A new chatbot tool called Google Bard was released in response to rival artificial intelligence (AI) systems like ChatGPT.
It employs a combination of machine learning and natural language processing to replicate human conversations while giving you accurate and practical answers to your concerns.
Smaller businesses who want to provide their clients with natural language support without paying huge teams of support workers may find these tools to be especially helpful. They can also be used to supplement Google’s own search tools.
What Is Google Bard?
Google’s response to ChatGPT is Google Bard. It’s an AI chatbot that performs many of the same tasks, but it’s also intended to someday supplement Google’s own search tools (much as Bing is doing with ChatGPT right now), offer automated help for customers, and connect with businesses in a way that feels human.
On February 6, 2023, Google Bard was unveiled for the first time, but it got off to a shaky start when it misspoke during a preview demonstration regarding the most recent discoveries revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope.
It stated that it was the first to capture a photo of an exoplanet outside of our solar system, but in reality, that was done much earlier.
The fact that Google Bard confidently displayed this false information led to harsh criticism of the program and analogies to some of ChatGPT’s shortcomings. In reaction, Google’s stock price dropped by a number of points.

ChatGPT Vs. Google Bard
Only a small number of beta testers have access to Google Bard, but a wider introduction is anticipated in the upcoming weeks and months. Following indications of ChatGPT’s successful development in the beginning of 2022, CEO Sundar Pichai first expedited the development of Google Bard. The positive news coverage ChatGPT has continued to receive in 2023 is only likely to have accelerated that.
It makes sense that ChatGPT might lose answers to time-sensitive inquiries given that the data set used to train it is only current through 2021. However, as we already noted, that disadvantage didn’t prevent it from outperforming the venerable Google search on the whole.
Naturally, Alphabet is currently putting a lot of pressure on the Bard. Microsoft’s early investment in the technology has allowed OpenAI’s capabilities to be shown in the Bing search engine previews.
Bing with assistance from OpenAI is also fully up to date and does not simply use data that was crawled prior to 2022. It’ll even give sources credit, which ChatGPT does not (but really ought do) (but should). Even the slow servers of OpenAI won’t be an issue. All of these reasons have roiled the Alphabet.
