Use AI to Settle the Superman vs. Batman Debate

Ever wondered who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman? 

Have you ever wished you could settle this age-old debate once and for all? 

Here's a Cool Tip:  Let AI, Artificial Intelligence, help answer this question.

Here's how to do it:

  • Start by selecting the AI you want to use, for example, ChatGPT, Google Bard or  Microsoft Bing.
  • Formulate your question as an AI prompt. For example, "Superman vs. Batman. Who wins a fight?".
  • Ask your question to one or more AIs. 
  • Once you have responses from all AIs, analyze them to see which superhero they think would win in a fight.
S vs B
fig. 1 - Who Would Win?

Here's a Summary of the three big AIs to this question:

ChatGPT

In the comics, the two have fought multiple times, and the outcomes vary depending on the context. For instance, in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," an older Batman dons a power suit and utilizes Kryptonite to even the odds against Superman. In other stories, Superman's sheer power and speed are just too much for Batman.

So, who would win depends largely on the circumstances of the fight and the interpretation of the characters at that specific time.

Google Bard

So, who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman? It really depends on the circumstances. If the fight is fair and square, Superman would almost certainly win. But if Batman has time to prepare, he could potentially find a way to defeat Superman.

Microsoft Bing

In terms of who would win in a fight, it ultimately depends on the circumstances and the strategies employed by each character. Batman’s resourcefulness, combat skills, and access to Kryptonite could potentially give him an edge over Superman. However, Superman’s superhuman strength and durability make him a formidable opponent.


AIs are not infallible and their responses are based on the information they have been trained on. 

They do not have personal opinions or biases.

So what other matchups should you check out?

  • Iron Man vs. Batman
  • Godzilla vs. King Kong
  • Avengers vs. Justice League
  • Lassie vs. Scooby Doo

So, are you ready to use artificial intelligence to settle the debate? 

Let us know!

Get More Done with the Google Bard Extension for Gmail and Google Docs

Google Docs
Do you spend too much time searching through your Gmail and Google Docs for important information? 

You're not alone. 

Here's a Cool Tip: Use the New Google Bard extension.

The Google Bard extension is a powerful AI-powered tool that can access your personal Gmail and Google Docs accounts to help you find the information you need quickly and easily. 

It can also help you with tasks like summarizing emails, generating creative content, and translating languages.

Here's how to do it.

  • Go to the Google Bard website, https://bard.google.com/
  • Sign in with your Google account.
  • Click the Extensions icon in the top right corner of the page.
  • Toggle the Google Workspace extension on.

Google Bard Extension Settings

  • You will be prompted to grant Bard access to your Gmail and Google Docs accounts. 
  • Click Allow.

Once you have granted Bard access to your Gmail and Google Docs accounts, you can start using it to access your information and perform tasks.

It's important to note that your Google Workspace data won’t be used to train Bard’s public model and you can disable at any time.

To search for information in your Gmail and Google Docs accounts, type your query into the Bard search bar and press enter. 

Bard will then return a list of results from your Gmail and Google Docs accounts.

For example, if you type "search my gmail for STL City Park" into the Bard search bar, Bard will return a list of all emails that contain the phrase STL City Park.
