A chatbot is a computer program that simulates human conversations through the use of artificial intelligence. Thus, chatbots can serve a variety of purposes, such as entertaining, informing, assisting, or educating users. However, not all chatbots are created equal, and some may offer better results than others depending on the search query.
In this article, Let's compare two of the most popular chatbots and advanced ones that currently exist: Bing Chat and ChatGPTBoth chatbots are based on OpenAI's GPT language model, a natural language processing system that responds to commands similarly to a person. However, each has specific characteristics that make them better or worse options when it comes to meeting certain needs.
To make this comparison, we will analyze the following aspects of each chatbot:
- Usability and access
- Factual accuracy
- Creative writing
- Image generation
- Sharing conversations
Chatbot usability and access
Both chatbots are accessible to anyone who registers for an account., although Bing requires you to join a "waiting list" first, which grants you immediate access. Both chatbots have web versions available, except the Bing site blocks all browsers except Microsoft Edge with no workarounds. You can use Bing Chat with a Microsoft account at bing.com/new, and we have an explainer on how to use ChatGPT.
He Bing Chat It is also integrated into other Microsoft applications and services, such as a sidebar in Microsoft Edge, a chatbot in Skype, and the application Bing mobile. ChatGPT does not have an official mobile app., but you can use the web app on a phone or tablet. However, Microsoft has been slower to add web interface features to the Edge sidebar, the Skype chatbot, and other interfaces. If you want all the features of Bing Chat, you should use the Bing site, at least for now.
The ChatGPT and Bing Chat web interfaces are similar, but with minor differences that change their usefulness. ChatGPT is designed to receive more input, such as longer code blocks or large code samples. As of April 2023, Bing limits input to 2,000 characters, while ChatGPT's limit is much higher (and not officially stated).
Factual accuracy
He ChatGPT It does not have the ability to index the web in real time. to obtain information, although that will eventually be possible with the use of plugins. It is limited to its model's training data, which dates back to September 2021. OpenAI also doesn't like to share how its data was collected, how its accuracy is tested, etc.
Although the Bing is also based on the same GPT technology, but tends to prefer web results over training data.o. This means Bing can answer questions about current events, such as the score of yesterday's game, next week's weather forecast, what upcoming movie releases are, and more. Bing also has the advantage of being able to access other sources of information, such as Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, and Bing Maps.
However, Bing is not infallible, and can sometimes provide incorrect or incomplete answers, especially if the question is ambiguous or complex. Additionally, Bing may be biased by sponsored results or censorship in some countries. Therefore, it is recommended to verify the information provided by Bing with other reliable sources.
Creative writing
So much Bing Chat like ChatGPT can generate creative texts, such as poems, stories, songs, celebrity parodies and more, using their own words and knowledge. However, each has their own strengths and weaknesses in this regard.
Bing Chat has the advantage of offering three chat modes: Creative, Balanced, and Precise. These modes affect the tone, length, and originality of responses. Creative mode is best suited for generating imaginative and innovative texts, but it can also be the most prone to mistakes or going off topic. Balanced mode is best for maintaining a fluid and coherent conversation, but it can also be the most boring or predictable. Precise mode is best for obtaining short and concise responses, but it can also be the most limited or restrictive.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, doesn't have a chat mode and always responds in the same way. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on what you're searching for. ChatGPT typically offers longer, more creative responses than Bing Chat, but it can also be more inconsistent or irrelevant. ChatGPT also has the ability to generate longer texts, such as essays, articles, or books, using the /write command, but this can require more time and resources.
Image generation
Another interesting feature of chatbots is the ability to generate images using OpenAI's DALL·E model, which can create illustrations from textual descriptions. Both Bing Chat and ChatGPT can do this, but with some differences.
He Bing Chat can generate images in all chat modes, and displays the image directly to the user in a separate frame after the response. Bing Chat can also generate multiple images for the same description, and the user can choose the one they like best. However, Bing Chat can't generate animated or interactive images, and can sometimes crash or produce strange results.
While ChatGPT You can generate images using the /draw command, but only in the paid version, which costs $9.99 per month. ChatGPT displays the image as a link that the user must open in another tab. ChatGPT only generates one image per description, and the user cannot choose another. However, ChatGPT can generate animated or interactive images and generally produces results that are more faithful to the description.
Sharing conversations
Another aspect to consider is the ability to share conversations with other people. This can be useful for educational, entertainment, or research purposes.
He Bing Chat allows you to share conversations via a link that can be copied and pasted anywherer. However, the link only shows the conversation up to the point it was copied, and doesn't update with new messages. Additionally, the link only works if opened with Microsoft Edge, which limits its accessibility.
And the ChatGPT makes it easy to share conversations with a button that generates a permanent link that can be sent to anyone.The link displays the entire conversation and updates with new messages. The link also works with any browser, increasing its accessibility.
Conclusion
Bing Chat and ChatGPT are two very powerful and versatile chatbots that can offer different and complementary experiences. No one chatbot is better than another; it all depends on what you're searching for and your personal preferences.
In general, Bing Chat is best suited for obtaining up-to-date information, personalizing conversation style, and generating static images. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is better suited for generating creative, long, and varied texts and generating animated or interactive images.
The best thing to do is try both chatbots and see which one best suits your needs and tastes. The important thing is to have fun and learn with these incredible artificial intelligence tools.
