With the release of Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, there is significant buzz that it might overpower the existing generative AI, ChatGPT. Moreover, many AI PCs, such as Lenovo Aura Edition, come with the branding of Copilot +PC. Although both of these AI technologies use NPL (Natural language processing), they are different in their functionality.Â
For example, if talk about an AI-based laptop that uses both ChatGPT and Copilot as generative AI platforms having their own capabilities, the question is which is better, and which platforms offer more accurate and reliable results.Â
To get the answer, read this article. We will discuss both of these technologies in detail, the differences and which one you should consider.Â
ChatGPT: AI Generative Chat BotÂ
Well!! We all know about ChatGPT and many of us use it daily for text generation. ChatGPT uses an advanced AI language NPL to generate high-quality and relevant results based on the user commands. It is built by Open AI ass a large language model that can communicate with users in more natural and informal language.Â
Moreover, with advanced features like ChatGPT Plus and ChatGpt 4, this technology plays an important role in enhancing conversational experiences between a user and a system.Â
- Over the years, ChatGPT has evolved to become more versatile, supporting tasks ranging from code generation to offering personalized recommendations.Â
- Its ongoing improvements in understanding context and generating human-like responses have made it a key element across various fields and industries.Â
- Additionally, with the release of a prototype of SearchGPT, a search engine, we might see a significant push in the capabilities of ChatGPTÂ
Understanding Microsoft Copilot
Copilot introduces a suite of Microsoft conversational services that tend to be more interactive, enhancing user interaction with a more personalized approach. It uses Microsoft’s large language model called Prometheus. This was primarily built upon OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 foundation but with Microsoft’s special architecture.Â
It uses the Microsoft Bot framework that uses AI tools for testing and deploying software. Copilot also uses NPL to understand human language and generate a response that matches user preferences and requirements.Â
It has 3 major tools:
- Copilot: Much similar to ChatGPT which generates information from user texts from various web sources.Â
- Copilot Pro: Paid version that comes with advanced features including ChatGPT 4 and provides more accurate information from reliable sources.Â
- Copilot, Microsoft 365: A paid version that comes with a Microsoft suite of services with more personalized features like content, automated tasks, advanced data analysis and more.Â
Main Differences To Consider
To help you get a better idea, which of the two generative AIs is better? Here we list some of the major differences between the two.
ChatGPT | Copilot |
It can act as an AI assistant helping in customer service, marketing, sales, content creation, lead generation, language translation, image creation, etc | It acts as a productive assistant to help users find information, provide personalized assistance, automate tasks, and facilitate data analysis with Microsoft 365 suite of applications |
It comes with a standard free version with basic conversational capabilities.Â
However, the paid version ChatGPT 4 and Plus offer faster and more accurate responses with premium features such as better image creation using DALL-E. |
It provides free access to GPT 4 with various advanced capabilities for text and image generation.Â
However, it also comes with a paid version including Microsoft 365 apps, and enhanced features such as personalized assistance, task automation, and data analysis. |
You cannot adjust or alter conversational style but you can provide commands to adjust settings. | You get many conversational styles matching your needs and preferences. You can choose between more creative, balanced and more precise styles. |
It uses Browse with Bing to search for various answers to the command you providedÂ
It offers more current data and information but its accuracy and result may not be 100% accurate. You might need to double-check |
It uses the Bing search engine to get information for the provided commands.
It tends to be more accurate than ChatGPT still, we cannot say it provides 100% accurate results. |
Which One You Should Consider?Â
In most of cases, experts say Copilot can be used as an alternative to ChatGPT with some advanced capabilities. As we discussed ChatGPT 4 is available in the free version of Copilot but with limited responses and prompts. However, the main advantage of Copilot is that it is embedded in your applications which means it can be easily integrated with other Microsoft tools like Excel, Teams, etc.
Buying an AI-based laptop such as Aura Edition comes with the branding of Microsoft Copilot + PC which means you can easily integrate AI features within your operating system. Although both ChatGPT and Copilot offer superior user experience, with an add-on of Microsoft applications, Co-pilot might beat ChatGpt when it comes to choosing a reliable Generative AI.
