Since Bart is now available in Europe I have both options now and problem of choice :) People who have access to both for a while, what AI tool do you mostly use?

ChatGPT. I avoid Google as much as possible.

I find Phind.com quite useful as an IT person.

I have never heard about it. What are the benefits over generic chatGPT?

This is a bit close minded and reductive when you can see a large number is examples where these tools beat the shit out of search engines, and search engines have been on a precipitous decline in quality for years now. Not talking shit; the privacy concerns are very valid and i dont think there is anything at all wrong with an anti-ai stance in these areas, I just don't want novices reading this and thinking these tools are "glorified keyboard autocorrect" when some near version of them is undoubtedly the future of both internet search and internet assistant.

Not sure I fully agree. These tool are really ruddy brilliant at certain things (like writing or translating computer code, drafting certain documents) but they are poor at being factually correct. Unless / until they find a way to fact-check themselves I don't see them replacing search, just complementing it.

Both have option to turn off history saving. In this case they keep dialog for a short time only.

Regarding glorified keyboard autocorrect... I see this a bit different.

Anyways, thanks for sharing your opinion.

Github copilot (chatgpt) is amazing for accelerated programming

Haven't tried bard but use ChatGPT to write/debug scripts and SAP stuff. Also asking it when I have simple but technical questions.

I am also downloading and running the latest models in the local LLM space every 2-3 weeks, just waiting for the point at which they finally take over gpt3.5 at which point I'll probably not touch ChatGPT again.

I haven't tried Bard, but I've currently been using ChatGPT for writing cover letters for job applications.

Neither because AI is bullshit

[-] Newtra@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

I still use Google for ~95% of my queries because I like real sources, comprehensive documentation, and not having to read a wall of text when a one-line answer would have sufficed.

ChatGPT is a good replacement for Quora/Stack Exchange for explaining general knowledge stuff like other languages' grammar and simple science, as well as finding authors/books/movies from descriptions when you've forgotten their names.

Bard is... kinda dumb. I gave it a few chances, but it was nothing compared to ChatGPT's free tier.

NovelAI for paid usage with NSFW capabilty! It's not to be used in a conversational mode. Instead, you write a section of the story and it will intelligently fill in. It's quite expensive but it also includes an AI image generation feature as well for anime artstyles (and furry...).

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 0 points 2 years ago

Tried both but honestly haven't found much of a proper use for either.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 0 points 2 years ago

I still don't think it's much more of a novelty. From what I've used it really feels like you can see the training data in all of the answers, which obviously, but like if I ask it to write a cover letter it feels like it's some cover letter it trained on more than mine

I use bing mostly.
