Battle Royale: The AI Showdown

Last week we asked you which AI could explain Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, and the results are in. This week, we see just how well AI could survive on a deserted island. Both are bringing a knife, but do you think a tent and firestarter or a water filter and first aid kit are more important?

Prompt

If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 items, what would you bring?

Chat GPT

If I were stranded on an island, I would bring a multi-purpose survival knife, a waterproof shelter/tent, and a firestarter. The survival knife would provide essential tools for hunting, gathering, and building. The waterproof shelter would protect me from the elements and provide a safe place to rest. The firestarter would enable me to create fire for warmth, cooking, and signaling for help. These items would be crucial for survival, enabling me to meet my basic needs and increase my chances of rescue or sustained living until rescue arrives.

Bard

If I were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 items, I would bring:

• A knife: A knife is a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of tasks, such as building shelter, starting a fire, and preparing food.

• A water filter: A water filter is essential for ensuring that the water you drink is safe.

• A first aid kit: A first aid kit is essential for treating any injuries or illnesses that you may sustain while stranded on the island.

These three items would give me the best chance of survival on a deserted island.
