What ChatGPT is bad at

Hi!

Any DIY enthusiast or keen woodworker knows the value of a well-stocked toolbox.

While you can get by with a few basic tools, you’re probably not going to get the best results if you’re hammering in nails with a screwdriver or trying to cut timber with a pair of scissors.

A professional has numerous tools and gadgets, each serving a specific purpose. Just as specialized tools elevate craftsmanship in woodworking, choosing the right AI tool is key to achieving top-notch results in your digital endeavors.

So, let’s look at 5 different AI tools you might choose to add to your digital toolbox this year. Starting with the good and the bad of ChatGPT we’ll move on to 4 alternatives for specialized tasks.

1. ChatGPT (OpenAI) 

Probably the best known AI tool, ChatGPT is able to have human-like conversations, answer questions, and generate content on a wide variety of topics. Be warned though, it can get off track if you don’t steer the conversation well with considered prompts.

ChatGPT is like your know-it-all buddy who’s enthusiastic and keen to help but won’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. While it’s a great tool for creative tasks and problem-solving, there’s potential for inaccuracies and bias in its output as a result of the source material used to train the LLM. 

If it’s facts you need then you should consider Perplexity.

2. PerplexityAI

Think of Perplexity as your wise old aunt who has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of all things. A stickler for the truth, she always has facts and figures from reliable sources to back up her arguments. 

In the past you may have turned to a google search to answer questions or fact check information, sifting through numerous results to find what you were looking for. Perplexity saves a whole heap of time by giving you a single, comprehensive answer to your question based on real-time information from the internet. With citations and source material from established sources, you can have more confidence in the answer given.

Now, what if you want to dive deep into a subject?

 3. Claude (Anthropic)

Whereas you might use ChatGPT for your general, day-to-day tasks, Claude could be viewed as more of a thinker - like your old college professor who can handle more complex ideas and provide more considered responses.

If you’re working with larger documents or more nuanced concepts then Claude might be your go-to. The default writing style is a little less generic than with ChatGPT and the output often seems a little more human.

4. Hemingway Editor Plus

While both ChatGPT and Claude can be used to proofread your work and suggest edits, did you know that Hemingway has now integrated AI? Think of Hemingway as a discerning, literary editor - a professional who has a real way with words.

Level up from the basic spelling and grammar check options you’ve probably been using until now and get Hemingway Editor Plus to take a look over your work. You’ll quickly and easily transform wordy, convoluted text that’s hard to read into clear, concise and powerful writing. You can even set different styles and tone match your own writing so suggested edits flow seamlessly with your work. 

And if you’re looking for images, not text? 

5. Midjourney and DALL-E (OpenAI)

Midjourney and DALL-E (available with ChatGPT Plus) are like your arty friends who can turn their pen, paintbrush or camera to any style you need with just a text description. Give your text prompt and your buddies will conjure up an image to match. As with any AI tool, the better the input, the better the output so it pays to get specific with your prompts.

In the ever-expanding toolbox of AI tools, just as each woodwork tool has its unique purpose and specialty, choosing the right AI tool for the job can make all the difference. So, whether you’re crafting compelling content, polishing prose to perfection, or painting vivid images with words, selecting the right tool for the job will really elevate your creative projects.
