Precisely my point I don’t think a lot of people will go back. Even somebody like me who’s willing to put several hours into trying to see how both work won’t do that for every blog post about an “improvement”.
Bard was rushed, and it shows. You only get one chance to make the first impression and they blew it.
- wilg 3y agoI don't think so for stuff like this, it kinda has to be built in public, and iteratively. If it gets good enough they'll surface it more in search and that'll be that.
- TX81Z 3y agoPartially agree with that sentiment but I don’t think it negates my point that they released something inferior because they were caught flat footed.
- LightBug1 3y agoCompetition is competition and I respect that. I'll use whatever is best in the moment. And if chatgpt start trying to network effect me into staying locked with them, I'll drop them like a bad date. Been there, done that. Never again. Ymmv
- jejeyyy77 3y agoWhat? After a year, they'll hear that Bard is really good at code assistance now and then they can try it again.
- antifa 3y agoI hope it's less than a year when I hear that Bard remembers your last chat on refresh or either one (Bard or OpenAI) implements folders...
- TX81Z 3y agoYes, but switching costs increase over time, especially with API integration, and it’s not like OpenAI isn’t also improving at what seems to be a faster rate. My code results on ChatGPT seemed to have gotten a real bump a few weeks ago. Not sure if it was just me doing stuff it was better at, or it got better. DuckDuckGo is closer to Google Search than Bard is to ChatGPT at this point, and that should be a concern for Google.
- gwd 3y agoI think there's a way in which ChatGPT is paying this, by having released GPT-3.5, rather than just waiting 6 months and releasing it with GPT-4 out of the gate. In this thread everyone is making a clear distinction, but in a lot of other contexts it ends up quite confused: people don't realize how much better GPT-4 is.
