Bard is fast enough compared to ChatGPT (like at least 10x in my experience) that it's actually worth going to Bard first. I think that's Google's killer advantage here. Now they just need to implement chat history (I'm sure that's already happening, but as an Xoogler, my guess is that it's stuck in privacy review).

> I think that's Google's killer advantage here. Also it can give you up to date information without giving you the "I'm sorry, but as an AI model, my knowledge is current only up until September 2021, and I don't have real-time access to events or decisions that were made after that date. As of my last update..." response. For coding type questions, I use GPT4, for everything else, easily Bard.

  Have you used Bing? It's great for stuff up until a few days ago (not necessarily today's news), powered by GPT-4, and the results have been consistently much better than Bard for me.

In my testing it was faster with worse answers, and GPT spits out code only slightly slower than I can read it. I don’t care for “fast and wrong” if I can get “adequate and correct” in the next tab over.

  Ah, maybe that's a difference - I can read an answer of the size that ChatGPT or Bard in 1-2 seconds

    I read human language quickly, I’m talking about the rate at which I read code from the internet I’m about to copy and paste. Which is, and I’m my opinion should be, slow. But I agree for normal human language GPT needs to pick up the pace or have an adjustable setting.

Subscribing to OpenAI, GPT4 seems to go a bit faster than I would read without pushing for speed, and GPT3.5 is super fast, probably like what you're seeing with Bard. Not an apples to apples comparison if you're comparing free tiers, though, obviously.

If it caught on like chatgpt i wonder if it could maintain its fast speeds.
