Google's "Bard AI" vs Open AI's "ChatGPT"

Google has made Bard, a fantastic AI chatbot, accessible in more than 180 nations. The tech behemoth has also expanded the user experience with a number of new features. The innovation takes place as OpenAI's ChatGPT spreads its exceptional capabilities across industries.
As a competitor to ChatGPT, which has been making great strides in responding to cues in natural language with incredibly thorough human-like answers, Google debuted Bard, an AI chatbot, in March. Since its release, Bard has grabbed the interest of numerous tech aficionados. Furthermore, similarities to ChatGPT are unavoidable.

On May 10, at the developers’ conference, Google opened Bard to the world and introduced a slew of upgrades to ensure that it stays ahead of the curve. Bard is free and can be accessed from https://bard.google.com/

Now that we have access to Bard and ChatGPT, let's have a look at how Google is developing their chatbot and is on the verge of beating OpenAI's design.

What Bard can offer but ChatGPT can't. Lets see below- 

1. Bard and the power of the Internet

By default, ChatGPT does not include internet connectivity. One might need to have access to the web-browsing feature in order to use the internet. Instead, Google Bard has Internet connection, providing it an advantage over its OpenAI rival. A sizable dataset of text and code, as well as data from the internet, is used to train Bard. As a result, the chatbot can respond to queries in a thorough and instructive way. It can provide you with the most recent news as well as information from the Internet.

We tried asking Bard to display the day's most important news. Even though it provided a list of the most important happenings, some of the news stories were inaccurate. It should be remembered that Bard is currently in the testing stage. Right under the text input box, the chatbot's disclaimer, "Bard may display inaccurate or offensive information that doesn't represent Google's views," can be seen.

2. Bard will be available on your smartphone

Because ChatGPT does not currently have a smartphone version, accessibility may be its major drawback. Although many people have been using ChatGPT on their cellphones through browsers, the best convenience is provided by a specialised application. Although Google Bard won't be available on smartphones anytime soon, the search engine company has ambitions to incorporate the chatbot into other Google services and apps, making them available to smartphone users.

3. Images as response

Although ChatGPT excels at producing incredibly detailed text responses, it falls short when it comes to presenting visuals. This might possibly be the case because OpenAI offers other features like Dall-E that can produce images. Google Bard can, however, include photos in its written response. Although Google demonstrated this functionality during the I/O event demo, it did not display any photos when we used prompts like "best places to visit in Kerala." It's possible that the feature is being introduced gradually.

4. Bard comes with a host of plugins

According to Google, Bard will have a variety of plugins, including those from Walmart, Spotify, Uber Eats, Adobe Firefly, and a number of other Google Apps. It should be noted that similar plugins for ChatGPT were released by OpenAI in March of this year. The only difference here is that individuals who have a subscription to ChatGPT Plus, a premium service that costs $20 per month, are the only ones who can access plugins on ChatGPT.

5. Prompt using images

This is arguably Bard's most notable quality. Users will be able to perform the same task by using photographs as prompts or even by scanning them using Google Lens. For instance, a user can click a photo and ask Bard for help if they are stuck with craft supplies and do not know how to utilise them. The chatbot will immediately suggest craft projects. Clearly, this advances the prompting capabilities of AI chatbots.

6. Voice prompts

While Google's Bard appears to be providing image and speech prompts to its customers, ChatGPT does not. While multitasking, using voice prompts to get responses might be practical. Voice prompting on an AI chatbot may be employed for the first time in this instance, easily surpassing the competition.

7. Export findings to Docs and Gmail

This function will show to be a useful method of distributing Google Bard results to friends and coworkers. Users will be able to view the like, dislike, and share buttons beneath each response. The share button will include the Gmail draughts and export to docs choices. It would be simple to compose emails with these export features. Bard comes with export functionality by default, although ChatGPT has a number of addons for similar functionalities.

8. Enhanced Search

Users have more influence over Google Bard when it comes to verifying the information they're looking for. Users have the opportunity to Google Search their prompts with each response in addition to the like, dislike, and share buttons. Simply clicking the Google icon will reveal a box with search terms related to the selected topic. When you click on the themes, a new page will open up with standard search results. As of right now, ChatGPT lacks a system for getting real-time search results.

9. The effectiveness of Gmail

The fact that Google Bard will be linked with Gmail may be one of its main benefits. Over 2 billion people already use email, and the inclusion of an AI chatbot will change how people engage with emails. This function might be useful in business dealings. Google Bard can quickly write a proposal or send an invitation in Gmail.

10. Bard for software development

Bard's support for more than 20 programming languages puts it ahead of ChatGPT in the programming world. C++, Python, Java, TypeScript, and JavaScript are just a few of the languages mentioned. Bard will be able to aid experts with code generation, explanation, and debugging, claims Google. ChatGPT is still working on mastering this. You might be better off using OpenAI's Codex for that.

The era of chatbots driven by artificial intelligence is arrived. The most cutting-edge and potent iterations of their AI chatbots have been vying for attention from Microsoft, Google, and Meta. While OpenAI's ChatGPT, which debuted in September 2022 and instantly became a global sensation, started this competition, it now appears like Google is going above and beyond to make sure that it is providing the most cutting-edge AI chatbot.
