I, too, am very skeptical investing into Google's new products these days for the same reasons. That being said: I'd use Bard if it was cheaper or better than ChatGPT for one simple reason: These "Chat AI" services are transient. Meaning I ask a question, I get an immediate answer, and there is no long term saved state. So if I used Bard, then Bard got KilledByGoogle, I'm not "out" any built up capital (time, training, cost, etc). But from everything I've read Google is panicking and embarrassing themselves. Half-baked press conferences, half-baked blog posts, half-baked product launches. Nobody who has got into Bard is saying it is a ChatGPT competitor, and even Google's own launch blog they admit it has limits on two-way conversation depth (unlike ChatGPT).
