When I was checking information today, I accidentally saw the news that Google's AI chatbot Bard has canceled the waiting list process (forgive me for the lack of information), and you can use it as long as you have a Google account.
The functions currently supported by Google Bard include: real-time Internet search, voice income, exporting text, making web page summaries, providing multiple reply drafts, explaining codes, viewing prompts and related searches, etc.
So I briefly tried it and found it a bit interesting: If you simply use a chatbot to produce and edit content, Bard can also do it very well, and you don’t have to worry about country-specific network restrictions like ChatGPT.
details as follows:
Bard: The threshold for use is very low
In China, there are two hurdles to use ChatGPT, one is to register an account, and the other is to use the Internet. Registering an account requires a foreign mobile phone number, and it is easy to be unable to log in to the account using a common computer room IP.
But Bard doesn’t have to be so troublesome. As long as you have a Google account, you can use it immediately.
Bard: Code explanation is simple
In fact, making this judgment is a bit arbitrary. There are many computer languages, and I basically don’t understand them. But in other words, it is precisely because I don’t understand that Bard’s explanation makes me feel more “approachable” than ChatGPT.
When installing and using Scrcpy, due to trying some strange ideas, "ERROR: Multiple (2) ADB devices" appeared, making it impossible to start the software by entering the code "scrcpy".
So, I posed this question to ChatGPT and encountered the following answer:
Today I asked Bard the same question again:
The answers between the two seem similar, but to me, the latter is obviously more organized and has case explanations, which can be called a conscientious answer.
For me, the most important role of chatbots like ChatGPT/Bard is that they can simply handle problems in professional fields that I am completely unfamiliar with.
Bard: The answer is mixed with truth and falsehood.
Bard can give answers online, and ChatGPT can also use various plug-ins. But like Bard, like ChatGPT, the answers given need to be discerned and not completely believed.
For example, on July 13, I received a notification: The price of iCloud 2T subscription in Turkey has increased from 64.99 Lira to 129.99 Lira per month. So, I posed this question to Bard:
None of the data here was correct, so I continued to ask:
This answer is even more confusing. Taking the price of 50G/200G/2T in India as an example, Bard gives 79/179/749, while Apple’s official website gives 75/219/749.
You are wrong, after all, some are right. You are right, the proportion of errors is as high as two-thirds.
Just ask, do you dare to adopt such an answer?
This is also the reason why I don’t like to use AI robots in the fields I am good at. Because most of the time, it may take more time to correct or verify its conclusion.
As for ChatGPT, it’s not hard to go anywhere. I just want to ask: Are you serious about the prices in Chile and Colombia?
In addition, Bard can already support Chinese and voice Q&A very well, and also supports copying, exporting and sharing content. Because it supports the Internet, answers can also be given based on specific web pages. These functions ChatGPT can also be realized through plug-ins, but it takes a little time to understand.
Finally, if you are unable to use ChatGPT for various reasons and want to experience a similar AI chatbot, Google Bard and Edge-integrated ChatGPT are both good choices.
Okay, if you see this and find it useful, just follow it.
I hope there can be more introductions to AI tools based on work scenarios
