ChatGPT has taken over the internet since it was released last fall. We all want to see what creative AI can do. Unfortunately, ChatGPT can’t accommodate everyone at once, and you’ll have to pay $20 a month for ChatGPT Plus if you want access at peak times. The good news is that there are also many different AI chatbots you can chat with online for free, and below we’ve listed three of our favorites for you to check out.
YouChat
If you’re looking for a good ChatGPT alternative, YouChat might be the best place to start. This free AI chatbot runs on the same GPT 3 language model as ChatGPT. Unlike ChatGPT, YouChat is connected to the internet. You get up-to-date answers to all your questions and you can discuss current events. This is a significant advantage over OpenAI’s AI chatbot.
To use YouChat, you need to create an account on You.com.
Bing Chat
Microsoft has partnered with OpenAI to bring the power of ChatGPT to the Bing search engine. The Bing chatbot has been derailed more than once since its debut, but it’s clear that it’s one of the most capable chatbots currently available. Like YouChat, Bing has internet access, which means you can ask questions about the latest news, movie showtimes and more.
To access the new AI powered Bing, you can sign up for the waiting list at Bing.com/new.
Character.AI
Our third and final recommendation is a little more specific than the others. Character.AI also generates human-like responses to prompts in the style of various fictional characters and real-life people. Some of the featured AI chatbots include the characters Mario, Loki, Saul Goodman, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg. Character.AI may not be as useful as the other ChatGPT alternatives on this list, but it’s definitely the most fun and you don’t need to create an account to use it.
