The Battle Begins: Bard Challenges ChatGPT at Google I/O, Joined by the Surprising Competitor Anthropic Claude

In the vibrant landscape of AI, OpenAI's ChatGPT caused a real stir, demonstrating the power of truly engaging, human-like dialogue. This served as a wakeup call to tech colossus Google, making them realize they risked losing their grip on the search market. Faced with this challenge, Google hit the code red button. After their initial rushed product, Bard with Lambda, was not well received, Google went back to the drawing board.

Fast forward to Google I/O 2023, and Bard returned with PaLM 2, a newer and more powerful model. Trained on a larger dataset with more parameters, Bard with PaLM 2 was ready to reclaim its position in the AI arena. The question remained: Would Bard with PaLM 2 live up to the expectations? Let's delve deeper to find out.

Exciting Improvements and Unique Features:

Impressive speed, significantly enhancing the user experience.
Duet AI; an assistant integrated into Google's productivity tools.
Seamless internet connectivity without the need for plug-ins.
Ability to summarize content from YouTube/web links, adding a new dimension to its functionality.
Convenient export feature, allowing users to directly share generated content via Gmail or save as a document.
Enhanced accessibility with the addition of voice input.
Bard's ability to provide multiple responses, offering a diverse range of ideas and solutions to user queries, setting it apart from other chatbots, including ChatGPT.
Interestingly, while ChatGPT was already known for its code generation abilities, Google pushed Bard a step further. Not only could Bard generate code, it could explain why the code works, providing an invaluable learning tool for budding programmers.
One standout feature of Bard is its ability to provide multiple responses, offering a range of ideas and solutions to user queries. This makes it distinct from other chatbots, including ChatGPT.
Along with text inputs, you’re able to use images as inputs in Bard.

Despite these advancements, some users still preferred ChatGPT's creative abilities, demonstrating the varied preferences in the AI community.

Just as the Bard vs ChatGPT debate was simmering, a new challenger, Claude from Anthropic, entered the scene. Claude's distinguishing feature was its huge 75K word context window, a stark contrast to ChatGPT's 3K. However, Claude also demonstrated that size isn't everything, with some difficulties retaining the middle part of a conversation2.

However, the journey hasn't been entirely smooth. PaLM 2, while a versatile tool, encountered issues with language accuracy and potential bias. As the race between ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude intensifies, the emphasis on responsible and ethical development in AI is becoming more important than ever4. The future of AI is undoubtedly thrilling, with exciting developments and unpredictable turns around every corner.
