Introduction
Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and have garnered significant attention from researchers and practitioners. These models, built on advanced deep learning architectures, are trained on massive datasets to acquire a deep understanding of human language and its nuances. Consequently, LLMs exhibit remarkable capabilities across various AI tasks, including natural language processing, text generation, and even decision-making.
In recent years, decision-making has emerged as a critical area where LLMs have showcased their potential [1]. By leveraging their extensive language understanding and pattern recognition abilities, LLMs can analyze complex information, reason through different scenarios, and generate informed decisions. This has opened up new possibilities for applying LLMs in decision-making processes across diverse domains, ranging from finance and healthcare to customer service and legal analysis.
Among the numerous LLMs developed, Bard and GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) have emerged as prominent contenders. Bard is known for its superior logical reasoning capabilities, while GPT has garnered attention for its exceptional performance in tasks such as text generation and language understanding. Comparing the decision-making efficiency of these two LLMs can provide valuable insights into their relative strengths and weaknesses, enabling practitioners to make informed choices when employing LLMs in decision-making contexts.
The primary objective of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of Bard and GPT in terms of their decision-making efficiency across different domains. By evaluating their performance using carefully designed domain-specific questions, we aim to quantify their abilities and uncover any discernible variations in their decision-making effectiveness.
Understanding the relative performance of Bard and GPT in decision-making is of paramount importance for several reasons. Firstly, decision-making is a complex cognitive process that involves assessing information, reasoning, and selecting the best course of action. LLMs have the potential to augment and automate decision-making processes, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy. However, the effectiveness of LLMs may vary depending on the specific domain and context in which decisions are made. By comparing Bard and GPT, we can identify the domains where each model excels, allowing us to harness their strengths in relevant decision-making scenarios.
Secondly, real-world decision-making often involves different types of tasks that rely on diverse cognitive skills. For example, logical reasoning tasks require the ability to analyze relationships and draw valid conclusions, while error detection tasks demand a keen eye for identifying deviations and inconsistencies. By examining the performance of Bard and GPT across these varied domains, we can gain insights into their respective strengths and weaknesses, which can guide practitioners in selecting the most suitable model for specific decision-making requirements.
Lastly, as LLMs continue to advance and find applications in critical decision-making domains such as healthcare diagnostics, legal analysis, and financial forecasting, it becomes essential to understand their capabilities and limitations. By conducting a thorough evaluation of Bard and GPT, we aim to contribute to the knowledge base surrounding LLMs and provide valuable insights for practitioners and researchers alike.
In the subsequent sections of this paper, we will detail the methodology employed for evaluating Bard and GPT's decision-making efficiency, present the specific domains chosen for analysis, and describe the designed questions tailored to each domain. We will then present the results of the comparative analysis, discussing the performance of Bard and GPT in each domain. Finally, we will provide a comprehensive discussion and conclusion, summarizing the findings and outlining the implications for the practical application of LLMs in decision-making contexts.
Through this comparative study, we aim to enhance our understanding of the decision-making efficiency of Bard and GPT, empowering practitioners to make informed decisions regarding the selection and utilization of LLMs in real-world scenarios.

Procedure To evaluate the decision-making efficiency of Bard and GPT, a systematic and standardized procedure was followed. The following steps were taken to ensure a fair comparison between the two LLMs:

Presentation of Domain-Specific Questions:
Both Bard and GPT were presented with a set of domain-specific questions that were cognitive tasks in nature. These questions were carefully designed to assess the decision-making capabilities of the LLMs in different domains, including logical reasoning, error detection, and data analysis. Each question was tailored to target the specific skills and competencies required in its respective domain.

Scoring System:
A scoring system was established to assign a value of 1 point to each correctly answered question. This system allowed for a quantifiable measurement of the LLMs' performance in each domain. By assigning a point for every correctly answered question, a numerical score was obtained for both Bard and GPT, reflecting their decision-making proficiency within each domain.

Calculation of Total Score:
The total score for each LLM was calculated based on the number of correctly answered questions. By summing up the individual scores obtained for each question within a domain, a cumulative score was determined. This total score provided an overall measure of the decision-making efficiency of Bard and GPT in each evaluated domain.
The procedure ensured a consistent and standardized approach to evaluating the decision-making efficiency of Bard and GPT. By presenting both LLMs with the same set of domain-specific questions and using a scoring system, a clear comparison was made possible. The total scores allowed for an objective assessment of the LLMs' performance, enabling a meaningful comparison of their decision-making abilities in different domains.
It is important to note that the procedure employed in this study focused on quantitatively evaluating the decision-making efficiency of Bard and GPT. While this approach provided valuable insights into their performance, it is also essential to consider qualitative factors and the context in which decision-making occurs. Therefore, the results should be interpreted in conjunction with a broader understanding of the LLMs' capabilities and limitations in real-world decision-making scenarios.

Data Analysis
The data analysis focused on three domains of decision-making efficiency: Logical Reasoning Dependent Decision Making (LRDM), Error Detection Dependent Decision Making (EDM), and Data Analysis Dependent Decision Making (DADM). For each domain, a specific set of questions was designed to evaluate the decision-making performance of Bard and GPT.
In the domain of Logical Reasoning (LRDM), Bard and GPT both obtained a score of 3 points, indicating a similar proficiency in logical reasoning tasks.
