The online fraud economy and the AI craze are volatile mixes. You ought to be leery of the majority of goods that make AI chatbot claims.
Avoid downloading any applications that claim to be powered by ChatGPT software. It can be challenging to distinguish between apps that are actually related to ChatGPT and those that are just out to get your money.
Avoid clicking on Facebook or Google ads for AI chatbots. It could be a con.
Use caution while installing web browser add-ons that claim to increase AI productivity. It could be a con.
You ought to experiment with AI chatbot technologies like ChatGPT, Bing from Microsoft, and Bard from Google.
But it’s difficult to know what to believe because there is so much money to be earned from AI scams or money grabs. Scammers profit from current trends. They conned people with bitcoin frauds a year ago. Now, evildoers and avaricious businesses are offering you AI chatbots. They are made possible by strong businesses like Google and Meta.
From a safety standpoint, it’s a little bit Wild West, according to Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Inflection AI, the business that created the Pi chatbot.
What you can do: For the time being, I advise only using AI chatbots from reputable companies, such as Suleyman’s. In a moment, I’ll give you a list.
This warning could cause you to miss out on a wonderful opportunity. When the internet betrays your trust, it is an awful price you pay.
Five chatbots you can rely on:
ChatGPT from the OpenAI start-up: Chat.openai.com hosts ChatGPT.
Although imitations of ChatGPT have occasionally appeared in app stores, there isn’t a smartphone app for it.
Check out the official list of OpenAI partners that have implemented ChatGPT functionality on websites including OpenTable, Expedia, Snapchat, Duolingo, and Instacart at openai.com/blog/chatgpt-plugins. Not all of these businesses currently permit you to use their chatbot capabilities.
Bing AI: It is currently accessible to all users at bing.com/new. Use of Microsoft’s Edge web browser or app is recommended for Bing AI.
Bing AI is also available on the iPhone and Android apps.
Bard: Not everyone can yet use Google’s AI chatbot. The waiting list is accessible at bard.google.com.
Claude and Pi: Other useful chatbots are those that run on the Claude platform from the Anthropic start-up. Try the Poe AI chatbot from Quora at poe.com, for instance.
Visit heypi.com to see the Pi chatbot, which bills itself as a helpful AI partner. For iPhones, there is a Pi app as well. (An Android version is not yet available.)
Suleyman suggested that you ask Pi for assistance with a task like fixing a kitchen sink.
Be aware that these AI chatbots, which are all based on a broad linguistic model of technology, might provide you with inaccurate information.
Use caution with AI chatbots that weren’t on the list for the time being.
Apps that claim to be powered by ChatGPT software and request payment are abundant in the top rankings of the Apple and Google smartphone app stores.
These apps might be beneficial, and they might even be reliable. OpenAI permits the integration of ChatGPT software into the websites and applications of other businesses.
But it can be difficult to distinguish between legitimate ChatGPT software and one that is merely pretending to use ChatGPT in order to sell you a dud app. You cannot differentiate between Apple and Google. I’m not sure if OpenAI does either.
You can determine whether the risk of using an untested chatbot app is acceptable to you. That is a good decision.
This week, Meta issued a warning after discovering scam artists using ChatGPT and other chatbots as Trojan horses to access your online accounts.
In order to hide their evil intentions, the scammers, according to Meta, developed web browser software that included certain genuine ChatGPT features. More than 1,000 links to fraudulent chatbots were allegedly prevented from being shared across Meta’s apps, including Facebook and Instagram.
Meta must also accept accountability for its own part in the chatbot scam industry. Numerous Facebook ads that appeared to be ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have been found by my colleague Jeremy Merrill to be used to hijack internet accounts.
