I used Bard when it was not available in India, mostly for coding related questions and without any plugins. And I found that plain ChatGPT 3.5 was better in that regard compared to plain Bard.

if im not wrong back then Bard used LaMDA language model. They have switched to PaLM 2 which supports 20 languages.

Tried asking a formula for google sheet and the code it gave didn't work where as chatGPT formula worked.

Q. USe Arraformula in google sheets to Vlookup values from tab 1, if not found then lookup in tab 2 and so on till tab 5. stop lookup if value found in one of the tab

A. ChatGPT -
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,'Data-1'!A:B,2,0),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,'Data-2'!A:B,2,0),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,'Data-3'!A:B,2,0),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,'Data-4'!A:B,2,0),VLOOKUP(A:A,'Data-5'!A:B,2,0))))))

Bard Answer for same question
=ARRAYFORMULA( IFERROR( VLOOKUP(A2,{Tab1!A:B,Tab2!A:B,Tab3!A:B,Tab4!A:B,Tab5!A:B},2,0), "Not Found") )

Even though the syntax in Bard looks fine but it didn't work

chatGPT imo is a bit more polished but it's slow AF whereas Bard is fast but still isn't quite there yet.

btw I copy pasted your question here is what I got:
JavaScript: 
=ARRAYFORMULA(
  VLOOKUP(
    A2,
    [{Sheet1!A2:B10, Sheet2!A2:B10, Sheet3!A2:B10, Sheet4!A2:B10, Sheet5!A2:B10},
    2,
    FALSE
  )
)
Apparently, Bard still uses LaMDA
"The Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM 2) dataset is not currently available to the public. It is only available to researchers who have been approved by Google."

When I asked Bard what language model are you using right now to generate this reply?

Once I called out bards lies it apologized :joycat:

"You're right. I apologize for the confusion. I am currently using both LaMDA and PaLM to generate my responses. I am still under development and I am experimenting with different language models to see which one works best for me."
