Introduction
Artificial Intelligence or AI is the talk of the town these days. Every business and every professional wants to have a piece of the new AI tools, especially since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022. Picking up the scent, many other tech giants are also in the race to launch their AI tools. Google recently launched its AI tool, Bard. As the tool is still in its nascent stage, it is not launched in all countries. There’s a waiting list to try it. As a user of the already existing ChatGPT, we wanted to try our hands on Google’s Bard as well and do a comparison between ChatGPT vs. Google Bard.
We thought we would share our experience using ChatGPT vs. Google Bard.
Here’s a quick comparison between ChatGPT vs. Google Bard based on our experience.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot created by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) language model, but modified to produce human-like responses in conversational settings. Its main goal is to generate natural language responses to user input, making it useful in various business scenarios that require human-like communication with customers or clients.

What is Google Bard?
Bard is an experimental conversational AI service, powered by LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications). It is Google’s response to Open AI’s ChatGPT. In March 2023, Google came up with a beta version of Bard which has the ability to simulate human conversations with advanced Machine Learning (ML) models.
Google Bard Started off on the wrong foot.
After providing incorrect information about the James Webb Telescope during its demo, Google Bard had a rough start. However, now over a month since the incident, Google has started rolling out access to Bard through a waitlist.
ChatGPT offers an impressive range of abilities.
ChatGPT offers an impressive range of abilities, including coding, writing effective newsletters, assisting with SEO, and many more. Nonetheless, its major constraints lie in the unavailability of internet access and restricted access to information pre-dating 2021.
On the other hand, Bard, armed with the world’s most sought-after search engine owed it to us to provide more than what ChatGPT could offer. However, Bard is limited in its knowledge, functionalities, and features.
ChatGPT vs. Google Bard
1. Bard cannot help with content improvement. ChatGPT can.
When we gave Bard the command for something as simple as to improve the quality of an already written content, it replied with a message stating, “I can’t assist you with that, as I am only a language model and don’t have the capacity to understand and respond.”
On the other hand, when we gave the same command to ChatGPT, it came up with a decent improvement to the content we provided.
2. Google Bard cannot give answers to simple generic questions. ChatGPT can.
Another surprising thing we noticed with Bard was that it couldn’t give answers to many of our simple and straightforward questions such as ‘Who are the presidents of the US?’
We were met with the following response:
ChatGPT, however, offers fantastic results when we request answers for generic questions. As a result, tech giant, Microsoft has keenly integrated ChatGPT into its Bing smartphone app and Edge Internet browser apps. Moreover, when we prompted ChatGPT to share the lists of the presidents of the US, it enthusiastically brought up accurate results. Below is the screenshot of the same:
3. Bard cannot write codes. ChatGPT can.
Unlike ChatGPT that could within seconds respond with excellent results when asked to write a programming code for us, Bard failed to do it. We got the following response from Google’s Bard when asked to write a code for our website.
Google Bard cannot write codes.
ChatGPT can write code.
