While bard got some really bad reviews compared to chatgpt, I've honestly found it better with queries chatgpt struggled with. I have two examples:
In general, Bard in general seems one of the few llms that will tell me it doesn't know something or that something is impossible. IMHO that's better than just coming up with a hallucination.
I had kinda the opposite experience using Bard. It made up random technical details for the questions I asked. It assured me that it knew the contents of a document that it didn't have access to and generated what it claimed was information from that document rather than saying it couldn't read it and didn't know.
Same. Found it to be better with some and worse work others. With some of those where it provides worse results compared to ChatGPT it just feels like it’s missing the fine tuning. It provides pretty similar results as when ChatGPT 3.5 came out a while ago. People just tend to forget about it.
