Here’s a surprisingly insightful survey of the capabilities and limitations of currently available chatbots: ChatGPT vs. Gemini: Which AI Chatbot Subscription Is Right for You?

No – that’s not what the article is nominally about. But the tests the writer has chosen for his target chatbots are penetrating and practical. To be sure, two is a small sample from the rash of chatbots coming on the market, but both subscriptions cost the same ($20/month in the USA), they are at least the market leaders, and have quite different pedigrees (which, say, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing don’t). It’s better than sweeping generalisations made on the basis of one commercial offering, and it’s clear to me the writer has a lot of “flying hours” with chatbots.

How about some distilled wisdom from the article? Here’s a solemn warning against using your chosen chatbot as an oracle:

Chatbots love to lie.
