Commonly Used Generative AI Tools

Chatbots and Conversational AI Tools

ChatGPT is the most recognizable and talked about generative AI tool. It is an advanced chatbot based on a Large Language Model (LLM) that can create original content from being trained on huge amounts of existing content. It supports conversational interactions, through text prompts, that can assist people with various learning and work-related tasks.

Individuals can sign up for a free ChatGPT account (which uses ChatGPT 3.5) or the ChatGPT Plus paid version (which is the more advanced version: ChatGPT 4.0).

For a quick start, you can try Bing Copilot (formerly called Bing Chat) – which is powered by ChatGPT 4.0.

Go to Bing.com and click on the chat icon at the top:
