The Financial Times tested two of the most popular AI chatbots by giving them a range of tasks and creative challenges.

Over the past few weeks, Open AI (backed by Microsoft) and Google have been unofficially battling each other in the AI ​​arena. The Chat GPT Plus and Bard chatbots respectively differ in how they answer complex questions, understand text, and provide creative answers.

“Dialogue engines” are trained to respond based on texts from the internet, from sources such as Wikipedia, books and other documents. In this way, they predict the next possible word in a sentence, and this allows them to give answers that in most cases are indistinguishable from human speech.
