ChatGPT: The Smarter AIM Chatbot
If you belong to the millennial generation, then you must remember SmarterChild, the intelligent chatbot that simulated human conversation. However, ChatGPT's AI-infused chatbot has taken this experience to a new level, providing smarter and more eloquent answers to any question you may have.
ChatGPT has been designed to be a speaker and writer, providing assistance in your day-to-day life. If you're curious, leave it to ChatGPT to satiate that curiosity with well-thought-out answers. It provides an experience that makes it feel like you're talking to a human, something SmarterChild couldn't emulate during its time.
Initially, I was skeptical of ChatGPT and anything artificial intelligence-related. I saw it as a threat to my career as a journalist, but since I work in the tech field, I figured I should educate myself on it. SmarterChild provided basic information, but ChatGPT can explain complex topics and even write customized resumes and cover letters. It’s definitely more advanced and nuanced than SmarterChild.
The Advancements of ChatGPT
SmarterChild was unable to articulate nuanced answers or carry on detailed conversations. The answers were instantaneous, but the conversation was often cyclical. Talking to the AI chatbot was much like talking to an NPC (non-playable character) in a video game, with them rotating through the same dialogue over and over. In comparison, ChatGPT engages with you on a more nuanced and respectful level, providing satisfactory answers to all your questions.
ChatGPT provides an array of features, ranging from discussing a certain topic to generating original song lyrics. ChatGPT doesn't shy away from difficult topics and offers in-depth and well-thought-out answers. However, it's important to double-check their facts, as you can't fully trust AI chatbots to tell the truth, no matter how confident they sound.
ChatGPT vs. SmarterChild
SmarterChild had a defined personality, and millennials enjoyed testing its limits. On the other hand, ChatGPT has been programmed to not engage in any inappropriate or offensive conversation. Thus, you can't really agitate or upset it like you could with SmarterChild.
Overall, ChatGPT is a much better tool than SmarterChild, breaking down mathematical equations, lines of code, and philosophical questions with ease. SmarterChild may hold some nostalgic memories, but ChatGPT has taken the mantle of the smarter AIM chatbot we’ve always wanted.
