How is it different from ChatGPT? 

One of the biggest differences is that Google Bard will stay updated with the latest developments. Whereas ChatGPT has been trained only on data limited till September 2021. Bard will also be able to cite resources if it picks large chunks of data from a single web page. 

Google Bard also offers multiple drafts for a single query. The user can go through different drafts before finalizing on one. Unlike ChatGPT, Google Bard provides the entire response in one go. ChatGPT, on the other hand, follows a more natural way of typing out the answer. As more updates start rolling out, both platforms are expected to build on their niche.
