Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, and OpenAI ChatGPT are all large language models (LLMs) that have been trained on massive datasets of text and code. They can all generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. However, there are some key differences between the three models.

Google Bard is the most recent of the three models and is still under development. It is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which allows it to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. However, Bard can sometimes be inaccurate or biased in its responses.

Microsoft Bing is the oldest of the three models and is based on the GPT-4 technology. It can generate text, translate languages, and answer your questions in an informative way. However, Bing is not as creative as ChatGPT or Bard.

OpenAI ChatGPT is the most creative of the three models. It is based on the GPT-3 technology and can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. However, ChatGPT can sometimes be inaccurate or biased in its responses.

Ultimately, the best LLM for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you're looking for an LLM that is accurate, informative, and creative, then ChatGPT is a good option. If you're looking for an LLM that is still under development but has a lot of potential, then Bard is a good option. And if you're looking for an LLM that is easy to use and has a lot of features, then Bing is a good option.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between the three models:

It is important to note that all three models are still under development and are constantly being improved. As they continue to evolve, it is likely that the differences between them will become less pronounced (Google, 2023).

Note from your Librarian: when Bard was asked this same question a few months prior, it stated unequivocally that Bard was the best. Is it a good thing that Bard seems to have learned humility?

response from BING AI

That’s an interesting question. According to some articles I found on the web¹²³⁴, each chatbot has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on what you are looking for.

ChatGPT is the most verbally dextrous, meaning it can generate novel and human-like responses to a variety of queries and conversations. It can also write essays, poems, stories, and other creative content. However, it may not always be accurate or reliable, and it cannot access real-time data from the web (unless you have a special plug-in).

Bing is best for getting information from the web, as it can access and cite sources for its responses. It can also generate images based on your queries, which is a unique feature among the chatbots. However, it may not be as creative or engaging as ChatGPT, and it requires you to use Microsoft’s Edge browser.

Google Bard is the most concise and fast, giving less text-heavy responses that are easy to read. It uses Google’s own model, called LaMDA, which is designed to handle open-ended conversations. However, it is also the least reliable among the chatbots, as it often makes factual errors or gives irrelevant answers. It is also currently in an invite-only beta, so it may not be widely available.

So, depending on your needs and preferences, you may find one chatbot more helpful than the others. I hope this helps you make an informed decision.😊 (Microsoft, 2023).

response from ChatGPT

Comparing Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, and OpenAI ChatGPT is challenging because they serve different purposes and have different strengths. Here's an overview:

1. Google Bard: As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Google Bard does not exist as a specific AI model or product. It is possible that new developments have occurred after that time, and I may not be aware of them. If Google Bard is a recently introduced AI model, I apologize for the lack of information on its specific capabilities and characteristics.

2. Microsoft Bing: Bing is a widely used web search engine developed by Microsoft. It aims to provide relevant search results and assist users in finding information, images, videos, news, and more. Bing focuses on delivering comprehensive search functionality, leveraging Microsoft's vast search index and algorithms to help users discover and explore content on the internet.

3. OpenAI ChatGPT: ChatGPT, which is the AI model I'm based on, is a conversational AI language model developed by OpenAI. It is designed to engage in interactive conversations, answer questions, provide explanations, and assist with various tasks. ChatGPT aims to offer human-like interactions and facilitate natural language understanding across a wide range of topics.

Determining which one is the "best" depends on your specific needs:

• If you primarily require web search functionality and finding information on the internet, Bing is a well-established search engine.
• If you are looking for an AI conversational agent to engage in interactive conversations and provide general-purpose assistance, ChatGPT is a suitable choice.
• If there have been new developments or releases related to Google Bard that I'm not aware of, it would be worth researching and evaluating its capabilities to determine if it meets your specific requirements.

It's important to keep in mind that the "best" option depends on your specific needs and preferences, as well as the context in which you intend to use these tools (OpenAI, 2023).
