To compete with ChatGPT’s popularity, Google is introducing Bard Extensions, which will allow users to access Google data, and a feature to address incorrect responses.

Google is trying to gain more user trust by making Bard admit when it’s unsure or doesn’t give satisfactory results.

Competition of Bard vs ChatGPT

ChatGPT has gained immense popularity worldwide and is now among the top 30 websites globally. It entered the AI language model market early thus enjoying significant success. On the other hand, Google’s Bard is striving to catch up in the race with ChatGPT.

Google’s Bard excels in providing up-to-date information from the latest events, but ChatGPT’s free version, ‘GPT-3.5’, falls short in this aspect.

To access the latest information through ‘GPT-4’, we must subscribe to ChatGPT’s Plus premium plan which costs us $20 per month. This is an expense not which is not affordable for everyone. Bard is currently ahead by offering this latest information for free.

We appreciate the new developments of Google Bard including its latest features including Bard Extensions, integrations with other Google products and so on. Bard is consistently upgrading with numerous new features, but it still needs to improve more to meet our expectations.
