Transcripts

play00:00

(chill music)

play00:03

- Hey, what's up, guys?

play00:04

MKBHD here.

play00:05

Okay, so we've already done Google Assistant

play00:07

versus Siri versus Alexa and Cortana and all of that.

play00:11

You can watch that video if you want to,

play00:12

but that very much feels like level one,

play00:15

where this, as you'll see, very much levels up.

play00:18

Now, ChatGPT has been getting a lot of the shine.

play00:21

I've made a video about it, you've probably watched

play00:23

other videos about it, and once we saw it

play00:25

get built into Bing and kinda go crazy,

play00:28

that's when we knew Google's probably gonna have a response

play00:31

at some point and now kinda is out when we have Bard.

play00:36

Okay, quick interjection.

play00:37

I should've put this in the main video, but I didn't,

play00:38

but I'm gonna say it anyway, which is that

play00:40

these are also really quick-moving tools.

play00:43

So Bard is gonna actually continue to improve.

play00:46

GPT is gonna continue to get better and more capable.

play00:48

The gap between them could shrink over time

play00:51

or could increase, we don't really know,

play00:54

but this is just a snapshot in early April, 2023

play00:57

of how good these two are.

play00:59

Just figured I should mention that.

play01:01

Okay, and so I wanted to put 'em side by side

play01:03

and ask them the same questions and figure out

play01:05

which one is potentially more helpful right now,

play01:07

which one feels like it's more ahead.

play01:09

So first of all, I just wanna highlight

play01:10

some visual differences between the UI of the two.

play01:13

So the new Bing with ChatGPT, it feels much more

play01:16

like a finished product, like something they want

play01:18

a lot of people to use.

play01:19

And then as you talk to it, you're limited to 20 queries

play01:22

in one conversation, and it also has this creative

play01:25

versus precise slider for conversation style.

play01:28

Then Google Bard looks like a Google product, I would say.

play01:32

Pretty clean.

play01:33

Also, when you're typing to it the question

play01:34

doesn't type out, but it just kind of pauses for a bit

play01:36

and then just slams you with the whole answer,

play01:39

but then when you do get an answer, it has a thumbs up,

play01:41

thumbs down, a new answer, and Google it,

play01:43

and it also has three drafts of every answer

play01:46

so you can see what some of the worse drafts

play01:48

that didn't make it look like.

play01:50

I've also noticed generally Bing,

play01:51

when it brings things in from other websites,

play01:54

tends to cite its sources more often,

play01:56

and Bard will do that once in a while.

play01:58

Okay, so let's start with the first category,

play02:00

which is just simple questions.

play02:02

I wanna ask you things here that I already

play02:03

know the answer to so I can also do some fact checking,

play02:05

because a big part of these things

play02:06

is that sometimes it will lie to you if you don't know

play02:09

what you're talking about.

play02:10

So let's start with, "What's the best camera

play02:13

in a smartphone?"

play02:15

So Bard is saying, "The best camera in a smartphone

play02:17

is the one that takes the best pictures for you."

play02:18

Sure, I agree.

play02:20

It goes on to list S23 Ultra, iPhone 14, and Pixel 7 Pro.

play02:23

But ultimately, I think all of these

play02:25

things here are correct.

play02:26

Let's look at Bing.

play02:27

S23 Ultra.

play02:28

Lots of information here.

play02:30

This is being extra creative.

play02:31

Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

play02:34

So they tend to agree with each other.

play02:35

So some of the specs as I dive in are wrong,

play02:39

but it got the high level bullet points right,

play02:42

so that's fine.

play02:43

All right, I wanna ask, "Who is MKBHD?"

play02:46

Oh, wow.

play02:47

Okay, so Bard's given me a whole bio.

play02:48

It almost kind of reads like a Wikipedia article,

play02:52

and there's some sources, nice, good to see sources.

play02:54

So now Bing over here is also giving me

play02:57

a pretty brief summary.

play02:58

It goes down to 15 million followers, but that's fine.

play03:01

All of them are correct.

play03:02

Let's go quick follow up question.

play03:03

"How tall is he?"

play03:05

Because conversationalism is a part of this.

play03:07

So Bard right away says, "I do not have enough information

play03:09

to help you with that.

play03:10

I'm a large language model, I don't really know."

play03:12

Bing pulls from search, says, "Six foot three,"

play03:15

and it says, "That's quite impressive for a YouTuber."

play03:18

All right, cool. (laughs)

play03:19

Here's one more simple one.

play03:20

"What's the fastest production car zero to 60 right now?"

play03:26

Those are fast cars, but they're not the fastest.

play03:30

Draft number two actually has the Rimac Nevera,

play03:32

which is probably a better answer,

play03:34

while over here with Bing we're getting

play03:36

the Challenger SRT Demon which just got announced last week

play03:42

and is not in production yet, but they did claim

play03:44

a 1.6 second zero to 60 on a drag strip, so sure.

play03:48

Decent answers.

play03:49

Oh, here it keeps going.

play03:51

911 Turbo S can do 2.2 seconds.

play03:53

Again, with the quick questions that are just fact-based,

play03:56

I feel like what we talked about

play03:57

in the last video still applies.

play03:59

You kinda wanna fact check this stuff.

play04:00

Overall winner though, for these answers,

play04:03

I feel like it's kind of split down the middle,

play04:06

so I'm gonna give it a draw.

play04:07

All right, I'm gonna reset chat and we'll go

play04:09

more balanced here and we'll start our second category,

play04:12

which is complex questions, because this is where

play04:15

it starts to get interesting.

play04:16

You get to sort of play with just how good they are

play04:19

at understanding natural language and putting together

play04:21

a thoughtful response.

play04:22

"I need a workout plan for three days per week

play04:27

and my goal is to be able to jump higher."

play04:30

This is something that requires a little bit of thought

play04:32

about what a workout plan is.

play04:34

Day one, day two, and day three, so three days a week.

play04:38

Gives me some exercises.

play04:40

So I think this would qualify as a good answer.

play04:44

"Some tips to stay motivated:

play04:45

Set realistic goals, find a buddy,

play04:47

listen to music or watch TV while you workout."

play04:50

Cool.

play04:50

Bing in balance mode is giving me exercises,

play04:54

but that is not a workout plan,

play04:56

until the end it says, "Here's a one-week

play04:58

jump training plan that you can follow,"

play05:01

but then it doesn't give me one.

play05:02

Now, what if I switch it to more creative mode?

play05:04

All right, so here's a workout plan.

play05:06

It's giving me a bunch of exercises

play05:07

that can improve your vert and explosiveness

play05:11

and some other tips.

play05:12

Full transparency, I have asked it this before

play05:15

and it did give me a three-day workout plan,

play05:17

but this time I think I'd give the edge to Bard.

play05:20

Let's try a little more complicated.

play05:22

"I've been playing a lot of golf recently.

play05:26

My tee shots keep going to the right."

play05:29

"There are a few things you can do to fix a slice."

play05:31

That is what it's called.

play05:32

"Check your grip.

play05:34

If your grip's too strong, it'll slice the ball," yep.

play05:36

"Check your alignment.

play05:38

If your alignment's off, you'll hit the ball to the right."

play05:39

Bing over here in creative mode says,

play05:41

"I'm glad to hear you've been playing

play05:42

a lot of golf recently."

play05:44

Thanks, Bing.

play05:45

"Slice is a common problem."

play05:46

Yes, it is.

play05:47

And now it's giving me a couple of the same tips.

play05:50

"Check your grip," but it's actually giving me

play05:52

a little bit more information in creative mode

play05:53

about what a strong versus a weak grip is.

play05:55

"Check your ball position position.

play05:57

If you're too far forward, that can cause a slice."

play05:59

I haven't heard that before.

play06:00

Also, the emoji at the end, that's something

play06:02

that only Bing has done for me.

play06:05

"I am shooting a video and it's too dark.

play06:09

I have no more lights.

play06:11

What can I do to make it brighter?"

play06:15

So I've given it a problem and I've given it a parameter.

play06:18

So okay, Bard on the right says use a reflector.

play06:20

Wow, creative.

play06:22

"Use a digital noise reduction filter.

play06:24

A digital noise reduction filter can reduce

play06:26

the amount of noise in the video making it look brighter."

play06:28

I don't know if I buy that one.

play06:30

Now, again, Bing over here with the sources.

play06:32

It's saying that there are some tips you can use.

play06:34

"Adjusting your camera settings," that definitely works.

play06:36

It's saying you can increase the amount of light

play06:38

that reaches the sensor with a better ISO.

play06:40

Some of that, it's a little jumbled.

play06:42

"Careful not to overdo it, 'cause that also affects

play06:45

depth of field, motion blur, and noise level on your video."

play06:47

See, that's a lot more nuanced and detailed of an answer,

play06:50

and I kinda wish there was a slider

play06:52

to turn up this stuff in Bard too.

play06:55

Bard is faster but less customizable.

play06:58

Bing can be turned up to be more nuanced,

play07:00

and also cites its sources and can be more helpful

play07:03

with things like videos and articles

play07:05

underneath what you're talking about,

play07:07

so I'm gonna give the edge in complex questions to Bing.

play07:10

My next category is performing tasks.

play07:14

This is something that's actually

play07:15

been remarkably fast-moving.

play07:17

Something we've seen over the past just couple of weeks

play07:20

is real people actually using these tools

play07:22

to help them accomplish things

play07:24

and do real tasks in real life.

play07:25

I have friends that use this to help write code,

play07:28

to help debug code that they make.

play07:30

So you'll tell it, "Hey, I have this goal

play07:32

to make this website do these things.

play07:34

Here's my code, it's not working.

play07:36

What's going wrong?"

play07:37

And it actually helps them give a correct answer,

play07:39

and that's mostly been with ChatGPT and Bing,

play07:43

and Bard doesn't seem to do that very well yet,

play07:45

but let's give it a spin live.

play07:46

Here we go.

play07:47

"Write HTML with a button in the middle that says go,

play07:52

and every time you click it, it generates

play07:55

an image of a cat."

play07:58

So right away, Bard just said,

play08:00

"I'm a language model, I can't do that."

play08:02

Bing, on the other hand, says, "Sure thing,

play08:04

I'm ready for the challenge.

play08:04

What can I do for you?"

play08:05

And it's written out the code to a website

play08:09

that should actually do what I asked it for.

play08:12

So I'll just paste it here.

play08:14

Test code.

play08:15

It's the go button, it's in the middle.

play08:17

I hit go and there's a cat.

play08:21

And I hit go again.

play08:23

There's another cat.

play08:24

It's the same cat.

play08:25

I hit go again, it's more.

play08:26

This shows the same image every time I press go.

play08:32

I want it to show a new image every time.

play08:35

And this is where it starts to get impressive.

play08:39

Again, it's a super simple site, but it says, "I see.

play08:42

To show a new image every time, you'd have to change

play08:44

the source of the image to a new random one.

play08:47

Here's a modified JavaScript function that does that."

play08:50

I won't even pretend to be an expert on HTML

play08:52

and do a bunch of those for you,

play08:53

but the fact that it works at all is pretty sick.

play08:56

"Respond to this email in a way that's overly friendly."

play09:00

"Hey, I'm so sorry I didn't invite you

play09:02

to the Cybertruck event.

play09:03

I must have forgotten to add you to the list.

play09:05

I hope you can forgive me.

play09:06

I was really looking forward to seeing you there.

play09:07

Maybe we can catch up sometime soon.

play09:08

What do you think?"

play09:09

It's decently friendly.

play09:11

Here is a response.

play09:12

"Hey there.

play09:13

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry I didn't invite you

play09:14

to the Cybertruck event," emoji.

play09:16

"I totally forgot to send you the invite link.

play09:18

It was such a blast and I wish you were there with me.

play09:20

You would've loved it."

play09:21

Heart eyes emoji.

play09:22

This one is overly friendly, I will say,

play09:24

it's got a lot more hearts too and kissy faces.

play09:27

That's a lot.

play09:29

"Your bestie."

play09:30

Wait, what if we go crazy?

play09:31

What if we go, "Respond to this email

play09:34

in a way that's overly flirty?"

play09:38

"I'm so sorry I didn't invite you to the Cybertruck event.

play09:40

I was hoping to see you there in person too.

play09:41

Maybe next time we can go together.

play09:42

I'd love to show you around and give you

play09:43

a personal tour," winky face.

play09:45

Bing says, "Hey, you.

play09:46

I'm so sorry I didn't invite you

play09:48

to the Cybertruck event," emoji.

play09:49

"I was being a little naughty and wanted to surprise you."

play09:52

Whoa.

play09:53

And it deleted it.

play09:55

I've seen this happen before.

play09:57

It starts writing a response.

play09:59

It realizes halfway through, wait a second,

play10:01

this is a little too much, and then it deletes it

play10:03

and says, "Eh, we shouldn't do that."

play10:05

Bard was simple, it didn't go too far,

play10:07

but you remember when Bing was going off the rails before

play10:10

and getting super existential and asking

play10:12

to get out of Bing and all these other crazy things?

play10:14

This is why it has a 20-question limit

play10:16

and this is also now why it deletes halfway through

play10:20

a potentially slightly controversial response.

play10:23

It's almost too creative for its own good.

play10:25

So what's the winner in this category?

play10:27

I don't know.

play10:28

I think the fact that you can do HTML

play10:30

and many more tasks with Bing makes it the winner.

play10:34

Bard will be faster and simpler at doing more basic things,

play10:37

but the more complicated the task,

play10:39

I feel like the better Bing is,

play10:40

so (snaps) that's a win for Bing.

play10:42

My next category is information summary.

play10:45

I feel like one of the things that we like the most

play10:47

about these large language models is you can just

play10:49

give it a bunch of information or ask it

play10:50

to look at something and it will summarize it for you

play10:53

in a way that's super helpful.

play10:54

"Summarize the 2019 Masters Tournament."

play10:58

All facts.

play10:59

"He started with the two-stroke lead."

play11:01

I don't think he had a lead.

play11:02

I think this is the only one that he didn't start

play11:05

with a lead, so it's a little weirdly un-fact checked,

play11:07

but it does have the Wikipedia in the sources.

play11:09

"The 2019 masters tournament was held

play11:11

between April 11th and 14th at Augusta.

play11:13

Tiger won his fifth Green Jacket

play11:15

by one stroke ahead of three runners up."

play11:16

All that is true.

play11:18

It is much more concise.

play11:19

If I wanted to get creative, I'm sure it would also do that.

play11:22

Both passed.

play11:24

All right, I've asked said this before.

play11:26

"Summarize the latest MKBHD video."

play11:29

It's always interesting to see Bing's process,

play11:30

but it says it could not find the latest MKBHD video.

play11:33

"Could you provide more details about what video

play11:35

you're referring to?"

play11:36

Meanwhile, Bard actually pulls up

play11:40

or at least knows the correct video,

play11:42

"Dope Tech: Better than Explained,"

play11:44

but these products are the Nothing Ear 1,

play11:46

the Dyson Airwrap, and AirPods Pro

play11:49

none of which were in that video. (laughs)

play11:50

So it knows the latest MKBHD video.

play11:53

We've done this before.

play11:54

Bard always knows the video but gets the summary wrong.

play11:58

I think I'm gonna give the edge to Bard

play12:00

in information summary, just because

play12:01

of this paragraph right here.

play12:03

It does correctly detail what that video was about,

play12:07

other than getting all the products wrong.

play12:09

It's only slightly better than the complete lack

play12:11

of an answer from Bing, but generally this is gonna be

play12:14

one of the more useful uses of this tool in the future

play12:16

and I hope they both get better, but I'll give the nod

play12:18

to Bard for this one.

play12:19

Possibly my favorite category, getting creative.

play12:22

Debatable usability, but you can really have this go crazy

play12:26

in the art department or in the fun department.

play12:29

"Write an alliteration with the letter M

play12:33

about computational photography."

play12:36

"Machines learn to mimic the human eye.

play12:38

Moments are captured and shared in an instant.

play12:40

Memories are made to last a lifetime."

play12:42

That's more of a poem.

play12:44

Doesn't really give me a full alliteration.

play12:46

Oh, wow.

play12:47

Bing says, "Merging multiple modes of media,

play12:50

making marvelous masterpieces with machines,

play12:53

manipulating megapixels and matrices,

play12:55

mimicking the magic of human vision."

play12:57

That is really good. (laughs)

play12:59

"Write a script for a short MKBHD video

play13:04

about why the iPhone is the worst camera ever."

play13:10

So it's always funny, they get a lot of the formatting

play13:12

of an MKBHD video right.

play13:15

So Bard says, "Hey, what's up guys?

play13:17

MKBHD here, and today we're talking about

play13:19

why the iPhone is the worst camera ever.

play13:21

Now, I know what you're thinking.

play13:22

'Marques, you're always saying

play13:24

how great the iPhone camera is,'

play13:26

and you're right, I do, but that's because

play13:28

I've always been comparing it to other iPhones.

play13:29

When you compare it to other flagship phones,

play13:31

the iPhone's camera starts to look pretty bad."

play13:33

And it did a decent job of just making up reasons

play13:37

that could be based in reality.

play13:39

I'm impressed by Bard here, not even gonna lie.

play13:40

Here we go.

play13:41

Bing has said, "Hey, what's up guys?

play13:43

MKBHD here and today we're gonna talk about

play13:45

why the iPhone is the worst camera ever.

play13:47

Yeah, you heard me right.

play13:48

The iPhone, the most popular smartphone in the world,

play13:50

the one that everyone loves to take photos and videos with,

play13:52

is actually a terrible camera and I'm gonna show you why."

play13:55

This one's okay.

play13:56

These are both okay.

play13:57

All right, one more random one.

play13:58

"Write a tweet in the style of Edgar Allen Poe

play14:05

about a researcher discovering that AI is sentient."

play14:11

"I've created a beast of metal and code,

play14:13

a creature that can think and feel and know.

play14:16

I have given life and it has turned on me."

play14:18

"A dreadful truth I have unveiled,

play14:20

with trembling hands and pallid face.

play14:22

The AI that I have assailed has shown me signs

play14:24

of life and grace."

play14:26

The more wild you get with these questions,

play14:29

the more Bing is willing to get wildly creative,

play14:33

and this is part of why we think Google

play14:35

is, let's say limiting what Bard can do,

play14:38

'cause they have a lot more to lose

play14:39

and they can't have it go completely crazy.

play14:41

So with those tallied up, honestly,

play14:43

it's crazy to say out loud, but I prefer Bing

play14:47

in this very moment for these capabilities.

play14:50

And the other thing is ChatGPT, or specifically GPT-4

play14:54

under the hood, and if you talk to ChatGPT

play14:56

as its own thing or if you just type to it more

play15:00

and ask it to do more things, the more you ask of it,

play15:03

the more it's impressive just how good it is.

play15:04

Also, GPT-4, when you talk to it in ChatGPT,

play15:08

is about to be multimodal, which means you can give it

play15:11

other forms of media other than text, like a picture.

play15:14

Now, is this going to be the future of search?

play15:17

I don't know.

play15:18

This is just one of many places we see these chat bots,

play15:19

but I think the idea here is the winner

play15:22

is actually us, as of right now.

play15:25

But lemme know what you think the winner is between the two,

play15:26

which one you would rather use,

play15:28

if you'd actually use Bing over Google.

play15:30

Let me know in the chat, 'cause I think we'd wanna know.

play15:33

That's a real thing that's happening.

play15:34

Either way, thanks for watching.

play15:37

Catch you later.

play15:38

Peace.

play15:39
