OpenAI offers ChatGPT, an advanced general intelligence (AGI) chatbot which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.

I’d definitely recommend ChatGPT to anyone as a great introduction to generative AI and as a starting point in research, writing, brainstorming, or general questions or judgement questions. It can be a great tool to use when you don’t necessarily need an accurate answer. For example, I wouldn’t let it calculate my taxes, but I’d use it to ask some general tax questions, then ask for sources and then verify by checking those sources. I also love ChatGPT for writing and questions - it’s great for emails, creating templates and outlines, and for generating spreadsheet formulas.
In my experience, if you're using within the Microsoft office suite, it has the best integration. The usability is great and the user has to put little effort to get a task done. On the other hand, in my experience, coding within Visual Code is unreliable and the results are not consistent. You can't use with different programming languages and ask for complex tasks. Pitty because I think the VS integration is great.
Saves time by generating content about a specific topic very quickly
Allows us to quickly learn information online (from various sources or even a single lengthy article) into more summed up digestible paragraphs (and even bullet points)
Can autogenerate content on a vast amount of topics
Wish it had support for better slides generation. Sometimes we found ourselves using chatgpt to outline a presentation but build it ourselves or use a tool like Gamma
Maybe a chepear $10 plan. In some countries the US dollar can be expensive and $20 goes a long way.
I wish you could make projects with more files. They limit it. Or make the limit based on the content, not the number of files per se
Like all other AI systems, Copilot suffers from hallucinations. You have to be very careful with the output it generates. It could be completely wrong. It needs to be checked and rechecked to see if it is correct.
Copilot sometimes struggles to formulate accurate responses to complex queries. It will either provide an incomplete response or generate a response that would be completely wrong.
Right now, I am unable to customize Copilot for my specific needs. Hopefully, in future versions of the AI, this will be taken care of.
ChatGPT is a powerful assistant. As long as you understand what it is you're looking for in its results, it can save you a lot of time due to its ability to do the heavy lifting for you. This frees your time up to enable you to concentrate on other tasks.
Most of the time is up. Seldom do you find a down service. It also has improved in token generation (the speed at which it prints answers) so it's usability is pretty much great all the time. Images do take a bit to generate but nothing that breaks anything. New additions like Projects, custom prompts, and some privacy settings improve experience
It's integrated well across the Microsoft 365 suite of applications, without getting in the way, and providing useful tools. Some of the integrations need development, e.g. the Outlook add on is quite basic, and the excel and powerpoint ones can't do much yet. The implementation in Teams is really fantastic, significantly improving the experience of recording, transcription, and summarising meetings and action points.
Where ChatGPT is better: ChatGPT has significantly more use cases - it's much more versatile. Some aspects of ChatGPT's user experience are better than Claude's. I prefer ChatGPT's results presentation compared to Claude's. Where Claude excels: Claude is a more skilled writer than ChatGPT. Some aspects of Claude's user experience are better than ChatGPT's. Its image, audio, and video translations are better than ChatGPT's.
We needed a tool where secure data was not submitted to servers to process as we have some health care related data to keep private. We also needed to be able to test this tool without committing first to see if it is a fit and Microsoft provided this easily to us.
Service desk employees resolve some tickets much faster thanks to Copilot support. This percentage, according to current knowledge, is between 20% and 30%.
For administrators, creating scripts and automations with Copilot support saves them a significant amount of time. This currently stands at between 20% and 40%.
If you don't give the copilot proper instructions, you'll also get answers that aren't valuable. You do need some knowledge or training to get the right answers from the copilot.
