Open AI ChatGPT Vs Google Bard AI - Which is the real deal?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots have gained popularity in recent years, with OpenAI introducing its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2020. Google, another major tech firm, has also entered the market with its Bard generative AI chatbot. OpenAI, supported by Microsoft, and Google's Bard are currently the two leading contenders in the market. Both chatbots are continually being updated to improve their capabilities. In this article, we compare the two leading contenders to determine which AI chatbot is better and why.
UI (User Interface)
When it comes to the UI, Bard AI appears to be simple, but at the expense of relevant information. ChatGPT has more information that could aid usage. There is no clear winner in this category as the choice will vary from person to person.
Accuracy of Replies
ChatGPT has come under scrutiny as the entire AI model was trained on datasets through September 2021. Therefore, if you use the AI chatbot, you may receive out-of-date and false replies. Bard has an edge in this regard, as it provides more up-to-date information. For example, ChatGPT referred to Pathaan as "an upcoming Indian film," while Bard provided three full replies that confirmed the movie had already been released, showing the movie's title and lead actors.
Response Time
While ChatGPT provided better and more in-depth responses in real-time, Google's Bard made three drafts in less than 8 seconds. Therefore, ChatGPT wins the prize for response time.
Language Models
Different language models were used in the training of ChatGPT and Bard. Bard is based on LaMDA and is built to conduct more natural conversations than ChatGPT, which can output a wide variety of text for many different applications. Bard provides a more personalized experience, creating the feeling that there is a human at the other end of the conversation.
Conclusion
Google’s Bard offers a more recently updated knowledge base compared to ChatGPT, which has only been trained by OpenAI through 2022. However, both chatbots have more advancements in store for the future, and there may be even more fierce competition between them. While ChatGPT appears to be faster, Bard AI is not entirely slow. Therefore, which chatbot to use eventually boils down to personal preference.
