What exactly is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT, from a company called OpenAI, is an online chatbot that responds to "prompts" -- text requests that you type. ChatGPT has countless uses: You can request relationship advice, a summarized history of punk rock or an explanation of the ocean's tides. It's particularly good at writing software, and it can also handle some other technical tasks, like creating 3D models. Beyond that, it can produce more overtly creative output like screenplays, poetry, jokes and student essays. ChatGPT is referred to as a generative AI because it generates these responses on its own.
Learn MoreWhat happened to Google Bard?
Bard debuted in early 2023 as Google's response to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's AI efforts with Bing. In February 2024, Google changed the name from Bard to Gemini, in part to reflect its upgraded foundation in the company's Gemini large language model. Along with the name change, Google introduced a premium, paid Gemini version called Ultra and new Gemini apps for Android and iOS. Google said Gemini might misidentify itself as Bard as it struggles with self-awareness during the transition period.
