ChatGPT took the lead in AI-generated content, and Google responded with Bard. While Bard and ChatGPT may perform similar tasks, they are not identical.
Natural language processing (NLP) is an exciting field of artificial intelligence that is transforming the way we interact with machines. Recently, two language models have been making waves in the NLP community: ChatGPT and Google Bard. But which one is better? Let's take a closer look.
ChatGPT by OpenAI debuted in November 2022 and quickly became an internet sensation. In a battle between the tech titans, Google has now introduced its own AI-powered chatbot.
After a user queries it, generative AI generates content using data from its machine learning model. AI generates content automatically to answer questions and create images, text, or videos.
People began looking for ways to use AI-generated content and AI technology for business, educational, and personal purposes after OpenAI launched ChatGPT. However, AI experts have warned that when information is gathered from incorrect data sources, it can muddle the content. There are advantages and disadvantages to generating content.
Microsoft has also recently announced a multi-year partnership with OpenAI to expand its AI capabilities.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a large language model trained by OpenAI, based on the GPT-3.5 architecture. It uses deep learning to understand and generate human-like responses, and it's trained on a massive dataset that enables it to understand complex language structures and nuances.
ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot that answers questions in a conversational dialogue using machine learning. On November 30, 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, ChatGPT reached 1 million users in five days.
GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, and it is used to find patterns in data sequences. ChatGPT currently employs the GPT-3.5 language model, which has been trained using human-generated text from the internet. ChatGPT Plus, the paid version, now employs the upgraded GPT-4 model. ChatGPT formulates responses to user queries using the AI language model.
One of the most impressive features of ChatGPT is its ability to generate human-like text. It has a wide range of applications, from chatbots and virtual assistants to content creation and language translation. It's also been the subject of several articles on Rexposed including a deep dive into how it's revolutionizing the language model industry here and a behind-the-scenes look at its technology here.
ChatGPT can write code, product descriptions, blog posts, email drafts,summaries of transcripts, meetings and podcasts, simple explanations of complex topics, law briefs, translations, social media posts and even jokes or memes.
What is Google Bard?
Google Bard is an AI-powered chatbot that uses Google's Language Model for Dialogue Applications to simulate human conversations using natural language processing and machine learning (LaMDA). Through this large language model, Bard provides more detailed answers to questions than a typical Google search. LaMDA's lighter and second version uses less computing power, allowing it to scale for more people to use and provide feedback.
Like digital assistants such as Alexa and Siri, Bard's main goal is to retrieve information in a simple answer rather than a search engine results page, but with links for users to gather more information. Bard also works as a personal assistant, assisting with tasks such as vacation planning, finding existing reservations, and meal planning. Bard searches using conversational or natural language queries rather than search engine keywords.
Main differences between ChatGPT and Google Bard
ChatGPT and Bard provide similar services, with users typing in a query to receive a human-like response.
Microsoft announced in February 2023 that it will release technology that will allow large corporations to create and customize their own chatbots using ChatGPT technology. Microsoft will also integrate AI-powered search functions into its Bing search engine and Edge browser, along with a chat experience, to help users with their searches. Google has not stated when it intends to integrate AI chatbot functionality into its search engine.
The primary distinction between ChatGPT and Bard is the data source. Bard constantly pulls information from the internet to ensure that it is up to date. ChatGPT's data sources end in 2021, so it lacks newer research and information. By accessing the most recent research, Bard has more data to gather information in real time.
For dialogue applications, Bard employs LaMDA, whereas ChatGPT employs GPT-3.5. To understand natural language, LaMDA was built on an open source network. It has been trained to look for patterns in sentences and between words in order to generate dialogue rather than individual words.
Bard generates more information in larger chunks, whereas ChatGPT generates content in a single text prompt.
Which is better?
It's difficult to say which chatbot is superior at this point because they're both in their early stages of development. ChatGPT generates and summarizes text requests quickly. Bard responds to questions more effectively and with more relevant information. As users provide feedback, these chatbots are still being trained, so there may be changes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, both ChatGPT and Google Bard are impressive language models that are pushing the boundaries of NLP. While ChatGPT has a wider range of applications, Google Bard's poetry generation is unique and innovative. Ultimately, the best language model for you depends on your specific needs and applications.
