    Many times it's on par with ChatGPT but always faster, which is actually quite convenient considering how long the answers of LLMs usually are.

    A good alternative to ChatGPT. Claude uses a different technology, so it's truly a separate development. However, Claude is more censored on many topics. Also, you only get 10 free messages every few hours for any internal version of the chat.

    Allows you to use ChatGPT without signing up for OpenAI. Also allows you to use many other AIs and to create your own personality for them.

    Very useful for comparing the output of different AIs.

    Too limited in its responses and capabilities, overly censored, too lazy, and with a very short context menu, even with a paid subscription.

    And the fact that it couldn't remember that I wanted to communicate in one language and constantly started talking to me in another just because my geolocation was in that country. Really? No, come on!
