What’s new in Bard? Let us now look at what different Bard has to offer? Although both ChatGPT and Google’s platform are AI chatbots that provide answers to user’s prompt, ways in which Bard is different include:
- Ability to be customized: Bard carries the ability to be fine-tuned for certain applications or domains, like question-answering, customer support, and language translation.

To explain this better, here’s a screenshot of what Bard gave results for when asked the above question:
And this is what ChatGPT had to say to the same question ⬇️

Clearly, responses provided by Bard are of better quality! - Contextual awareness: Bard is capable of retaining context from past interactions, allowing it to offer more meaningful and engaging conversations.

The ‘other-side’
While Bard is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, there are some limitations to it, here’ what you should know:
Limitations of Bard:
May not be 100% reliable: Although trained to generate responses that are relevant to the context and in line with users’ intent, Google mentioned that Bard can at times generate responses that include inaccurate or misleading information even though it is confident about what it is presenting. At times, the platform offers generic information that it picks up from various online sources.
When we asked ChatGPT the same question, it gave us straight up answers, helping us narrow our research. ⬇️
Can develop a ‘personality’: Yes, you read it right. In an article1, Google mentioned that Bard can at times generate responses that seem to suggest that it has opinions or emotions since it has been trained on a language that people globally deploy to reflect human experience.
However, to keep that in check, Google stated that it has developed certain guidelines as to how Bard may represent itself and continue to finetune the model to provide neutral responses.
Bard capable of plagiarizing text????: Reports2 claim that while testing Google’s chatbot, the response in most cases was close to that found on certain websites. And to top it all, Google has admitted to committing plagiarizing content! This could be a major issue for writers.
Well we certainly don’t have a favorite, each AI chatbot differs from one another and has something different to offer, whether it is communicating through different languages via ChatGPT or offering updated write-ups with latest information through Bard, it is up to us to use these tools to our best advantage.
