How Google Bard is different from ChatGPT?

As per sources, one of the biggest differences in Google Bard and other AI chatbots are, that Bard will stay updated with the latest developments. Whereas, ChatGPT has been trained only on data limited till September 2021. Bard will also be able to cite resources if it picks huge amount of data from a single web page.

Bard also offers multiple drafts for a single question being asked. The user can scroll through different options before choosing one. Unlike ChatGPT, Google Bard provides the entire response in one go. On the other hand, ChatGPT follows a more natural way of typing out the answer. As more updates start rolling out, both platforms are expected to build on their niche.
