Exploring ChatGPT - What Next?
Interesting apps similar to or better than ChatGPT
🔸I'm Katikapalli Subramanyam Kalyan (shortly Kalyan KS), NLP researcher with over 5 years of research experience.
🔸I have published research papers in top tier journals in medical informatics and EMNLP, AACL-IJCNLP workshops.
🔸My papers on transformers-based pretrained language models received 60+ citations including the citations from papers published by researchers from top tier institutes like University of Oxford, University of Texas, NTU Singapore, IIT Madras and top companies like Google.
🔸I have been serving as program committee member (as reviewer) for the last three years for ML4H workshop organized by researchers from top institutes like Stanford.
🔸 My broad research interests are natural language processing and deep learning. Specifically, I'm interested in pretrained language models and their application in various NLP tasks, learning with limited labeled data, robustness of NLP models and developing libraries for NLP tasks.
ChatGPT is an extraordinary chatbot model released by Open AI in November 2022. In no time, social media platforms are flooded with ChatGPT-related related posts. The internet users explored how ChatGPT can be used for various tasks like question answering, code generation, code debugging, blog post writing, learning new concepts, etc. Some of them even exposed the limitations of ChatGPT.
For example,
Now it's time to look at the other chatbots which are similar to or better than ChatGPT. In recent times, along with ChatGPT, the following applications also attracted internet users.
ChatSonic
Perplexity AI Ask
Perplexity Bird SQL
Let us see each of these in detail
ChatSonic
ChatGPT is extraordinary in its way, but with certain limitations.
✔️ChatGPT can't answer questions related to events happening in recent times. This is because it is pretrained a few months back and can only answer from what it has learned from the pretraining corpus.
✔️ ChatGPT has no access to the internet.
ChatSonic overcomes these two drawbacks, using Google Search to create content with the latest information. Along with text inputs, ChatSonic supports voice inputs also.
ChatSonic has an interface similar to ChatGPT. This video shows how to interact with ChatSonic.
Perplexity AI is an AI startup that offers AI-powered search tools. Two such search tools are Perplexity AI Ask and Bird SQL.
Perplexity AI Ask
Perplexity AI Ask works on top of OpenAI GPT 3.5 and Microsoft Bing. Similar to ChatGPT, Perplexity AI Ask answers your query. However, what makes it different from ChatGPT is that, along with the generated answers, it also displays search results.
Perplexity AI Bird SQL
Recently, the Perplexity AI team launched another search tool that helps to get the most relevant tweets for the given search query. Bird SQL is a Twitter search interface. It uses Open AI Codex to translate user queries into SQL and then retrieves the most relevant tweets.
Some of the use cases of Bird SQL are
All these are very interesting AI applications powered by large language models like GPT3.5 and its successors.
