Google made clear to us its commitment to the future of Artificial Intelligence platforms with the presentation of its conference I/O 2023 where he detailed in greater depth everything related to his new Bard platform. Obviously the comparisons were inevitable and we immediately wondered where the differences with respect to ChatGPT.
The AI of OpenAI has positioned itself as the most popular in the world at the moment, but Google it has the resources and the background to occupy a more predominant place in this sector that can be considered in its infancy but is gaining more and more strength.
Under such a scenario, what was revealed about PaLM 2, the Artificial Intelligence language model developed by Google capable of handling several languages, generating JavaScript and Python code more easily than GPT-4, caused a relative stir.
PaLM 2 is faster and more efficient, plus it can run locally on smartphones and tablets without relying entirely on the cloud. That system will be the basis for Google Bard, the generative AI chatbot that will compete directly against ChatGPT.
Let’s see what distinguishes each in general terms.
These are the main differences between Google Bard and ChatGPT
Perhaps the main point of reference so far is that ChatGPT In its latest version of free access, it is technically not up to date, since the collection of its knowledge only goes up to September 2021. While, Google Bard processes and offers information generated from the web in real time.
Ironically Bing Chat, which is based on the OpenAI system that gives life to ChatGPT is even more updated and is capable of integrating the sources from which it obtained the information in each generated content.
While Bard for its part does offer a list of links but it is not so immediate or so clear. Under this perspective, we can affirm that Bing and Bard would be much more transparent about what they generate and the origin of the data for the construction of their products. Although the Microsoft search engine is more direct.
ChatGPT and Bard are able to analyze specific websites or links to generate summaries. As well as follow instructions to generate some text response. But the Google platform turns out to be much more interesting, since it offers an answer, but also displays the drafts of other alternatives.
Under such a perspective we could affirm that the new AI actually provides more options and answers of greater range in its variety. Which represents a clear advantage over ChatGPT.

OpenAI’s AI is 100% textual, while Bard (and even Bing) allows you to receive dictation from requests. Even once the prompt is generated, it is possible to edit it in real time to polish it. Which is much more efficient than with ChatGPT.
Added to that is the ability to generate a response in a specific format document, such as .PDF or HTML, making everything a bit more efficient. Bing Chat for its part merges the Dall-e image generator, obtaining interesting results.
On top Bard can generate code and explain it. So its only current drawback is that at the moment everything has to be done in English.
In short, at this point Bing Chat may be more comfortable than ChatGPT and Bard is generally much more robust.
