ChatGPT Is Still The Best Chatbot On The Block.

ChatGPT-4 is like the LeBron James of AI.

Sure, there's chatter about performance dipping. And yes, there’s more competition out there. But it remains the best at what it does. Full stop.

How do we know?

1. Industry insiders are saying so (e.g., Replit CEO).

2. We compare major chatbots against each other all the time.

3. The majority of AI startups are choosing to build with GPT-4.

Claude is the only chatbot that comes close - and it just announced improvements in its “Claude Instant” model for math and coding.

But mostly, that's where the list ends.

Why it matters: You’ve all seen the buzz about Bing/Bard/LLaMA/[name your AI]. None truly measure up. LLaMA is the best open-source chatbot (you can build projects on top of it), but it’s less creative and logical than either GPT model.

And yesterday, Paul Graham (the brain behind Y Combinator) said he’s seen “indirect evidence that Google’s AI projects are not going well.”

Us? We’ve seen direct evidence: it’s called Bard.

School is back, which means so is ChatGPT usage.

AI in education became a hot-button topic last Spring when every kid with a laptop realized AI could complete their least favorite tasks.

But now, things are about to get even crazier for two reasons:

1. AI has advanced since last Winter. Claude can literally summarize entire textbooks, and Bing can do academic citations.

2. More kids are in the loop.

This means teachers and schools need to gear up.

But this doesn’t mean banning AI technology. On the contrary, we're all for leveraging AI to help students learn. Highly recommend this article on how teachers can use AI in the classroom.

As for assessments? They’ll need to evolve, whether it’s a pivot back to IRL tests or more tests allowing AI (like how some math tests allow calculators).
