How close is Google Bard to what we have (ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc.)?

Hey folks, just a general question here. Am I making a mistake, or do I believe Google Bard is significantly closer to what we all ready have now?<br><br> It appears to be an extremely watered down version of what we've come to expect from ChatGPT. It takes 3-4x longer to give a response, with much, much more watered responses. It would be crazy to compare it to what we have with ChatGPT. <br><br> It's got the ability to send emails, but I'm already able to do that with ChatGPT. Google Bard has a "new" feature that allows it to create images (AI Draw), but we've already had that for a while now, and with much higher quality (Midjourney).<br><br>I'm honestly ready to say we're a few months away from Google Bard being on the shelf and left to collect dust. I'm sure they'll keep it around, but I think it's already falling behind. Especially if ChatGPT continues to evolve at the rate it is.<br><br>Am I just deluded? Or am I making a proper observation?
