I asked Bard "How is Bard different from ChatGPT?"

This is it's response:

ChatGPT and I are both large language models (LLMs) capable of many of the same feats, but we also have some key differences:

Data and Training:

• Data Sources: I'm trained on a dataset chosen to enhance my dialogue and coding abilities, including scientific papers, code, and factual information. ChatGPT's training data focuses more on general web text and creative writing.
• Underlying Model: I utilize Google's PaLM 2 (Pathway Language Model) architecture, known for its factual accuracy and reasoning skills. ChatGPT relies on OpenAI's GPT-3 model, generally acknowledged for its creative storytelling and writing capabilities.

Capabilities:

• Fact-Checking and Information Retrieval: My access to the internet (free for all users) lets me stay updated and retrieve relevant information for factual queries. ChatGPT's free version lacks direct web access, potentially impacting its response accuracy on such topics.
• Output Variation: I can generate multiple responses for a prompt using Beam Search, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your needs. ChatGPT currently sticks to a single output per prompt.
• Coding and Technical Tasks: My training on code and mathematical expressions makes me more adept at handling technical tasks and understanding scientific concepts. ChatGPT might struggle with these more specialized areas.

Accessibility and Usage:

• Cost: Currently, I'm completely free to use for everyone. ChatGPT offers a free tier with limited features, but advanced functionalities require a paid subscription.

Overall:

Think of me as a research assistant and factual companion, while ChatGPT shines in creative writing and storytelling. Choosing between us depends on your specific needs:

• For factual accuracy, staying updated, and handling technical tasks, I'm a strong contender.
• If creative writing, generating different writing styles, or exploring fictional narratives are your priorities, ChatGPT might be a better fit.

Ultimately, the best LLM for you depends on your specific goals and preferences. Feel free to experiment with both of us and see who meets your needs better!
