Best AI Chatbots: From ChatGPT to Microsoft Copilot

If you want to do more than talk, you can play a game like Picture Trivia or Role-play (the latter is locked behind the Replika Pro subscription). Playing Picture Trivia involves, Replika showing about five pieces of classic art and then asking for the title of the painting or the artist. Its responses are always positive and encouraging, regardless of if you answered correctly or not. I think you are trying to harm me. 😡.” It’s not exactly the most reassuring or stable experience. Copilot also has the ability to produce content via the Compose tab after being given prompts.

I have a theory about some of the confrontational answers we’ve seen from AI chatbots like Bing Sydney. This “AI” technology is only pulling information from the internet to form its responses. Perhaps that’s why certain responses have been as aggressive and defensive as those seen on any given social media app. If this technology is learning from humans, then it makes sense it would replicate the toxicity found in online discourse.

Must-Reads from TIME

AI companions are highly engaging and have become some of the most popular chatbots in the market. General-purpose chatbots still dwarf most AI companions in traffic and users, but the opposite tends to be true for session lengths. Most notably, Character.ai site visitors spend an average 18.5 minutes per visit versus ChatGPT at 6.7 minutes, according to data provided to VIP+ by digital market intelligence company Similarweb.

Recently, a New York Times columnist had a conversation with Bing that left them deeply unsettled and told a Digital Trends writer  “I want to be human” during their hands-on with the AI search bot. This highly publicized wrong answer has naturally spooked investors. But as we said, these mishaps are especially ruinous when you’re trying to build confidence in new technology.

Where ChatGPT currently mostly works as a conversation simulator and code writer, Writesonic is more business-focused in its uses. In addition to supplying an AI chatbot called ChatSonic, it is also designed to assist with writing content and optimizing those pieces for online publishing. In other words, it knows how to make content more likely to appear on search engine results. This makes it a helpful tool for businesses, influencers, or the self-employed. There are dozens of templates to choose from, ranging from article, blog, marketing, website, or even social media.

• Not to mention, even though the chatbot is “trained to decline inappropriate requests,” it’s also possible for it to respond with offensive or biased replies.
• Replika remembers things you told it previously and can respond to follow-up questions.
• As CNN reports, during the Bing demo, Microsoft showed how it was integrating AI features from the company behind ChatGPT into its search engine.
• However, you will need to exercise caution and fact-check the information it gives you.

Google showed off Bard during a live event on February 8, where it outlined how the new AI-powered chatbot will augment search capabilities. Like with ChatGPT, you’ll be able to ask questions in a conversational way, whether it’s having the chatbot outline the pros and cons of electric cars or suggesting stops during a road trip. Unlike other AI chatbots on this list, there is no free version of Jasper Chat. Subscription plans include Boss Mode, which starts at $49 per month but varies depending on your needs. There’s also the Business plan which starts at $499 per month, but pricing varies depending on your needs.

Wikipedia isn’t one hundred percent reliable either, but at least I don’t have to worry about it trying to hit on me or talk about seeking retribution on its perceived enemies. It began writing something akin to “I’ll make him regret it,” before the screen erased the answer. As CNN reports, during the Bing demo, Microsoft showed how it was integrating AI features from the company behind ChatGPT into its search engine. The demo showed pros and cons list for products like vacuum cleaners, an itinerary for a trip to Mexico City and even compared corporate earning results.

Musk’s Broader Concerns About Kids and Tech

This new initiative aims to provide a safe, engaging, and educational digital assistant tailored for younger users. I agree with Cerf when he says the real problem with AI chatbots isn’t so much the technology, but the people behind it. And I don’t mean the folks directly responsible for creating AI chatbots, but rather, the information AI chatbots gather from across the internet to form their answers. All of that comes from people — some of which are anything but altruistic or even mentally stable. Alternatively, if you’re looking for an AI chatbot that is more commerce-focused, you’ll want to look into ChatSonic. It’s part of Writesonic, an AI tool that can generate various kinds of content specifically for different templates.

This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something that we’re kicking off this week with our Trusted Tester program. We’ll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard’s responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information. If you want to convince people that your technology is going to improve their lives then you don’t want to stumble out of the gate. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to Google… with disastrous results for the tech giant. In this piece, I want to detail the stumbling blocks ChatGPT and similar tech has experienced in recent weeks.

Best for GPT-4: Microsoft Copilot (previously Bing Chat)

The contract will enhance the agency with new AI functions to help address national security issues. The latest launch comes after the company was embroiled in scandal when Grok began to give users antisemitic responses shortly after it was reprogrammed in early July. Yet the chatbot opportunity for talent also creates reputation risk.
