Google Bard is quickly catching up to ChatGPT. I played around with it like two months ago, and it was clearly inferior to ChatGPT (hence all the mockery). But Google has truly closed the gap quite a bit. For some of the stuff I was using it for — research and ideation — it might even be a little bit better than GPT 3.5 now. Still think GPT-4 feels quite a bit more advanced. But this makes me think people shouldn’t count Google out.
