The rise of generative AI models in the Big Tech industry has been swift and undeniable. The surge in interest was catalyzed mainly by OpenAI’s introduction of ChatGPT-3 on November 30, 2022. A generative AI language model that is incredibly good at predicting which words should follow one another when you feed it with prompts. Not to be left behind, Google had been developing a similar technology known as LaMDA. However, after OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm, the company was forced to release an early version of its AI model.
That’s how we got Bard, Google’s first publicly available chat-based generative model. Considering the competition, a key question comes up. Can Google Bard keep up with OpenAI? To find out, we compared ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4, and Bard to see how they performed in different tasks.
