You should use Chat GPT if…
1. You're interested in experiencing the excitement firsthand
ChatGPT has been the top AI chatbot since it began, and it’s been the model for many other AI chatbots that have come out since then. Because of this, it’s the one that people know the most and like the best. The excitement is totally worth it. ChatGPT is a really good chatbot that can help and give ideas on lots of different things, even techie stuff like writing and coding. Using ChatGPT is free and open to everyone right now. So, if you’re wondering how an AI chatbot could help you, you should give the one that started it all a try — you’ll find out what you prefer and need in a chatbot helper.
2. You want clarity on topics or events from before 2021
ChatGPT learned from the entire web before 2021. So, if you have questions about stuff that happened before 2021, ChatGPT can talk to you about it in a detailed way.
You can ask not only regular things you’d search for but also math or coding stuff. This is super helpful when you’re studying or researching and want a clear explanation, like from a tutor. The cool thing is, ChatGPT is always here to help (unless it’s too busy), and it can answer all your questions.
At Microsoft Build 2023, they said that ChatGPT will use Bing as its main search tool. This means ChatGPT can look up stuff online, like current events, and even give you sources for what it says.
Right now, though, this feature is for ChatGPT Plus users. Later on, anyone can use it for free by adding a Bing plugin to ChatGPT.
3. You want long, in-depth responses
Based on our tests, ChatGPT gives much deeper answers than other chatbots, even Bing’s.
For instance, if you throw a big question like “What is life?” at ChatGPT, it will write a bunch of paragraphs explaining lots of different ideas about it.
But if you ask Bing’s chatbot the same thing, you only get a tiny three-sentence reply:
“Life is all about how things exist and do stuff. The big difference between life and not-life is that life uses energy to grow and think. Is there something specific you want to know about life?”
Not only does ChatGPT give better answers than other chatbots, but it also doesn’t stop you from asking more questions. Unlike Bing Chat, there’s no limit to how curious you can be with ChatGPT.
And use Bing’s AI Chatbots if…
1. You want information on current events for free
It looks at everything on the internet to give you the newest updates, stories, and info when you ask. Just like ChatGPT, Bing Chat talks like a person and can help with news questions. Sometimes, news makes us curious, and Bing Chat is awesome for finding out more.
Also, Bing helps ChatGPT search, so it can talk about current stuff too. But you need to pay for ChatGPT Plus to use this. So, for current info, Bing’s chatbot is the best.
2. You want to confirm your sources
Using ChatGPT might be tricky because it doesn’t show where it gets its answers, so you can’t know if they’re right. ChatGPT can make mistakes. Bing Chat fixes this by showing you where it found its answers. When you ask, Bing Chat will give you a link to the place it got the info, so you can check. Click the link, and you’ll see the webpage.
This is really helpful when you need to be sure, like for work or school stuff, research, or just chatting. Also, if you ask math questions, Bing Chat shows you the math and where it came from. It’s like proof for the answer.
This proof thing is now in ChatGPT too, because of Bing. But you need ChatGPT Plus and Bing for it.
So in which cases Bard is chosen?
1. You want the up-to-date information
The information from Bard is generally up-to-date. Bard is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which is constantly being updated. This means that Bard has access to the latest information on a wide range of topics.
However, it is important to note that Bard is still under development, so it is not always able to provide the most accurate or complete information. If you are looking for information on a specific topic, it is always best to do your own research and consult multiple sources.
2. You want some other related information and suggestions when receiving the answers
When you ask Bard a question, it will try its best to answer your question in a comprehensive and informative way. However, it is not always possible for Bard to provide all of the information that you need. In these cases, you may want to ask Bard for some other related information or suggestions.
For example, if you ask Bard “What is the capital of France?”, Bard will likely answer “Paris”. However, you may also want to know about the history of Paris, the population of Paris, or other interesting facts about Paris. In this case, you could ask Bard “Can you tell me more about Paris?” or “Can you give me some suggestions for things to do in Paris?”
Bard will then try its best to provide you with the information that you need. It may also suggest other related topics that you might be interested in.
3. You want the answer can be generated into many formats such as text, table,... and can be exported to Excel Sheet
