OpenAI ChatGPT vs. Google Bard 

 

  v.s.  

In the comparison made by asking the same physics questions to OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard, it was observed that Google Bard is very fast (~3 sec) but its results are especially incorrect for numerically solved questions. Particularly, OpenAI's ChatGPT is quite slow (~140 sec), especially in numerical and even vector solutions, but it can mostly produce correct results, although in some questions, it was observed that it gives incorrect results, especially in the final step calculations. It has the ability to produce vector solutions for vector questions and can provide the result in vector format, using unit vectors if desired. However, it should be noted that the proper and mathematical definition of the problem (exponential expressions, logarithmic expressions, dot and vector products, etc.) is crucial for producing the correct result, which has been observed in different problem-solving scenarios.

However, it has not been possible to make a comparison in terms of text and translation topics because Google Bard states, "As an LLM, I have been trained to understand and respond only to a subset of languages, and I cannot assist with this. Please refer to the Bard Help Center for an up-to-date list of supported languages."

Google wants user feedback about Bard

“Bard is experimental, and some of the responses may be inaccurate,” Google pointed out. The team at Google even poked fun at some of Bard’s suggestions in its own announcement post.

Google also emphasized privacy. The version of Bard that was available through the wait list couldn’t answer questions about what happened earlier in a conversation between itself and a human, for example. According to the Bard FAQ, Google purposely limited Bard’s “ability to hold context.” Google is asking for users to send feedback on Bard’s responses.

In an internal email viewed by CNBC, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai told employees, “Things will go wrong. But the user feedback is critical to improving the product and the underlying technology.”

Google is competing with Microsoft and OpenAI

Google Bard’s big name competitor is OpenAI’s ChatGPT. So far, ChatGPT has the advantage of already being able to write basic code, expanding its enterprise applications significantly.

Microsoft’s Bing search uses OpenAI’s GPT-4, the large multimodal model on which ChatGPT is built. ChatGPT is currently available with a subscription to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus.

Startup Anthropic, which has gained funding from Google, has its own AI assistant, Claude. Anthropic is playing in the search engine space with a partnership with DuckDuckGo while using Google as a cloud provider.

What tech leaders should consider before using AI

Chat assistance made with large language model AI have faced criticism for returning answers that are easily parsed but factually incorrect. There are also some concerns about the job training AI requires outweighing the productivity benefits, or AI content replacing human-made work and, therefore, limiting numbers of available jobs. Business leaders should take into account whether generative AI is appropriate for their workplace culture as well as whether it improves productivity.
