Battle of the bots! MailOnline pits ChatGPT against Google's Bard across 7 questions

Google is hoping to usher a new era of searching for information on the internet with its new AI chatbot, Bard. The tech giant has rush-released Bard just months after the release of its hugely successful rival ChatGPT created by California AI firm OpenAI, backed by Microsoft. Microsoft has been melding ChatGPT into its Bing search engine, which once posed a rival to Google Search before falling well behind. Google execs are said to have declared a'code red' – an emergency situation – over fears ChatGPT could now end Google's $150-billion-a-year search business monopoly. MailOnline has fed both bots the same seven questions to see how their skills compare – and whether Google's solution can quell the hype around ChatGPT.
