As with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-best-poems-created-by-chatgpt-on-the-day-of-poetry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a>, we only have to chat with it as if it were a person and Bard will respond back to us. Its ability to learn allows it to improve its responses based on what we have previously talked to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/artificial-intelligence-google-gmail-docs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bard<\/a> would not be possible without <strong>LaMDA<\/strong> (Language Model for Dialogue Applications), a language model similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/gpt-4-8-uses-artificial-intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GPT<\/a>.

Although it is not the company&#8217;s first work related to artificial intelligence, it is true that the appearance of the OpenAI model hastened Bard&#8217;s departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Google presents : Live from Paris\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yLWXJ22LUEc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Google Bard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the occasion of the release of Google Bard, the company has decided that the first to test the model will be Google Pixel and Google One users. However, don&#8217;t worry: it will not be necessary to have a Google device to access Bard. For the time being, <a href=\"https:\/\/bard.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">you can sign up for the waiting list<\/a>, available through this link.

The model&#8217;s biggest hurdle is that it only responds to certain instructions, so you&#8217;ll often have to ask it multiple times to generate code, translate text and perform other functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google CEO Sundar Pichai accelerated Bard&#8217;s development through 2022 after the immense success of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/what-is-gpt-4-how-it-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a>. At the moment, Bard is only accessible to a small group of users and we do not have a specific date for its final release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Sunda Pichai mentioned in his keynote speech that we would soon see how Google Bard <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/was-gpt-4-all-this-time-microsoft-confirms-chatbot-bing-uses-new-model-openai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">would improve Google search<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/google-bard-thumb-marzo-1024x576-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ChatGPT or Google Bard: which is better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT and Google Bard employ natural language and machine learning techniques to generate &#8220;conversation&#8221;. Still, they have several differences: for starters, ChatGPT uses a limited database until 2021, while Google Bard has the ability to leverage information from the Internet to produce more accurate responses. ChatGPT focuses primarily on providing more informal interactions and is something that Bing employs for its new searches. In a similar way, Google Bard will be used to enrich the Google search experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in experimenting with these chatbots, you already know that with Google Bard you will have to wait, while ChatGPT is available to use for free. In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/what-is-gpt-4-how-it-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OpenAI has just released GPT-4<\/a>, an even more powerful model than GPT-3.5, the heart of ChatGPT.
