RESEARCH: Which AI chatbot works best for writers?

OpenAI and Google are both leaders in the field of natural language processing (NLP) and offer chatbot services that can help people communicate more effectively. However, there is a key difference in the way these chatbots handle language: OpenAI offers paraphrases, while Google offers quotes.

Paraphrasing is the process of expressing an idea in different words, while retaining the same meaning. OpenAI’s chatbot is able to paraphrase because it is trained on a large dataset of natural language, and has learned to understand the nuances of meaning and context.

Ask chatbot a question

If you ask the OpenAI chatbot to rephrase a sentence, it can provide you with a different way of saying the same thing. On the other hand, Google’s chatbot offers quotes. This means that if you ask it a question, it will search for a relevant passage from a web page or other source and provide that as an answer. While this can be useful for quickly finding information, it does not offer the same level of flexibility as paraphrasing. Quotes can also be less helpful if the information they provide is too specific or too general for the question being asked.

So, which do we prefer? The answer depends on the situation. If you are looking for a quick answer to a specific question, Google’s chatbot may be more helpful. However, if you are trying to understand a complex idea or communicate in a nuanced way, OpenAI’s chatbot may be the better choice.

Ultimately, the best approach is to use both chatbots as complementary tools. Google’s chatbot can help you quickly find information, while OpenAI’s chatbot can help you understand and communicate that information more effectively. As NLP technology continues to improve, it is likely that we will see more chatbots that combine the strengths of both approaches, offering both paraphrasing and quotes in a single service.

Right now, these AI tools can’t write your novel, but they’re getting closer all the time!
