I thought Google's given Bard access to the internet?? I guess people still don't think to use Bard over ChatGPT

Even the Bard UI is worse. Being able to read the ChatGPT output as it's generated, instead of staring at a blank screen, is a massive time saver. And, I prefer ChatGPT trying stuff rather than Bard telling me that 'it can't do that right now' and 'we're trying to get better'. I've tried Bard, it's just not worth it.

There's an option in Bard's settings to enable real time replies.

My experience is different. I think Bard is giving better answers than chatgpt so I really use it daily even more than google search.
Better than the free or the paid chatgpt?
I use everything to create newsletter/podcast content and Bard is consistently the best for me. Then Claude and Bing, and ChatGPT last. By a mile. I have ChatGPTPlus, with chat access to GPT4 but not API access to GPT4.

Just got access to Bard API and hoping that continues delivering what I have been happy with...

Unfortunately for Google, Bard is irrelevant by means of being late and inferior to GPT-4
