For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based "Generative AI" search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience.

I asked it today why Google no longer follows their "don't be evil" motto... The results are pretty hilarious.

I sometimes switch between Bard and ChatGPT.

Bard is good for summaries I've found, overall, however the web based results gives it an edge in some regards.

Honestly, I'm excited to see them weave this into Google Assistant. That assistant has been as dumb as a rock for years, and I swear it actually got worse over time since the original launch.

With this tied in, we're going to actually be able to ask questions and get good answers, albeit long-winded ones at the moment. I have no idea when or if they plan on doing this, though... I just figure it can't be that hard to connect the dots.

When you get to lesser known topics Bard still "lies" quite frequently in my experience.

I pretty much only use Bard. Bing Chat is just too fucking slow. I have used Bard for my SQL stuff and other small coding stuff, and it works well & really fast. Bing Chat was rushed, and I doubt Microsoft is ever going to fix the shitty code that their employees wrote to meet the deadline.
