I've briefly used bard before they rolled it into Gemini and bard was really quick and accurate. Now that bard is Gemini they seem to have deliberately handicapped the performance of the free product as it really needs very specific prompts to get an answer that's helpful and takes twice as long as bard. Currently I use codeium (not to be confused with codium which is another ai code product) for code reviewing and a linter, and bing AI for general questions. Bing AI is quick, but I've noticed it provides the simplest and quickest answers it can provide, almost like it provides the first answer it finds and nothing else, that can be good and bad. As for copilot, I refuse to pay for it because it really is a good product and should be available to everyone that wants to learn coding, but I get it, they gotta make money I just think it's bullshit to withhold something like that.
