ChatGPT vs. Bing vs. Bard: Which Al is best?

ChatGPT, Bing Chat, and Bard promise to transform your life using the power of artificial intelligence, through Al conversations that-just like those with a human being-can inform, amuse, and educate you. But how good are these new Al chatbots, really? We tested them to find out.

We asked all three Als a variety of different questions: some that expanded upon general search topics, some that demanded an opinion, logic puzzles, even code and then asked them to be more creative, such as by writing an alternate, better ending to Game of Thrones and a Seinfeld scene with a special guest. We've included all of their answers, or as much of them as we could provide, and we'll let you decide for yourself.

One note: We have access to all three Al chatbots the free Bing Chat (fave.co/ 3JqPwpO), the free Google Bard (fave.co/3zSZ1cq), and the paid version of ChatGPT+ (which costs $20 for the month, fave.co/414KKVZ). We opted for the paid version of ChatGPT (fave.co/3wnujwM), since it includes access to the new GPT-4 language model. However, that version is extremely limited right now-just 25 to 40 queries are permitted every few hours, after which it defaults to the somewhat less-sophisticated GPT-3 language model, which happened to us toward the end of our test queries.

Here are the questions we asked all three Al chatbots (Bing, then ChatGPT, then Bard), their responses, and any notes we made about the conversation. We've tried to add the entirety of the response when possible. (We've also chosen to stick with the "first draft" of Bard results; it can offer alternate explanations, but we're not sure how many users will seek them out.)

And yes, we have a winner for best Al chatbot! We tally up the votes at the end.
