    Google Bard - The Full Review. Bard vs Bing [LaMDA vs GPT 4]

    Bard has arrived! This is the first full review, testing out its maximum capacities, with a direct comparison with GPT 4, which powers Bing. You will find out about Bard's surprising weaknesses and unexpected strengths. I also won't shy away from areas that both do well in, or do badly in. Among the many examples I will showcase include conducting basic web searches, grammar assistance, Math, theory of mind, speed and size of the models [LaMDA vs GPT-4], joke telling, using Bard for Midjourney v5 prompts, and much much more!No apparent message limits or daily caps that I could see though.To anyone wondering how I got access, sign up to the waitlist on Bard's site. I got through in under 30 minutes. https://bard.google.com/https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
