Google Bard, ChatGPT’s direct competitor in terms of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), was launched a few days ago. It works in more than 40 languages, including Spanish.
This AI is sure to be able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, it can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories.
Although it is similar to its competition, it is key to know how it works, its advantages and disadvantages when using this new AI.
