I don’t really see why anyone would use this unless they’ve been in a coma for the past few months and never heard of ChatGPT.

I don’t really see why anyone would use this unless they’ve been in a coma for the past few months and never heard of ChatGPT.
- rexbee 3y agoBard seems to use current data whereas Chatgpt stops at 2021. Bard is also significantly faster at returning responses.
- godzillabrennus 3y agoBeing trained on more up to date data and being faster are irrelevant when returning responses that aren’t as useful. Google has catching up to do.
- danpalmer 3y agoWell right now it's just another website you have to go to with intent to use it like ChatGPT, but if Google built it into search it would get a ton of organic use from people doing things like googling error messages. I'm not sure if this is what is planned of course, but that would be far more widely used than an otherwise siloed website you have to visit specifically. Also remember that most people have at least never used ChatGPT, and most probably still haven't heard of it. We live in a tech bubble – none of my family had heard of it a few weeks ago. They all use Google search on a daily basis.
- benatkin 3y agoThink of ChatGPT as Breaking Bad and Bard as Better Call Saul.
- quadrature 3y agoIt's good to have more competition in the space. An AI space race between Google and OpenAI could be really interesting.
- ShamelessC 3y agoCompetitions have winners and losers.
- jeffbee 3y agoI try to glance at both, but because I do that I know that ChatGPT has severe availability problems, whereas Bard so far has not failed for me. And Bard is much faster even though superficially it can seem slower because ChatGPT blurts out the first word more quickly.
- r0m4n0 3y agoWhy does competition exist ever? I think there are trade offs for everyone to consider before they blindly assume one will be the better option for every use case forever
