In the world of AI, the battle between chatbots has intensified with the release of Google's Bard, the new rival to Microsoft-backed ChatGPT. But which one reigns supreme?

‍

ChatGPT uses GPT, a large language model, to produce human-like responses to various text-based inputs. In contrast, Google Bard uses LaMDA, a sophisticated language model that focuses on creativity and poetic expression to make different types of content. While both bots strive to generate responses that sound like human speech, their approaches differ.

ChatGPT is the more versatile of the two. It is a jack-of-all-trades that can handle a wide range of tasks, from answering trivia questions to carrying out customer service interactions. On the other hand, Google Bard is more specialised in its ability to create creative content, such as high-quality poems, scripts, and music, and as of now, is a separate product from Search.

So, which chatbot is right for you? It ultimately depends on what you need. If you require a chatbot that can handle a wide range of tasks, ChatGPT is the better option. But if you need a chatbot to generate high-quality creative content, then Google Bard is your go-to.

We know that ChatGPT's training data predominantly dates back to 2021, while Google Bard has the potential to use current information for its responses, giving it an edge in up-to-dateness. However, the recent launch of GPT plugins will give ChatGPT an even greater edge in the race, allowing it to do more than ever with its own plugins, including a web browser and code interpreter. This is a game-changer for businesses and individuals looking to harness the power of AI technology to improve their operations and achieve their goals.

ChatGPT is optimised for answering conversational queries, making it an excellent choice for chatbots handling a wide variety of customer inquiries-and it is now integrated into Bing's search results, enabling it to address more conversational searches.

Google Bard has similar functionality and may be used in the same way, but it is designed to enhance Google's capabilities exclusively. Unlike Bing Chat, Google Bard currently exists as a separate product.


But Google isn't resting on its laurels either. The tech giant has invested nearly half a billion dollars in AI startup Anthropic, which has already gained recognition for its unique approach to developing AI tools. With Google's deep pockets and focus on innovation, it's only a matter of time before we see what Google Bard can do.
