measured by the fact that it crossed 1 million users in just five days and 100 million users in 2 months. Google Bard is still in its initial and experimental stage and it can become better in a few months.
Conclusion – Both these ChatBots ChatGPT and Google Bard can generate human-like responses that can be used for a wide range of tasks. They both can comprehend natural language and respond to complex queries. Both ChatGPT and Google Bard excel in their different areas. ChatGPT has the ability in text processing such as summarization, paragraphs and making the topic easy to understand and comprehend. Google Bard on the other hand provides a more human-like response and it has user friendly interface and access to the internet for providing up-to-date information. These both chatbots are still in their initial stages and only time will tell who will become the ultimate AI Chatbot.
