ChatGPT Vs. Bard Vs. Bing: A Comprehensive Comparison of AI Chatbots

Chatbots have become an integral part of our daily lives, and with the advent of ChatGPT, the competition has become more intense. Along with ChatGPT, Google Bard and Bing Chat are two other chatbots that are making waves in the market. In this blog, we will compare and test ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing Chat to see which chatbot is better at this stage.

What Is The Difference Between ChatGPT, Google Bard, And Bing Chat?

Pricing:

• ChatGPT’s original version remains free to users. ChatGPT Plus is available for $20/month.
• Google Bard is free for users who joined the waitlist and are accepted.
• Bing Chat is free for users who are accepted after joining the waitlist.

API:

• ChatGPT provides an API, but on a waitlist.
• Google Bard and Bing Chat do not provide an API.

Developer:

• ChatGPT is developed by OpenAI.
• Google Bard is developed by Alphabet/Google.
• Bing Chat is developed by OpenAI.

Technology:

• ChatGPT uses GPT-4 technology.
• Google Bard uses LaMDA technology.
• Bing Chat uses GPT-4 technology, but it uses fine-tuning to tune responses for the end user.

Information Access:

• ChatGPT has been trained on data with a cutoff date of 2021. Although it won’t include real-time data, OpenAI has announced a browser plugin that can use real-time data from websites when responding back to you.
• Google Bard has real-time access to the data Google collects from search.
• Bing Chat has real-time access to Bing’s search data.

Wait! What Is GPT? What Is LaMDA?

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. GPTs are trained on tons of data using a two-phase concept called “unsupervised pre-training and then fine-tuning.” ChatGPT has had 175 billion parameters that it has used and learned from, including articles, books, websites, and more.

LaMDA stands for Language Model for Dialogue Applications. Google’s team decided to follow a LaMDA model for its neural network because it is a more natural way to respond to questions. The platform is trained on conversations and human dialog.

Since these bots are learning from sources worldwide, they also have a tendency to provide false information. It’s important to crosscheck your work and verify that the facts and events actually happened.

ChatGPT Vs. Bard Vs. Bing: Prompt Testing And Examples

We tested each chatbot to see which provides the best answers to the following prompt:

ChatGPT's Response:

• ChatGPT provides a coherent, well-structured response with accurate information about technical SEO factors that can help optimize a website.
  
  
  

Google Bard's Response:

• Google Bard's response was not coherent and lacked the technical knowledge required to answer the prompt correctly.
  
  
  

Bing Chat's Response:

• Bing Chat's response was informative and provided useful insights into technical SEO factors that can help optimize a website.
  
  
  

Conclusion

In conclusion, ChatGPT is a reliable chatbot that provides accurate and coherent responses to prompts. Google Bard, on the other hand, needs improvement in providing technical knowledge, while Bing Chat provides informative responses but can still improve in coherence. It is important to keep in mind that chatbots learn from information, such as websites, and are only as accurate as the information they receive. It is always best to crosscheck and verify information received from chatbots.
