Both ChatGPT and Bing Chat have become the most well-known and used Artificial Intelligence platforms to generate texts based on a description. However, each one has some particularities that make them better or worse options when it comes to satisfying certain needs , so it is necessary to know well what their strengths and weaknesses are.
If you want to know which AI is better for certain cases, then we show you the key differences to know which one we should use in each case.
Updated information
The data with which ChatGPT was trained is limited to the year 2021 . That is to say, that any information that we look for after that date, ChatGPT will not be able to respond correctly, being able to invent the data to offer a correct answer. However, Bing Chat has an internet connection, so all the information it shows is always up to date, which allows us to ask for any current data, such as the result of yesterday’s game, the weather forecast for next week, what are the next movie releases and so on.
GPT version
Both ChatGPT and Bing Chat use the GPT training model, a natural language processing system that responds to prompts in a similar way to a human, so we can have seamless conversations. However, ChatGPT uses GPT version 3.5 while Microsoft‘s solution uses GPT version 4 . GPT-4 is much more complete and efficient when it comes to generating texts naturally.
After the last update of ChatGPT, it has started to use GPT-4, however, this model is only available to paid users , a problem that we will not find with Bing Chat, who has used GPT since its launch. -4 and there is no paywall that limits its use.
Solve operations
If we want to use an AI to solve mathematical problems, the free ChatGPT solution, the one powered by GPT-3.5, will offer less accurate results than Bing Chat with GPT-4, since this latest version is much more complete and is capable of processing much more data and better understand what we are asking you.
Conversation styles
ChatGPT only has one way to answer questions while Bing Chat has up to 3 options: Creative , Balanced , Accurate . This is because this platform is based on GPT-4, while the free version of ChatGPT stays at GPT-3.5.
Security
Both platforms include security measures that, if they suspect that we want to do something illegal, they quickly stop working and invite us to start a new conversion all over again. With the launch of ChatGPT, many were the friends of the alien who began to use this platform to generate malicious code to develop malware and spam emails.
Accessibility
ChatGPT only works through the web browser and is currently not available through mobile applications. Bing Chat works seamlessly through Microsoft Edge on mobile devices, however it only works through this browser on these devices, which can be a problem if it’s not our usual browser.
Price
As discussed above, the GPT-4 based version of ChatGPT is available under a paywall priced at $20/month . However, Bing Conversations chat, also based on GPT-4 is completely free.
