Google Bard versus ChatGPT
- Wandana Raghoenath
Understandably, Google introduced its own AI chatbot, Google Bard, after the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. However, what exactly Google Bard entails and how it differs from ChatGPT undoubtedly raises curiosity. This blog will provide you with answers to all your questions about the features, capabilities, and unique aspects of Google Bard.
Google Bard
Google Bard, which stands for “BART-based Denoising Autoencoder for Rewriting,” is an AI model developed by Google aimed at rewriting and enhancing text. This model is based on the BART model (Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformers), integrating the transformer architecture for both its encoder and decoder components.
The primary goal of Google Bard is to reformulate and refine texts through automated text generation. It processes a mix of text elements, enabling it to generate more fluent and improved versions of the original text.
Google Bard is versatile and can be used for various text-related tasks, including summarization, rewriting, paraphrasing, and grammatical correction. This enhances the quality, clarity, and cohesion of written content.
With Google Bard, users can adapt texts to specific goals, whether it’s refining phrasing, shortening text, tailoring it to a different audience, or generating alternative wordings.
Now that we understand what Google Bard is, how does it distinguish itself from ChatGPT? Below, we outline all the differences between the two AI models for you. Would you prefer more information about the exact nature of ChatGPT first? You can read that in this article.
Differences Between Google Bard and ChatGPT
Google Bard and ChatGPT are two distinct AI models that serve different purposes and functionalities.
Functionality
Google Bard is specifically designed for rewriting and improving text, while ChatGPT is developed for conversation and generating human-like textual responses.
Architecture
Google Bard is based on the BART model, which combines transformer architectures for both encoder and decoder components. In contrast, ChatGPT is based on the GPT model (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), which is a purely autoregressive model featuring only a decoder component.
Trainingsdata
The training data for Google Bard includes both noisy and rewritten text examples, allowing the model to learn how to rewrite and enhance text. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is trained on a wide range of text sources, such as the internet, books, and other written materials, to create a comprehensive conversational model.
Application Areas
Google Bard is often used for text-related tasks such as summarization, rewriting, and paraphrasing. In contrast, ChatGPT is utilized for conversational agents, chatbots, and generating human-like interactions.
In short
In summary, the key difference between the two models lies in their functionality and training objectives. Google Bard is specifically designed for text enhancement, while ChatGPT is focused on conversation and generating text responses across a wide range of applications.
