What ChatGPT’s rival Google Bard can do (and what it can’t)

Google has released a new chatbot, Bard, and has shared the experimental technology with a limited number of people in the United States and Britain.

Bard competes with similar technologies from Microsoft and its partner, San Francisco startup OpenAI. But Google has been cautious with its release as it tries to control the unexpected behavior exhibited by this kind of technology. It is deploying the chatbot as a service that operates separately from its internet search engine and other products.
