ChatGPT has taken the world by storm ever since its launch in Nov, 2022

Google has been an AI first company since 2016, and has 1000s of employees working on AI. Yet, it was slow to market and is now playing catchup to a startup - OpenAI (the creator of ChatGPT)

Google launched Google Bard - a competitor to ChatGPT, in March 2023 (initially with limited access) and opened up to most of the world on May 10, 2023.

In the last 4 weeks, ending June 19, 2023:

ChatGPT had 1.58 billion visits to its Webapp (chat.openai.com) worldwide. In comparison, Google bard (bard.google.com) had a measly 139 million visits

Will Bard be able to catchup or has ChatGPT already won? The war is far from over but ChatGPT definitely has a dominant position.
