A team of researchers asked ChatGPT and Google Search the same 40 questions to find out which tool is smarter.
As soon as ChatGPT launched last fall, the internet started asking questions about whether or not OpenAI’s chatbot would be the downfall of Google. The creator of Gmail even predicted ChatGPT was just a year or two away from putting Google out of business once and for all. But as exciting as this technology might be, is ChatGPT actually smarter than Google?
A research team assembled by the e-learning company Preply analyzed the performance of both ChatGPT and Google Search in order to answer that question.
In order to determine which tool was smarter, the team posed the same 40 curated questions to each. Some of their questions were more suited for a search engine, while other questions played to the strengths of a conversational AI.
