OpenAI's GPT-4 VS. Google's Bard | I Tested complex responses between to AI's

Intro

I was exploring the internet when I realized; OpenAI just released the most sophisticated AI in the history of this world, and now Google wants that role too?

The Questions I asked

First, I questioned Google's Bard.
I asked Bard, "Explain Quantum computing to a six-year-old" - the result was as follows.

Bard's Response

Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses the power of quantum mechanics to perform calculations. Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small, and it tells us that particles can be in two places at once and that they can be connected even when they are separated by a great distance. These properties allow quantum computers to perform calculations that are impossible for classical computers.

One way to think about quantum computing is to imagine a coin. A classical computer can only represent the coin as being heads or tails. But a quantum computer can represent the coin as being both heads and tails at the same time. This is called superposition.

Superposition allows quantum computers to perform calculations that are much faster than classical computers. For example, a quantum computer could factor a number that would take a classical computer millions of years to factor.

Quantum computing is still in its early stages of development, but it has the potential to revolutionize many fields, including medicine, finance, and artificial intelligence.

Here is a simpler explanation that a six year old might understand:

Have you ever played with a magic eight ball? You ask it a question, and it gives you an answer. Quantum computers are like magic eight balls, but they can answer much more complicated questions. They can even answer questions that we don't even know how to ask yet.

Quantum computers are still in the early stages of development, but they have the potential to change the world. They could be used to develop new medicines, create new materials, and solve problems that we can't even imagine today.

Not bad, Bard! You gave a overall knowledge of Quantum Computing!
Now, let's see GPT-4's response to this question:

Chat GPT-4's Response

Hello there! Quantum computing is a really cool type of computer that works in a different way than the computers we usually use. Instead of using the regular "on" and "off" switches that our computers use, quantum computers use tiny particles called "qubits" that can be in many different states at once.

Imagine you have a big box of toys and you want to find a specific toy, but you can only look at one toy at a time. It might take you a while to find the toy you're looking for! But with a quantum computer, it's like you can look at all the toys in the box at the same time, which makes it much faster to find the toy you want.

So basically, quantum computers are super fast and can do things that regular computers can't. They're still pretty new and scientists are still figuring out how to use them, but they have the potential to help us solve really big and complicated problems.

Conclusion of the results

GPT-4's language decreased to that of a six-year-old and actually taught the six-year-old something! Though they may have questions, GPT-4 could answer them.
Whereas, Bard started by explaining it in regular terms then explained it in a couple-sentence paragraph. Bard ended up with a insufficient response.

Currently, as shown, the resulting answer was significantly better in GPT-4's language.

We shall continue testing the competition of two revolutionary AI's and report back soon!
