The artificial intelligence Google Bard has recently been launched, which wants to compete with the well-known ChatGPT. The problem with this new AI is that, for the moment, it is not accessible on European territory. Behind this restriction are the privacy policies of the European Union. But don’t worry, if you want try google bard we are going to explain how can you do it.
The first thing you should know about Bard is that it is developed by Google and it is a conversational system. We introduce a text, also called a “prompt” and it will respond with information, in principle, useful and focused on our question.
This AI is based on the LaMDA system, a very powerful experimental language model created by Google for dialog applications. LaMDA has been in the testing phase for quite some time, but access was very limited, with very few people able to access it.
Main differences between Google Bard and ChatGPT
Although ChatGPT has been the first implementation open to the whole world, it has many limitations. Behind these restrictions is the recently implemented payment model to use an improved version. Google has no need for income, so it has launched its tool with everything.
Google beats ChatGPT in these aspects:
- Sample updated data, since you have constant access to the internet. ChatGPT is limited as its knowledge is limited to September 2021, which is when it was last updated
- contributes drafts or alternative answers to which it offers us. We will have the option to see the three answers and choose the one that may interest us the most.
- We can dictate the voice promptsomething that ChatGPT does not offer
- Allows us edit a prompt, instead of having to rewrite it modifying the part we want. Obviously, with this reissue, the answer will vary. This allows you to polish the prompt without having to copy the entire instruction
- A very interesting function is that write in specific text formats. We can write in Word, PDF or HTML, making copy and paste easier
- Bard has an important drawback and it is that it is only in englishalthough it allows translation into Spanish
- If you are learning to program or want to learn, Bard is great as it explains the code. As simple as sticking the code and asking him to explain it to you or you can ask him questions about said code
I want to test it, how can I use Bard?
We commented that Google Bard is not available in Spain and in Europe by EU privacy regulations. But, as always, it is a bit of putting doors on the field. To access to this AI is quite simple, we only need one VPN.
VPNs are nothing more than virtual tunnels to access the internet. We send the request to a server that may be in the United States. This accesses the information (web page) and sends it to us. The grace is that the IP address (which would be similar to that of our house) changes and is no longer Spanish, it becomes American.
Download and install the VPN
You don’t need to pay for a VPN to get your initial trial of Google Bard. We recommend ProtonVPN, which is very easy to use and offers a lot of privacy.
These are the steps you must follow:
- We have to sign up to use this tool. To do so, we must go to the Proton registry
- Several options will appear, one free and several paid. As we are testing this tool, we are going to use the one that does not cost us
- Now we have to introduce the email name and password what we want
- It asks us to enter an existing email to send us a verification code
- We must follow some more steps, which are simple and we will access the mail panel. yes we want download vpn, but it’s a slow process
- In the upper left corner, you will see that it says Proton Mail and next to it, a square of dots. Click on this and now other options open and we will press about ProtonVPN
- We go to the VPN page and here, in the menu on the left we will look for “VPN Applications” That works for download software
- Inside we will find the version for Android, Windows, iOS, macOS and other operating systems. Download the one that corresponds to your device
- We download it and install the software, which is quite fast
- We open and it will ask us for the username and password
- We will see on the left that we can access servers in the United States, the Netherlands and Japan. We can connect free of charge to the United States and Japan to access Google Bard
Getting started with Bard
Once we have connected to one of the VPN servers (easier than the explanation seems), it is time to use Bard. For this, the steps that we must carry out are minimal. You should note that a Google account is required to use this artificial intelligence.
The steps are the following:
- Go to Bard’s website
- Below to the right will appear the “Try Bard” button which we must press to access
- A section appears “Terms and Conditions” that we will not read and accept (as we do with everyone, why lie)
- And that’s it, you can start using Google Bard
To use Bard it is essential to use the VPN and not turn it off, as it will stop working. We’ll see if Google launches it soon for Europe and also in Spanish, to facilitate its use.
