The response speed of Bard is much better in my experimentation. The creativity of the output on Bard is lacking, though.

I've found Bard to be very responsive too. Though you could argue it's not getting the same amount of traffic ChatGPT is.

That said, I don't expect Google to rest on its laurels. Sure, OpenAI is executing swiftly these days, but I think they've been prepared far too long for this. I expect Bard to become much better very soon... then will the AI wars truly begin.

That's good to hear. I was concerned it might just be a hard limitation in the early days, tech wise.

Can Bard output quality code like GPT? I'm in Canada so couldn't use Bard sadly.

If you ask it to "write code to do X", then it will say that it can't write code. I think this was hardcoded.

But I asked Bard: "Can you implement fibonacci in Go", and it outputted valid code. And then I asked it "what if I wanted to avoid recursion", to which it replied with valid Go code that used a for loop. But it also suggested me another very bogus way of doing it, by using a "function pointer", which was very bad. F(x) would output x.

So, don't expect ChatGPT level of quality just yet, but I think it will get there pretty fast.
