Comparing Bing and Bard on the Question of Roofing Shingle Underlayments

I asked Bing and Bard various questions about Roofing Shingle Underlayments. You can see that each response has advantages and disadvantages. Bing uses ChatGPT version 4. Google Bard v1 is based on the long running internal “Project Bard.” Note the final question and answer.

Here is how Bard described the situation to me:

  • Bard was named after the Bards of Celtic cultures, who were professional storytellers, verse-makers, music composers, oral historians and genealogists.
  • Bard and Bing with ChatGPT are both large language models that can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. However, there are some key differences between the two.
  • Bard is a Google product, while Bing with ChatGPT is a Microsoft product. This means that Bard is trained on Google’s data, while Bing with ChatGPT is trained on Microsoft’s data. This could potentially lead to differences in the way that the two models generate text and answer questions.
  • Bard is still under development, while Bing with ChatGPT is already available to the public. This means that Bard may not be as polished or reliable as Bing with ChatGPT. However, it also means that Bard is constantly being improved, and it may eventually surpass Bing with ChatGPT in terms of accuracy and reliability.
