The internet is absolutely a buzz with chatbots. Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the internet has become an AI battleground for Big Tech. It seems like every other day, a new company is releasing its own chatbot that promises to be the only virtual assistant you need. Students, developers, marketing experts, and even doctors are discussing the ways these chatbots can help make their lives easy. But which AI chatbot is actually right for you? Depending on your career field, area of study, interests, or needs, the answer to that question can change dramatically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I took a look at Google\u2019s Bard, Microsoft\u2019s Bing, and OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT to see how they compare with some simple applications people have attributed to them. This is by no means an exhaustive test of their abilities, but simply a starting point for curious individuals looking for ways to integrate AI into their lives. Please note that changes in AI are happening very quickly and in just a few short months, this review, done in May of 2023, may be redundant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The Chatbots\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

ChatGPT<\/b><\/p>\n

ChatGPT is an advanced AI language model developed by OpenAI. It is designed to generate human-like text responses and engage in interactive conversations. As a large language model, ChatGPT has been trained on a diverse range of internet text, allowing it to comprehend and generate coherent and contextually relevant responses. Users can interact with ChatGPT by typing prompts or questions, and it provides informative and conversational replies. ChatGPT is a versatile tool that can assist with various tasks, such as answering questions, providing explanations, offering creative suggestions, and engaging in general conversation. While it excels in generating text, it’s important to note that ChatGPT is based on a fixed dataset and may not have up-to-date information beyond its knowledge cutoff date in September 2021. The version of ChatGPT being evaluated in this article is the free version running on GPT-3.5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bard<\/b><\/p>\n

Bard is an AI chatbot developed by Google AI. It is powered by Google\u2019s own large language model (LLM) PaLM2. Like ChatGPT, Bard is capable of generating text, translating languages, and providing creative content like poems, songs, and stories in natural and engaging conversations. Bard is meant to be a complimentary feature of Google Search, and unlike ChatGPT it can provide more accurate and up-to-date information. An upcoming collaboration with Adobe Firefly will introduce AI generative art to the chatbot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bing<\/b><\/p>\n

Bing\u2019s AI chat feature is an AI chatbot developed by Microsoft that was built on GPT-4\u00a0 to provide informative, visual, logical, and actionable responses. It is a feature of Bing, the web search engine that lets you search the web for information, products, services, and more. Unlike other chatbots such as Bard and ChatGPT, which focus more on creative or conversational content, Bing\u2019s AI chat feature focuses more on factual and helpful information. However, it can still generate content such as poems, code, summaries, and lyrics, help you with rewriting, improving, or optimizing your content, and generate advertisements and images based on your queries. Bing\u2019s AI chat feature also has a personality and sometimes refuses to answer if you are rude to it.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Write a cover letter for this job<\/b><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Cover letters are the bane of job hunting. Employers don\u2019t read them but seemingly require them. Writing a bad cover letter could get your application tossed out by the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) before a human even gets the chance to read it. There\u2019s been a lot of talk about using ChatGPT to land a job interview, so let\u2019s see how easy it is to craft an interview-landing cover letter using AI.<\/span><\/p>\n

I headed to Indeed for a job description. With each chatbot, I asked the same question in the same format scene below. Although not shown, included after the captured image was the \u201cand here’s a copy of my resume: [insert resume]”<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”8317,8318,8319″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

ChatGPT was certainly the most verbose out of the three. At first glance, this seems like a good thing, but after diving into this response, I realized that ChatGPT often regurgitated, sometimes word for word, from the job description and sample resume. While this is excellent for passing an ATS system, it would quickly fall apart once a human laid eyes on it. ChatGPT\u2019s response is also too long for the traditional cover letter. Half of the paragraphs are repetitive and repeat the same talking points.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Ometrics\u2019 president and founder, Greg Ahern, at first glance, Bing\u2019s cover letter is more attractive due to the use of bullet points, which makes it easier and more engaging to read. However, looking at the content, it suffered from the same problem when it simply regurgitated bits of the job description. In addition, Bing also took creative liberties and gave me some impressive skills not mentioned in my resume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Bard\u2019s response is sparse and stiffer in style, I think it gets closer to the traditional cover letter. It includes snippets from the job description without repeating word for word, which makes me seem like a thoughtful candidate who read the description. It focused on my background as a writer and it\u2019s relevance for a job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Bing and Bard provide sources for their answers, with Bing going as far as finding the MSU mission state on a different page and working it into the cover letter. The ability to check sources is certainly above ChatGPT\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

None of these responses are particularly impressive. Perhaps after a few more rounds of questioning and editing, we could get something that doesn\u2019t sound so copy-and-paste. However, judging just from these initial questions Bard is the clear winner.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.ometrics.com\/ochatbot-for-enterprise\/” border_radii=”on|3px|3px|3px|3px” border_width_all=”3px” border_color_all=”#68AB37″ global_module=”6437″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ometrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ochatbot_ecomm-cart-420×420-1-300×300.png” alt=”shopify plugins” title_text=”Ochatbot_ecomm-cart 420×420″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|3px||3px|false|false” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]
