OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s ChatGPT are the most popular AI chatbots currently. Google Bard is ChatGPT’s latest competitor. Both chatbots offer numerous features like natural responses to natural language inputs, creating responses by using machine learning, and different data points. Both OpenAI and Google admit that their chatbots are not perfect, and even though they have few similar traits, they have major differences.
Today we are going to discuss Google Bard vs ChatGPT and how they differ from each other:
Coding
The main reason behind ChatGPT’s popularity is how it can create complex code. ChatGPT can debug code as well. On the other hand, Google Bard is still in the learning code phase. That’s why, this feature is not available yet.
Content Creation
ChatGPT can highlight the important passages within the text and even summarize long articles, texts, and reports to shed light on basic ideas. But it has issues with detailed and long texts. Even though Google Bard does not offer most of these features, it is good at creative writing as it offers phrasal, word, and thematic suggestions that help with writing.
Language
ChatGPT can translate English into other languages. It knows numerous languages, such as Arabic, French, Japanese, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, and Spanish. But its primary language is English. ChatGPT’s proficiency in responses varies by language. Whereas, Google Bard can only speak in English and it is available in English only.
Automation of Customer Service
ChatGPT responds to customers in the FAQ format and is better at it than Google Bard. ChatGPT can handle queries about product returns, shipping schedules, and product/service availability easily and is ideal for lowering customer support costs and reducing the need for human customer representatives.
Google Bard is more suitable for giving reminders and time management tasks. It ascertains that every step of a procedure is followed in order. Google Bard can be a good alternative for tasks automation like travel arrangements and making reservations at a hotel or restaurant.
Responses
One of the main differences between ChatGPT and Google Bard is that Bard’s LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) can take responses right off the internet. Therefore, it has the latest responses. Moreover, Bard is integrated into Google’s search engine, so it can offer direct links to websites. ChatGPT, on the other hand, operates on Generative Pre-training Transformer-4 (GPT-4). Therefore, ChatGPT’s response to questions and queries is based on its knowledge till September 2021. So, ChatGPT is limited in terms of new research and information.
Plagiarism
ChatGPT has classifier checks for plagiarism. Google Bard does not have any built-in plagiarism mechanism. However, OpenAI reports that it is not fully reliable, and they are working on making ChatGPT better are differentiating between human-written and AI-written text.
Retain Conversation
ChatGPT can remember the previous chat. But it can remember up to 30,000 words only. Also, it doesn’t use past conversations to create responses. As for Google Bard, it has limited functionality to retain context but is expected to improve in the future.
Google recently announced its AI chatbot Google Bard, and it directly competes with ChatGPT. However, there are many areas where it can improve.
