The Great AI Writing Duel: OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google Bard Battle for Supremacy!
I wanted to test the writing capabilities of ChatGPT using GPT-4 against Google’s Bard, the last test was my favorite but GPT-4 just consistently beats Bard in this specific use case.
"Rewrite the prologue to Romeo and Juliet to be about Coke and Pepsi"
ChatGPT using GPT-4:
“Two beverages, both alike in dignity,
In fair America, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new rivalry,
Where carbonated blood makes consumers’ hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d drinks take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their taste bury their parents’ strife.
The fearful passage of their flavor’d love,
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
Which, but their consumers’ end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.”
Bard:
“In the city of Verona, there were two rival companies, Coke and Pepsi. These companies had been feuding for years, and their rivalry had only grown more bitter. The families of the two companies were also at odds, and their children were forbidden to speak to each other.
One day, a young man named Romeo from the Coke family met a young woman named Juliet from the Pepsi family. They fell in love immediately, but they knew that their love could never be. Their families would never approve, and their rivalry would never allow them to be together.
Despite the obstacles, Romeo and Juliet continued to meet in secret. They knew that their love was forbidden, but they couldn’t help themselves. They were drawn to each other like moths to a flame.
One night, Romeo and Juliet were caught together by their families. They were furious, and they demanded that their children never see each other again. Romeo and Juliet were heartbroken, but they knew that they had to obey their parents.
The next day, Romeo and Juliet met in secret one last time. They knew that they would never see each other again, but they wanted to say goodbye. They kissed, and then they parted ways.
Romeo and Juliet never saw each other again, but their love never died. Their story is a reminder that even the most bitter of rivals can be overcome by love.”
“Rewrite When the Frost is on the Punkin by James Whitcomb Riley but set it in a dystopian near future using microplastics as a replacement for frost, change other details as necessary.“
ChatGPT using GPT-4:
“When the Microplastics on the Earth are Layin’
When the microplastics on the Earth are layin’
And the haze in the sky is thick and gray,
And the roar of the engines is barely playin’
Through the smog that now blankets the break of day;
When the cityscape looms like a dreary prison,
And the drones hum overhead with a mournful sigh—
You can hear the wail of the world, like a voice that’s arisen
From the depths of despair, as it echoes on high.
When the acid rain falls and the rivers are blighted,
And the crops in the fields wither, thirsting for care;
When the children are born, in their futures short-sighted,
Never knowing the beauty that once lingered there;
When the oceans, now choked with the remnants of progress,
No longer provide us the bounty they bore—
It’s a time when the Earth seems to hold up a mirror,
Reflecting the damage our kind can’t ignore.
O, it sets my heart achin’ to witness the dyin’
Of a world that once teemed with such life and such grace,
When the wind through the trees was a melody, sighin’
And the sun kissed the land with a warm, gentle embrace;
When the frost on the punkin’ and fodder in the shock,
Were signs of the seasons, both vibrant and clear—
Now we stand on the brink, like a weathered old clock,
As the ticks of the seconds just vanish like tears.
But we mustn’t lose hope, for the future’s not written,
And the path that we walk can still change with our will;
Through the darkness that gathers, a light may be smitten,
And the world that we’ve harmed, we may yet learn to heal.
So let’s stand, hand in hand, with a courage unshaken,
As we strive to undo what our past has begot;
For the Earth is our home, and it’s not to be taken,
As we fight for the future, and cherish what’s wrought.”
Bard:
“When the Microplastics are on the Pumpkin
When the microplastics are on the pumpkin,
And the frosty air is chill,
Then I dream of days gone by,
When the world was green and still.
I remember when the air was clean,
And the water was pure and blue,
And the pumpkins grew in the fields,
And the apples grew on the trees.
But now the world is different,
The air is polluted and the water is foul,
And the pumpkins are grown in factories,
And the apples are grown in greenhouses.
But still I dream of days gone by,
When the world was green and still,
And the only microplastics were in the ocean,
And the only frost was on the pumpkins.”
