ChatGPT (Generative AI) and the
Competition

Generative AI is a type of AI that can generate text images, videos,
and other content in response to a user prompt based on its training
data.

ChatGPT is an example of a text-based generative AI solution.

In the emerging market of AI chatbots, generative AI is a real game
changer. It takes every piece of data available on the web and trains the
AI models.

While ChatGPT is the biggest, a range of competitors, from Google and
MidJourney and Microsoft bing, are using LLMs (Large Language
Models), deep learning, and fine-tuning to establish dominance in the
market.
3 Major ChatGPT Competitors:

MidJourney

Google Bard

Microsoft Bing
Midjourney

Midjourney is an emerging AI vendor that’s developed its
own machine learning model which can convert text
prompts into images.

The solution can make high-quality and high-resolution
images for users to download directly to their devices.

The Midjourney Prompt Generator uses GPT-4 or ChatGPT
to create detailed and highly-specific Midjourney
prompts.

The Midjourney Prompt Generator needs only a basic
description containing a few words. Using this description,
the prompt generator will create different prompt
options.

You can provide the Midjourney Prompt Generator with
feedback and have it improve its suggested image.
Google Bard

Bard is Google's experimental, conversational, AI chat
service.

Like most AI chatbots, Bard can code, answer math
problems, and help with your writing needs.

It’s a great brainstorming tool, outliner, and collaborator.
People have undoubtedly used it to write essays, articles,
and emails, as well as for creative tasks like writing stories
and poems.

Google Bard is now powered by Google's very own and
most advanced large language model (LLM) PaLM 2, which
was unveiled at Google I/O 2023.

Beyond the basics, Google Bard has a few important
features that set it apart from other chatbots. First, you’ll
see that with every response, Bard also gives you two other
“drafts” of the same answer.

Secondly, you can use Bard to write and debug code.
Microsoft Bing AI

Bing Chat is an AI-powered assistant built on the GPT-4
Generative machine learning model, which means that
it was provided with a large data set that’s capable of
combing through and synthesizing data into answers.

It's also plugged into the Bing search engine, so it's also
capable of searching the internet for additional
information.

You can ask Bing Chat both simple and complex
questions; use it for research; request summaries of
articles, books, events, the news, sports results, etc.; ask
for product comparisons.

Since it’s a natural language AI, you can converse with it
the same way you would with another person, and it
will reply the same way.
Benefits of Chat Bots

The basic purpose of AI is to enable computers to execute such intellectual jobs
as decision making, trouble resolving, understanding, understanding human
interaction in any kind of language as well as convert amongst them.

They help businesses with customer service, collect personal data to increase
interactions with brands, and public relations letters if needed

24/7 availability and immediate assistance
Conclusion

ChatGPT excels in broad conversational scenarios and generating human-like
text.

Bing AI leverages Microsoft's ecosystem, emphasizing contextual
understanding and user engagement.

Google Bard is very similar to other chatbots, what sets it apart is after every
response Bard also gives you 2 other drafts of the same answer and can be
used to write and debug codes.

Midjourney allows users to generate unique artwork such as characters,
images and depictions through short text promts
