Gemini-powered Google Bard vs ChatGPT vs Copilot vs Grok vs Ernie: Here’s how AI chatbots outperform each other
Google has recently joined the competitive field of AI chatbots, intensifying the race with major companies like Meta, Microsoft, Snap, and xAI. With its updated version, Google Bard has now become a formidable competitor to ChatGPT, BingAI, Grok, and others in the AI chatbot landscape.
As reported by HT Tech, Google introduced Gemini AI in a recent update, which powers Google Bard and offers the ability to generate outputs in various formats like images, video, and audio. Its most powerful version, Gemini Pro AI, is hailed for its proficiency in mathematics and physics. In benchmark tests against OpenAI’s LLM, Google claims that Gemini AI outperformed the competition in 30 out of 32 benchmarks, covering domains such as reasoning, math, reading comprehension, and Python code generation.
Looking ahead, Google plans to unveil Bard Advanced in the coming year, featuring multi-modal capabilities that allow the generation of outputs in images, video, and audio formats. This enhanced version will seamlessly integrate with Google products like Drive, Location, and YouTube, enabling it to address related queries to some extent. With the power of Gemini AI, Google Bard retains and improves upon all its previous functionalities.
ChatGPT, operating on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, has gained global recognition as one of the leading AI chatbots. Its generative AI model is trained extensively on text data, enabling it to understand the nuances of human language.
ChatGPT offers a free iteration on the GPT-3.5 architecture, while the subscription-based ChatGPT Plus utilizes the more advanced GPT-4, allowing for faster response times and compatibility with internet plugins. Regardless of the version, ChatGPT excels at responding to a wide range of questions and tailoring answers to the specifics of each query. Its GPT-based training equips it with the ability to comprehend even the subtlest nuances in questions. Furthermore, over extended sessions, ChatGPT retains memory of previous prompts, adapting its responses accordingly.
Formerly known as Bing AI, Copilot is a significant language model chatbot developed by Microsoft. It is available on the Bing search engine and Bing app, offering features such as addressing user inquiries, generating text, composing emails, and more. Copilot demonstrates versatility by generating creative text formats like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, and letters. It can also perform specific tasks such as scheduling appointments, organizing travel plans, and facilitating online shopping.
Grok, an AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, embraces unconventional and bold questions that other AI systems might typically reject. Elon Musk emphasizes that Grok injects humor and wit into its responses, making it stand out from the crowd. Grok facilitates branched conversations where users can navigate between different topics. What sets it apart is the unique capability for users to modify any part of Grok’s output as if it were the original response. Built on xAI’s proprietary LLM known as Grok-1, this AI chatbot surpasses the performance of GPT-3.5 and comparable models, all while injecting humor.
Ernie, created by the Chinese firm Baidu, serves as China’s equivalent to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It relies on Baidu’s proprietary in-house Large Model (LLM) called Ernie 3.0-Totan and Pre-trained Dialogue Generation Model (PLATO). One of Ernie’s strengths lies in its multi-modal capabilities, allowing users to engage with the AI service through both text and images in prompts and responses.
As this intense race for AI chatbot dominance continues, Google Bard, with its Gemini-powered AI, has emerged as a strong competitor to ChatGPT, Copilot, Grok, and Ernie. Each chatbot offers unique features and capabilities, catering to different user needs. With further advancements on the horizon, the future of AI chatbots looks promising, providing users with increasingly intelligent and versatile conversation partners.
