I used it for the first time today too, for the same reason. It was slower and much worse at coding. I was just asking it for SQL aggregation queries and it just ignored some of my requirements for the query.

I have seen noticably worse results with Bard, especially with long prompts. Claude (by Anthropic) has been my backup to ChatGPT.

In my case, I was just asking it for a cheeky name for a talk I want to give in a few months. The suggestions it gave were of comparable quality to what I think ChatGPT would have given me.

  In my experience, Bard is much, much better at creative things than at things that have correct and incorrect answers.

    I subscribe to the belief that, for a chat model with the same parameters, creativity will be proportional to tendency to hallucinate, and inversely proportional to the factual answers. I suspect an unaligned model, without RLHF, wouldn't adhere to this.

ChatGPT was down, so of course it'd be slower. And possibly that accounts for some quality loss as well. For a fair comparison, you probably need to try while ChatGPT is working.

  The extension with gpt4 as a backend was ime extremely slow as standard. I've not tried it again with the v7 model though which is supposed to be a lot faster

    Yeah but Google missed the boat when it came to hardware accelerators specifically meant for LLMs (their proprietary TPUs aren't optimized for LLMs) so it's just a matter of whether Google or Microsoft paid Nvidia more. In the current cost cutting climate at Google I doubt the answer is so certain.

    Idk I think there's a bit of a difference between a session for some basic website vs machine learning stuff. The base perf cost per user is muuuuuch higher for ML.
