What is Generative AI Chatbot?
within a chat interface.
Such tools came to light with the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022.
[1]
And guess who uses such tools the most?
65% of those users were millennials and GenZ and 72% of the entire survey sample were employed.
So here we are with two options:Bing CopilotandDuckDuckGo AI Chat.
Further sections explore these two in detail before comparing them in the end.
What is Bing Copilot?
In November 2023, Microsoft rebranded Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise as Copilot.
At present, its available to anyone using Microsoft Edge web client or Bing search.
You dont need a Microsoft account for using Copilot.
But the recent Copilot version does not offer that flexibility.
Instead, its up to Copilot itself to choose the appropriate mode automatically based on the user input.
Copilot can also take voice input and create AI images.
However, one can switch to Copilot Pro for unrestricted availability to top end GPTs.
Here are a few prompts and their response via Microsoft Copilot.
Copilots responses, as you see in the above pictures, are good at day-to-day activities.
What is DuckDuckGo AI Chat?
DuckDuckGo AI Chat is a free chatbot launched in June 2024.
It does not ask for any registration and the chats are completely anonymous.
DuckDuckGo does that by removing user metadata and IP address and querying the LLMs itself on their behalf.
Its completely free, with an undisclosed daily usage limit.
DuckDuckGo has mentioned plans for paid versions offering higher usage caps and more advanced models.
Users can try DuckDuckGo AI chat on any web internet tool by visitingduck.aiorduckduckgo.com/chat.
Even a simple refresh clears the conversation, prompting the user to start again.
Similarly, users cant change devices and carry on with their chats.
Check out a few responses I got with DuckDuckGo AI Chat (GPT-4o).
The Cost of Privacy!
Copilot (business version) is well integrated with Office 365, proving its worth for business applications.
Additionally, one can also use it without registering with Microsoft.
At this stage, Copilot is simply more productive and better.
