Bishops-long range,Open positions,better for attacking.

Knights- Short range,Closed positions,Ok for attacking.

So I think bishops are much better.

Thats all bishops are better.

Say which one you like more and tell why.

I like knights because of all the forking potential in bullet and lower time controls but for rapid I like bishops better

I like the Bishops because they have wider range and can form batteries

Knights are better, knights can move in almost full circle while bishops are stuck moving in x shape.

I beat a 1000 rating bot, I just don't have enough effort to get to 1000 rating.

Bishops are better, because they are long range piece and can come handy in endgame where the position is open. Never trade bishops for knights unless there is a reason. Or if you like knight just keep them on the board, don't trade the bishops for knights.But in closed positions the answer is different. Knight are better in it because they can hops on and come to important Squares which can even decide the game.
