How to Use Google Bard: A ChatGPT Rival
Google is constantly developing new and innovative AI technologies, and one of its latest offerings is Google Bard. This AI chatbot is designed to rival popular chatbot ChatGPT, and it has a range of powerful features and benefits.
Like ChatGPT, Google Bard is an AI chatbot that can generate text in response to a wide range of questions and prompts. However, it is based on Google's own LLM (Large Language Model), known as LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications), which makes it a more powerful tool than many other chatbots currently on the market.
Getting Started with Google Bard
If you want to start using Google Bard, simply go to bard.google.com and log in with your Google account. Once you have agreed to the terms of service, you can begin using the chatbot.
To use Google Bard, simply type your prompt or question into the text field, and the chatbot will provide a response. Google Bard also provides a few random ideas to get you started, which can be useful if you're not sure what to ask.
Advanced Features of Google Bard
Google Bard has a range of advanced features that make it stand out from other chatbots. For example, with every response, Bard provides two other "drafts" of the same answer, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your needs. You can even click Regenerate drafts to have Bard attempt another answer.
All of your conversations with Bard are stored in a single scroll window, which can be exported to Gmail or Google Docs. If you're using Bard to code, you can export to Replit instead.
Lastly, there is a Dark Mode you can use, which can be accessed by clicking on the toggle in the bottom left of the sidebar.
Limitations of Google Bard
While Google Bard has many benefits, it does have some limitations. For example, it is labeled as an "experiment," and it is not recommended to use Bard's text output as a final product. Instead, it is best to use Bard's text generation as a starting place and to edit it as needed.
Additionally, Bard is prone to errors and inaccuracies, and it is unable to save chats. To access your conversations with Bard, you must export them before closing the window.
Comparing Google Bard and ChatGPT
Both Google Bard and ChatGPT use natural language models and machine learning to create their chatbots, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. ChatGPT is based on data that was mostly collected up until 2021, while Google Bard is able to use up-to-date information for its responses and can search the internet when asked. However, ChatGPT is particularly good at creative tasks and has greater potential to answer more questions in natural language at the moment.
In conclusion, Google Bard is a powerful AI chatbot that has the potential to rival ChatGPT. While it has some limitations, it has a range of advanced features and benefits that make it a valuable tool for anyone looking to generate text in response to a wide range of questions and prompts.
