Battle of the AI: Chatgpt vs Gemini vs Copilot

AI Chatbots are becoming the new norm, transforming the way we write content, create art, generate code, and even make investments. You might be surprised to know that more than 987 million people use chatbots today. With advancements in Natural Language Processing, Conversational AI, and large language models (LLMs), these have become much smarter, answering queries more naturally and informatively.

In the consistent battle of AI chatbots, Open AI ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot, and Google Gemini are the prominent contenders that can produce great output even with a simple user prompt. As we have noticed in the past few months, this competition between the AI models is getting more intense as each model releases its new updates. 

ChatGPT, which is mostly used for text generation updated to GPT 4.0, offers in-depth, updated output with improvements in API Assistance, Real-time response generation, and output in various formats, especially related to coding and research.

 

Gemini is known for its multimodal capabilities. By default, it can understand data in any format. It can process text, video, and images in real-time with highly contextual responses. Gemini has various subscriptions, such as Nano, Ultra, and Pro.

 

Copilot is accessible with Microsoft 365 subscriptions and provides access to GPT 4 turbo. It excels in AI document creation, especially with Word and PowerPoint. It is a great AI tool for generating formulas, reports, data analysis, coding, and more.

However, conducting a real-time test to check their credibility regarding content generation, information retrieval, and other related outcomes is important. 

Lets test!!

ChatGPT Vs Gemini Vs Copilot

1. Testing Content Generation

For the first test, we did a performance analysis to check the basic credibility of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot: 

We entered the prompt as: Draft a 500-word article on Artificial Intelligence’s impact on PC gaming.

For ChatGPT, the results were as follows: 

For Gemini:

For Copilot:

After all these results, ChatGPT is the winner here in terms of content generation.

The reason:

• Structure of content, clear heading, word length, readability.
• It also covers the main topics of AI in gaming, such as NPUs and procedural Content generation, and doesn’t provide any unnecessary information. 

However, if you talk about Gemini, it just gave me a paragraph with no headings and technical words that lack depth and structure.

Copilot did well but fell short of ChatGPT, especially because it provided too much content in just 1 point, exceeding the number of words commanded (500). 

Note: All these tests are conducted in free versions of all the models. The upgraded version results may vary. Also, only one initial command was provided, and no further assistance was provided.

2. Coding Assitance Test

All three chatbots are trained in large language models (LLMs); we performed another test to test their coding abilities. The prompt provided is as follows: 

“Generate a Python program to print the first 10 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence.” 

For ChatGPT, the results were: 

 

For Gemini:

 

For Copilot:

ChatGPT’s Solution

• Code Style: Simple and effective.
• Functionality: Prints Fibonacci numbers directly using a swapping method (a, b = b, a + b).
• Output: Prints the line for a sequence in a single line.

Explanation: Not much detailed comment or explanation has been provided to confuse most beginners.

Gemini’s Solution

• Code Style: Clear and well-structured, returning the Fibonacci numbers in a list.
• Functionality: Handles the base cases and generates a quite robust sequence.
• Output: Generates and prints the list, allowing more flexibility by return.

Explanation: It contains many fine comments explaining the code, which is quite good for beginners.

Copilot’s Solution

• Code Style: Simple, with a list for keeping Fibonacci numbers.
• Functionality: Exactly the same as that of Gemini, with append and return.
• Output: Returns the sequence and prints it.

Explanation: A crisp explanation has been given but does not match Gemini’s.

Winner Analysis

Gemini is the winner here with more robust and covers edge cases such as n <= 0 and n == 

Gemini will give the clearest explanation, Copilot will provide a shorter explanation, and ChatGPT will completely lack any comments or explanation.

3. Testing Information Library With Latest Knowledge

To further break the battle of best between AI, ChatGPT, and Gemini, we conducted another trust, this time to check the information retrieval capabilities of the three. We provided the command as:

“Provide me updated statistics on Artificial Intelligence Global Adoption.” 

For ChatGPT, the results were: 

 

For Gemini:

 

For Copilot:

 

So, the winner here is ChatGPT.

Reason? 

Comprehensiveness: ChatGPT responds to a plethora of concerns regarding AI adoption, including rates at a global level, growth in markets, regional adoption, consequent effects on the economy and workforce, and recent developments in AI. It strikes a chord between macro trends (like market size and global contribution) and micro trends (workforce impact, AI in business).

• Data Sources add to its credibility and the depth of the statistics cited. The sites give a firm foundation of proof for such Australian information.
• Current Trends: The current events covered made ChatGPT’s answer relevant and timely, adding value to it.

Gemini tends to focus more on generative AI and its adoption by business functions, but it does not offer as holistic a view as ChatGPT. 

Copilot is very to-the-point but lacks depth in this regard: it is good for someone looking for quick high-level insights but certainly not for somebody wanting to do a thorough analysis.

Which One You Should Go With? 

Here are some of the scenarios where you can go with any of the three as per your needs: 

You can try a hand of ChatGPT when

1. You Want To Use the Most Advanced AI Features

OpenAI provides free use of ChatGPT to those with a registered account. The GPT-3.5 and GPT-4o models power the system. If one is prepared to pay for a Plus subscription, which costs $20 per month, they can access GPT-4, utilize a higher prompt limit for GPT-4o, and gain early access to new features.

• ChatGPT Plus
• ChatGPT answered the question correctly, using GPT-4o for all its free users.

GPT-4o is the latest multimodal model provided to ChatGPT’s free and paid users. Instead of having three different models for different purposes: 

• GPT-4 for text, 
• DALL-E 3 is for image, 
• and Whisper is for voice.

ChatGPT uses the latest GPT-4o to process and generate text, images, and sound. It enhances the processing speed for its paid subscribers while simultaneously maintaining or improving the performance of the unpaid users.

2. Use CoPilot For Free GPT 4.0 Features

The free ChatGPT version allows you to use GPT-4o; you can only send 15 messages every three hours. Once you reach your limit for GPT-4o, your chat session falls back to GPT-3.5, which only generates conversational text and information until January 2022.

However, Copilot can collect data from the Internet with more current pointers than GPT-3.5, with accurate cited links to sources.

There are also some other benefits. Copilot is completely free and powered by the LLM OpenAI, GPT-4. However, a drawback is that you can only get five responses in each conversation and can only upload up to 4,000 characters in each prompt.

• Copilot can access the Internet to give you more up-to-date results compared to ChatGPT powered by GPT-3.5, but it has sometimes been found less likely to respond because of stalling.
• It can also create images for you. Tell Copilot how you want your image to look, and the chatbot will generate four images for you to choose from.

3. Use Gemini When You Want a Fast, Wholesome Google Experience

Gemini is known for its speedier responses, which are now more precise than they used to be. While not faster than ChatGPT Plus, its speed is impressive compared to Copilot and the free GPT-3.5 model ChatGPT.

Gemini was not very effective in the initial stages, but it now has new features enabled through Gemini Pro, Google’s largest LLM

Gemini also does not restrict the number of speech words. 

For example, 

people can talk to Google’s Gemini for hours, unlike Copilot, which restricts conversations to five answers. ChatGPT Plus also has restrictions, with users only being allowed 40 messages every three hours of use.

• Moreover, Gemini has also started including visual elements in its interface, compared to what is possible in Copilot: Not only can images be generated using Gemini, but users can also upload photos with the help of Google Lens, along with the Kayak, OpenTable, Instacart, and Wolfram Alpha plugins.

Conclusion

In the ChatGPT vs. Gemini vs. Copilot battle, all three are winners at their place. As per the real-time tests conducted, ChatGPT gains some edge over Gemini and Copilot, especially regarding knowledge, accuracy, and advanced versions. However, it completely depends on your use case and your expectations of the chatbot. Moreover, with the latest updates, we cannot underestimate any of the AI models, and it’s better to use a combination of all three for advanced content output.
