8 ways ChatGPT Plus is better than Gemini Advanced and Copilot Pro

In the realm of AI subscription services, ChatGPT Plus contends with formidable rivals like Gemini Advanced and Copilot Pro. Having experienced all three, ChatGPT Plus stands out distinctly. Allow me to elaborate on its superior aspects.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Here are the main points based on my recent use of ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Advanced, and Microsoft Copilot Pro:

• During the past few months, I've delved deeply into ChatGPT Plus, as well as explored Gemini Advanced and Microsoft Copilot Pro.

• Among these AI tools, ChatGPT Plus stands out for its superior content generation and commitment to privacy.

In the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence, OpenAI took an early lead with its chatbot, ChatGPT. However, in the subsequent year, Google and Microsoft entered the fray with their own AI platforms. Today, ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Advanced, and Copilot Pro are among the prominent players in AI technology.

After experimenting with all three platforms, I noticed distinct nuances that highlight the importance of choosing the right AI subscription based on your specific needs. Gemini excels at generating high-quality content from the outset, while Copilot prioritizes speed and offers more features in its free tier. Notably, ChatGPT Plus lacks integration with productivity apps like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Nonetheless, ChatGPT's longer track record in the industry provides several inherent advantages.

Determining the best chatbot ultimately depends on the nature of tasks you require the AI to perform. In this context, ChatGPT's extensive experience confers clear benefits, particularly across eight key features where its history gives it a competitive edge.

1. Staying Ahead: ChatGPT Plus Leads with Innovative Features

Will the Arrival of New Competitors Shift the Dynamics?

ChatGPT enjoyed nearly a year of operation before Microsoft Copilot even launched, and about four months ahead of Bard (now Gemini) going public. This longer AI tenure often positions ChatGPT as the first to introduce new features.

This advantage is particularly evident with Copilot, which leverages OpenAI's training data. For instance, ChatGPT Plus integrated GPT-4 Turbo in March 2023, a capability that only arrived on Copilot with the launch of its Pro subscription in January 2024. Notably, Copilot Pro offers GPT-4 Turbo even on its free tier, unlike ChatGPT Plus, which relies on the older GPT-3.5 for non-subscribers.

In contrast, Google's Gemini relies on the company's proprietary training data. Given Gemini's relatively brief history, it's challenging to predict which platform will lead in future feature releases. Nonetheless, heightened competition could spur ChatGPT to accelerate its feature development. However, Google's substantial resources, as a larger corporation, may also empower Gemini's advancement in this race.

2. Exploring ChatGPT Plus: Unveiling its Artistic Capabilities

The Strategic Edge of Accessing GPT-4 and DALL-E with ChatGPT Plus

OpenAI, the creator behind ChatGPT (a text generator) and DALL-E (an image generator), offers subscribers of ChatGPT Plus access to both innovative programs. While image generation is not unique to ChatGPT, subscribers benefit from distinct advantages compared to competitors.

Gemini Advanced currently excludes generating images of people, and Google's AI avoids creating graphics that combine images with text, setting ChatGPT Plus apart. However, for those unfamiliar with these platforms, the images rejected by Gemini can be comically distorted when attempted on ChatGPT, with human faces and hands appearing eerily exaggerated and text often appearing nonsensical despite specific instructions.

Unlike Copilot Pro, which also utilizes DALL-E for image generation, ChatGPT Plus excels in accurate output. Copilot Pro may struggle with basic instructions, potentially due to its built-in editing features, which can hinder AI's primary objective of swift and precise task completion. This attribute underscores ChatGPT's distinctive advantage in promptly delivering correct results.

3. ChatGPT Plus refuses to copy artists' style

Ethical Considerations in AI: ChatGPT Plus Takes a Stand

In the realm of generative AI, the use of web-scraped data has sparked ongoing ethical debates regarding the appropriation of written content and art without creators' consent. While all three platforms—ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Advanced, and Copilot Pro—rely on web data, ChatGPT Plus adopts an ethical stance by refusing to directly copy an artist's style (although it lacks similar restrictions for authors' styles).

When prompted to create artwork in the style of a living artist, ChatGPT Plus typically responds with a disclaimer: "Since I can't replicate the work of artists like [name], I'll aim for a conceptual piece that captures the essence of their style without imitation." Although there is a workaround—describing an artist's style and incorporating these descriptions into an image generation prompt—ChatGPT Plus's ethical considerations exceed those of Gemini Advanced and Copilot Pro, which readily produce images in specific artists' styles without such limitations.

4. Data Control: ChatGPT Plus Offers Automatic Data Deletion Every 30 Days

Privacy Features Compared: ChatGPT Plus vs. Gemini Advanced vs. Copilot Pro

When it comes to data retention policies, each AI platform has its approach. ChatGPT Plus prioritizes privacy by automatically deleting chat data every 30 days, ensuring that user inputs are not used for training beyond this period when chat history is disabled.

Gemini Advanced offers tools for content deletion, including automated scheduling. However, certain prompts may undergo human review and be retained for up to three years, posing potential privacy concerns.

On the other hand, Copilot Pro utilizes training data from OpenAI without directly using user input for training. Deleting data on Copilot Pro requires a manual process, which also clears Bing search history.

In the context of sensitive information, it's essential to exercise caution and choose a platform that aligns with your privacy preferences.

5. ChatGPT Plus has a wealth of GPTs and extensions

Enhancing Functionality with Third-Party Integrations: ChatGPT Plus's Advantage

ChatGPT, being the more established platform among the three, boasts a diverse range of GPT models tailored for specific tasks, surpassing the capabilities of ChatGPT alone. These specialized GPT models yield superior results, aiding tasks ranging from research to coding. Many of these GPTs are seamlessly integrated into third-party applications. For instance, you can plan travel using Kayak or leverage integrations with Adobe Express or Canva to transform design concepts into tangible visuals, compensating for ChatGPT Plus's limitations with text-based graphics.

Additionally, ChatGPT supports various extensions, including integrating the chatbot into web browsers or using GPT-4 to take meeting notes.

In contrast, Gemini and Copilot lack dedicated GPTs but excel through integration with their parent companies' software ecosystems. Gemini is seamlessly integrated into Gmail and Google Docs within Google Workspace, while Copilot is part of the Microsoft 365 suite.

The robust third-party integrations offered by ChatGPT Plus contribute significantly to its versatility and usability across diverse workflows.

6. Comparing Text Quality: Why ChatGPT Plus Outshines Copilot Pro

Comparing Writing Quality: ChatGPT Plus vs. Copilot Pro vs. Gemini Advanced

While both ChatGPT Plus and Copilot Pro leverage GPT-4 Turbo, I anticipated similar writing capabilities between the two platforms. However, I discovered notable differences. Copilot's output often resembled a rough draft, whereas ChatGPT's writing exhibited more refinement from the outset. One drawback of ChatGPT was its tendency to be overly verbose; I achieved better results by imposing word count limits.

In contrast, Gemini Advanced stood out. Compared to ChatGPT, Gemini's writing felt cleaner, featuring fewer instances of passive voice and richer descriptions. Rumors suggest that Gemini may have integrated data from Google Books into its training, although Google has not confirmed this. Based on the quality of writing produced by Gemini, I suspect there may be truth to these rumors.

7. Exploring ChatGPT Plus: Enhanced Suggestions and Recommendations

The Value of Verbosity: Leveraging ChatGPT Plus for Detailed Advice

In certain contexts, being verbose can prove advantageous. During my interactions with all three chatbots for advice, ChatGPT Plus consistently provided more extensive and generous tips. OpenAI's platform tended to offer a wealth of advice, especially when I didn't specify a specific number of ideas.

Moreover, ChatGPT was less frustrating when seeking specific information. While it may not always utilize the Bing plugin to access post-training data, ChatGPT often provided direct and straightforward answers. For instance, when querying about the number of moon landings, ChatGPT promptly provided the answer, whereas Gemini Advanced explained the complexity of the question due to factors like crewed and uncrewed missions.

8. ChatGPT Plus doesn’t have built-in ads

Intrusive Advertising: Copilot Pro's Approach Contrasted with ChatGPT Plus

It's typical to encounter advertisements when using free software versions, but Copilot Pro took this a step further by integrating ads into almost every response on the web, even for subscribed users. For instance, when requesting generated images, Copilot Pro inserted ads for stock photography alongside the results. In contrast, both ChatGPT Plus and Gemini Advanced refrained from integrating ads into their chatbot interactions, preserving a more seamless user experience.
