Benefits compared to ChatGPT
There are notable differences between ChatGPT and Bard despite the fact that both are chatbots. Google Bard is completely free whereas ChatGPT charges for using its higher, feature-rich version GPT-4.
ChatGPT only has access to publicly available data whereas Bard can also use licensed data.
One of the biggest limitations of ChatGPT is that it answers questions from data from 2021 and before whereas Bard gives you real-time information from Google Searches.
With Bard, you can view multiple responses for your answers. The answers mostly show the relevant links as well that you can instantly click to get more information.
