Here are 5 alternatives to try when Chat GPT is at capacity

Feb 22 2023

Chat GPT has proven to be a massive hit for various uses – whether it is to help you on your essay due tomorrow or to simply search about important information.

However, due to its popularity, the AI is often at capacity with many using it for their own reasons. So here are five other options you might want to try out.

Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing: slightly more difficult to use as you have to get approval to use the tool. You can preview the tool without signing up on Bing’s homepage. Simply click learn more to a prompt about the new Bing coming later on.

Bard by Google: also slightly difficult to access due to a likely waitlist. So far, only testers have access to Bard but it is apparently quite underwhelming in its performance.

Jasper: a more business focused AI. It costs some money but it is evidently worth it due to improving blogs and other material.

YouChat: YouChat has a slimmed down version of ChatGPT’s function. What is great about this AI is that it lists sources it used to give answers.

Chatsonic: despite costing a subscription fee, Chatsonic is designed to be a chatbot just like ChatGPT. It will cost you around $13 per month but has been described as Chat GPT with superpowers.
