Are All AI Tools Equal?

In this article I will offer my take on four AI tools.

• ChatGPT
• Bing AI
• Poe
• Bard

ChatGPT

Lately I have been reading a lot about ChatGPT and its newer versions.

It was helpful compiling kid friendly jokes for a book that I am writing.

People are using it for more than just research though. Some good and of course, some bad.

With the correct prompts and cleverly structured questions, you can use ChatGPT to research topics, offer outlines and topics for blog articles or even evaluate a prepublished article for ranking on SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages)

On the other end of the spectrum, some people are using it to generate their content.

The reason that I think that this can be bad is that I want to build trust and recognition by creating my own content in my own style.

Another negative aspect is that this is developing technology so it can be prone to giving incorrect or incomplete information.

I am learning more each day that AI chatbots can be leveraged to speed up the research process as long as you do due diligence and check the facts.

Bing AI

Bing AI, at first glance, appears to work the same as ChatGPT and other chatbots.

It definitely has some learning to do as it is in the early stages of Beta.

I received an email telling me, “You’re in!!”. “Here is your opportunity try the new Bing AI.”

The link only took me to the Bing homepage. So I did a search for it and found that I needed to download the app from Google Playstore.

After I downloaded and opened the app, I began to ask it some questions.

I asked about ranking blog articles and what it would look for as metrics for getting on page one of SERPs.

No matter how I phrased the question, I got back different versions of the same answer.

It kept giving me the definition of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and a list of SEO metrics that Google uses for ranking content.

Not very impressive at this point in its development but I’ll be checking back with it periodically.

Poe

Poe is an AI tool that is featured on Quora.

It too is in its Beta version but it gives much more precise answers than Bing AI.

I stumbled upon it while trying to figure out why so many different people were submitting very similar if not exactly the same answers to spaces that I run.

I first noticed that many answers were structured in the same manner.

Then I noticed that some started with “As I am a language model, I have no opinion on…”.

I immediately thought that it was content being created by ChatGPT so I plugged the question in as written but the answers didn’t match.

Eventually someone requested my answer to a question and at the bottom there was a “Try the new Poe AI tool"

Ah ha moment!

I went back and found one of the questions that I suspected of being AI created and typed it into Poe.

It gave me the exact answer that the person submitted to my space.

Soon I tested other answers that looked similar and found that some people were removing the intro/conclusion, adding their own and leaving the body of the answer as is.

My takeaway is that Poe does offer some excellent answers with helpful information.

However, when I asked Poe if it thinks that it is a reliable source for research.

Its answer stated that it is still learning but had no reliable information for after 2021 because it hasnt gotten that far yet.

Honesty from an AI…

Google’s Bard

Since Google is the search engine that is used and trusted the most, I saved Bard for last.

A few days ago I received an invitation to join Bard’s waiting list so I jumped on it.

Last night I got my turn.

Because it was getting late I didn’t get to ask many questions and I fell asleep wondering what to ask next.

This morning I woke up and opened Bard.

As I was pouring a cup of coffee, an idea popped into my head.

I typed into the box

Me: Can you evaluate this article (url to article) for how it will rank on SERPs.

I gave it the url to my most recent blog article because I don’t have an unpublished one ready yet. Above is the exact wording that I used for my query.

Below is Bards reply.

*******************************

Bard: Sure, I can help you with that.

The article you linked to is about how to design a blog that people will love and follow. It covers a number of important topics, such as choosing the right topic, creating high-quality content, and promoting your blog.

Overall, I think the article is well-written and informative. It provides helpful tips and advice that can be used by anyone who wants to start or improve their blog.

However, there are a few things that could be improved to make the article more likely to rank well in Google's SERPs.

First, the article could be longer. Google tends to rank longer articles higher than shorter ones. The article you linked to is only about 1,500 words long. It would be helpful to add more information and detail to the article.

Second, the article could use more keywords. Keywords are words or phrases that people use to search for information online. When you include relevant keywords in your content, it helps Google to understand what your article is about and to rank it higher in the SERPs. The article you linked to does include some keywords, but it could use more.

Third, the article could use more internal links. Internal links are links from one page on your website to another page on your website. Google uses internal links to understand the structure of your website and to determine how important each page is. The article you linked to does include a few internal links, but it could use more.

Fourth, the article could use more external links. External links are links from your website to other websites. Google uses external links to understand the quality of your website and to determine how relevant your content is to other websites. The article you linked to does include a few external links, but it could use more.

Overall, I think the article you linked to is a good start. However, there are a few things that could be improved to make it more likely to rank well in Google's SERPs. By following the tips I have provided, you can improve the chances of your blog ranking higher in the search results and attracting more readers.

Personally, I am truly impressed!

I asked for an evaluation and received a detailed report rating and then offering steps to take for improved results.

In my opinion, even being in its Beta stage, Bard offered the best answers to my questions.

I hope that you enjoyed my article and I hope that you will engage in the comments.
