Google vs OpenAI: 10 things Bard can do that ChatGPT can't
Google recently launched its AI chatbot, Bard, which is now available in over 180 countries. The release of Bard comes at a time when OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, has been making remarkable progress in responding to prompts in natural language. Here are ten ways that Google Bard is improving the AI chatbot experience and overshadowing OpenAI’s creation.
1. Internet Access
By default, ChatGPT does not come with access to the internet. On the contrary, Google Bard comes with internet access giving it an edge over its OpenAI counterpart. Bard is trained on a massive dataset of text and code that also includes information from the internet. This allows the chatbot to answer questions in a comprehensive and informative manner.
2. Mobile Version
Perhaps, the biggest disadvantage of ChatGPT is its lack of a mobile version. While several users have been using ChatGPT via browsers on their smartphones, a dedicated application comes with the best of convenience. While Google Bard is not coming to your smartphone, the search giant has plans to integrate the chatbot into more Google apps and services, which make them accessible to smartphone users.
3. Image delivery
While ChatGPT is efficient at generating highly comprehensive text responses, it falls short when it comes to delivering images in response. However, Google Bard is capable of providing images in its text response.
4. Plugins
Google has announced that Bard will feature an array of plugins such as Walmart, Spotify, Uber Eats, Adobe Firefly, and a host of other Google Apps. This is similar to what OpenAI introduced in March 2022, but the distinction is that plugins on ChatGPT are only accessible to those having a subscription to ChatGPT Plus, a premium service that costs $20 a month.
5. Image Prompts
Users can use images as prompts or even scan images via Google Lens to do the same. This is clearly a step forward in enhancing prompts on AI chatbots, which ChatGPT is far away from doing.
6. Voice Prompts
Google Bard seems to be the first AI chatbot to use voice prompts, clearly overtaking its peers.
7. Export functionality
This feature will prove to be an effective way to share results from Google Bard with friends and coworkers. Users will be able to export to Docs and Drafts in Gmail. With these export functions, composing emails would be hassle-free.
8. Live Search Results
Google Bard allows greater control to users when it comes to validating the information they are seeking. With every response along with the like, dislike, and share, users also get an option to Google search their prompts. ChatGPT has no such mechanism to get live search results.
9. Integration with Gmail
One of the biggest advantages of Google Bard is its integration with Gmail. Having access to an AI chatbot in the mail will redefine email interactions, especially when it comes to professional interactions.
10. Programming languages support
When it comes to programming, Bard overshadows ChatGPT with its support for over 20 programming languages. The languages include C++, Python, Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, etc. According to Google, Bard will be able to help professionals with code generation, explanation, and debugging.
In conclusion, Google has left no stone unturned to ensure that it is offering the most advanced AI chatbot, which could change the chatbot world significantly.
