Which AI Chatbot Should I Use And When? š¤
Chatbots are like seasons in Greyās Anatomy: there are way too many of them.
You have ChatGPT, Bing, Bard, Claude, Pi ⦠the list goes on. Each one claims to be the best. The truth is, theyāre all good at different things.
Hereās a quick rundown of when itās optimal to use each chatbot at work:
Writing: ChatGPT-4 (the Plus version) is unrivaled when it comes to writing anything: research, content, and emails. If you canāt dish out $20/month, you can still access GPT-4 via Bing Chat.
Analyzing documents/PDFs: Use Claude-2. It can summarize and quote hundreds of pages of context from research papers to books.
Doing research: Bing Chat takes the lead if you're looking for credible sources and real-time information. ChatGPT is great if you want to learn about a new topic.
Analyzing Data: ChatGPT-4 with Code Interpreter is the champ for any data-related tasks. It can analyze files, generate any type of chart, and clean data.
Analyzing Images: Bard can āseeā images you feed it, such as receipts and documents, but it tends to make sh*t up, so proceed with caution.

ChatGPT Outperforms Medical Students On Reasoning Exams š

To any parents paying $300k for their kidās med school: I apologize in advance.
We know already that ChatGPT can pass the MCAT and USMLE.
This study asked it to complete clinically-relevant tasks at the level of 1st & 2nd-year students, like summarizing cases and creating problem lists.
The verdict:
GPT-4 scored way better than GPT-3.5.
GPT-4 outperformed students by 4%.
This was due to ChatGPT being better at creating problem lists than students.
Why it matters: Thereās a dilemma here (creds Prof Eric Strong). The fact is, professionals across fields will inevitably harness AI, just like Excel is a workplace staple today.
However, when it comes to education, should educators teach students how to use AI as they study law/medicine/data, or ignore it so they donāt become too dependent on it?
