Google Bard Chatbot Review | Prematurity of launch clearly shows Premium

We used Bard for a few days to learn more about Google’s answer to Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing chatbot.

Alphabet chief Sundar Pichai denied that Google and Microsoft are locked in an AI race, but the public has seen increasingly frequent AI product launches from the two Big Tech giants.

For instance, the waitlist for the highly anticipated Google Bard was dropped soon after the Google I/O conference on May 10, with the chatbot accessible to almost everyone.

We used Bard for a few days to learn more about Google’s answer to Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing chatbot.

The Bard chatbot beats out both ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing in terms of design, thanks to its clean workspace and screen-friendly typeface. It is also convenient to operate on both smartphone and desktop devices. However, users need to sign in through their Google accounts to use Bard.

While ChatGPT and Bing both show as the answer is being typed out, Bard generates the entire response at once, which is gratifying.

Bard does a satisfactory job of summarising content, be it paywalled articles, novels, movies, or controversial news events. The chatbot’s explanations are accessible, natural-sounding or even conversational under most circumstances.
