Do you think BARD will overtake ChatGPT?

After failing during the presentation, it seems even if it performs the same, MSFT will naturally take over quite a portion of search revenue, since Google must fight to keep up margins, while MSFT can compete with price. And it's the first one to launch it meaning many of millions of ppl using ChatGTP will try it at least due to curiosity.

The success of a language model like BARD or ChatGPT will depend on various factors such as quality, ease of use, and level of support. While being part of the Google ecosystem might give BARD an advantage, ChatGPT has already established itself as a highly capable model with a large user base. The outcome is uncertain and depends on the ability to meet user needs and provide value

I'm guessing Bard is not going to be any different from Bing powered ChatGPT. If Google takes too long to launch, they will likely lose a lot of their customers. People will not quickly switch back because now there's no advantage point to do so.

We only need to look at the history of Google products to know how likely this is. They weren't the first to start emails, search, ads... or really any of their products really but look where they all are now.

It’s not time for the decisive battle yet, so don’t draw conclusions lightly. Although the user matrices of both are very powerful, in essence, which one gives the higher results, action transformer may be better

Let’s see.

Chat GPT is one of my favs. Have seen a lot of generative models while conducting research, but GPT3 is still my favorite.

It is interesting how the tables have turned. Earlier it was the responsibility of the content provider who claims something. But now with ChatGPT and BARD, the responsibility has shifted to OpenAI and Google. It will be difficult to forgive Google or OpenAI if they misrepresent a fact even though the fact may have been misrepresented by the content provider. Earlier the onus was on the content provider, now that has shifted. Now content providers or the dataset is anonymous. People may be harsh on Google more than OpenAI though.

Chatgpt has backed with Microsoft which gives it a nice headstart ..though a lot of non-tech people aren't aware of ChatGPT .....these are the users who Bard will target easily with Google's data.

I think distribution matters a lot for the product like this and despite the embarrassing launch, I think BARD should catch up pretty quickly - given just the pre-organised volume of data that Google already has. But there will likely remain also a large chunk of a different kind of search where the current text box, or some future version of the search text box is still the most useful way to get information. If you've tried bing+chatgpt, tbh the experience is also not the best yet to make me change my behaviour.
