Do you use Chatgpt or Gemini?

[Cpvr]

Chatgpt is shaping up to be one of the best AI systems out there, however, Google also has their own with Gemini.

But, do you prefer to use Chatgpt or Gemini?

I have CoPilot that comes along with the Bing search engine, so I usually use that one when i just need a quick answer for something. I also really like Grok, which is the X AI system. I think that Grok makes the better pictures, at least for what I have tried, but none of them really understand what a photo should look like sometimes.
I asked for a robin flying , and it had the bird on kind of an airplane, with wings folded, and another wing in the air , like it was flying.

I haven't used either yet. Not looked much into AI.

My experience is that it is great if you just want an answer to a simple question, and do not want to do a google search and read through results. An example would be about food nutrition.
I asked which foods have the most zinc and copper, and Co-Pilot will come up with a list of answers which foods have the most of both nutrients.

I prefer to use ChatGPT when I need it. I have found it to be great in helping give me ideas for topics for forums and even helping me in titles for my YouTube videos

Gemini keeps popping up on my phone asking me to opt in. But so far I have resisted using any of them.

My new iPhone has Apple AI now, too; but I do not use that either. I actually am not much of a phone person, and do all of my typing and research with my large iPad.
Since I use Bing for online searches, Co-Pilot comes up at the bottom of the page and it is sometimes easier to just ask the question that way than to do the Bing search and read through the answers, if it is information that is always going to be the same from any website.
If i am wanting opinions rather than facts, then i prefer the search engine and finding out the answers i want on my own.
I can’t see any reason I would use AI on my phone at all.

I think the idea is that you can express queries more casually and incompletely, then enter a dialog to clarify or refine your request. But I haven't tried playing with it at all.

Basically, that is how i use it, Jacob. When I need an answer that is a known fact, AI is a great way to get information. Co-Pilot is definitely liberal , if you ask it anything political at all, which I did just to test it out .
But if I want to know something easy, like which berries have the most health benefits, or how to check my triglycerides to HDL cholesterol ratio, then Co-Pilot gives me quick answers that are easy to understand, and usually has helpful suggestions.

I really like asking questions with copilot on Bing, instead of doing an internet search to find out something, if i just want information and not looking for an article to read about the information.
Copilot remembers things that i have asked about before, and will bring it into the conversation sometimes, and all the answers are personalized for me, so it really makes me feel like I am having an actual conversation , as opposed to just searching for information online.

Today, I was making a pasta salad and wanted to add some extra greens for more nutrition, so I asked for a comparison between parsley and cilantro . After giving me the nutrient comparison, copilot then suggested that I might like a kefir based salad dressing, since I had been chatting about kefir the last few days with “him”.
I think it is great to be getting the personalized answers !

ChatGPT is starting to get on my nerves tbh.

I like Gemini and Twitter's grok ai system better.

 

[Smithy]

I have just started using ChatGPT definitely better than using a search engine.

My experience is that it is great if you just want an answer to a simple question, and do not want to do a google search and read through results.

It all depends on whether you want true facts or fictional information. Every time I search for something on Google, the first thing that pops up now is AI comments. And quite often, it's old outdated stuff, or stuff that is just wrong. For example, I search for this:

How much of the original US Route 66 is left?
And this utter nonsense pops up:

About 85% of the original U.S. Route 66 is still drivable, though it's fragmented and often runs under different names (like Main Street, Historic Route 66, or as frontage roads to I-40) rather than being one continuous highway; it was decommissioned in 1985, with the last section bypassed by I-40 in 1984, requiring travelers to jump between old alignments and modern interstates.

That is not how the Highway Numbering System works. First of all, I threw the AI a curve ball by including the word "original", because the route of Route 66 changed several times. There were sections where Route 66 was totally replaced by an Intestate with a completely different number. They could have replaced the entire highway with Interstate 66, but the states would all have to agree on that and not all of them liked the idea. So in effect, what was a two lane highway that originally ran from Chicago to Los Angeles, and later extended to Santa Monica, was later changed to Interstate highways, I-55, I-44, I-40, I-15 and I-10. Some sections of old US Route highways became Interstate Business Routes, and Route 66 was no exception.

The only way you could say that 85% of the original route remains is if you include the original route of Route 66 that was converted, not the paved roadway itself that used to be Route 66. Because once a US Route is renamed and re-signed with Interstate or Interstate Business Route markings, they are no longer a US Route.

Not tempted by AI at all.

Not tempted by AI at all.

Me either, nor do I even know what the subject speaking of. At my age I'll basically keep it that way.

 

[Krystal]

Not tempted by AI at all.

So far, me neither. I'm sure it may have its place somewhere, but I'm not interested in using it at the moment.

 

[Smithy]

I have been using ChatGPT a lot more recently I find it interesting how is knows a lot of things I ask it.

 

[Yvonne Smith]

My experience is that most of the AI programs lean very liberal, and if you ask them something that can be answered by an option and not facts, then you will receive a liberal type of answer as opposed to a conservative one, or even an independent one.
However, if the question is something that has known facts for an answer, then i think that AI can do a good job of providing a quick and efficient answer.
For instance, if i ask how much protein is in an egg, AI should be able to just supply that information. And if i then ask for an easy recipe to make a scrambled egg, it will give me one. If I have previously asked about kale greens, then the AI will probably also ask me if i want to add kale to my scrambled egg recipe, since it “remembers” that I asked about kale at some point in time.

I'm a big user of Copilot, mainly because I work with a company that pays for the upgraded version of CoPilot. I don't use it for more than some coding knowledge and having it write scripts, which just saves me time.

Most of the time I tell it specifically what I want the script to do and I test it out and have it make changes if necessary. I've learned a lot from CoPilot doing this process.

I also used the personal version of CoPilot to get me through the withdrawal stage of getting off of a particular drug. It helped me know what to expect and for how long. For the most part it was correct in the time-frames of each stage. It felt nice having it say "HELL YEAH" when it all finally passed.
