How well are ChatGPT’s apps working?
While trying to find vacation info, the chatbot told a WSJ reporter that “Tripadvisor is being a little useless.” They tested several chatbot AI apps, and apparently, Instacart is one of the better ones -- having your former CEO become OpenAI’s “CEO of Applications” must have helped.
TL;DR
- Tripadvisor chatbot was described as "useless" by a reporter.
- Instacart is noted as one of the better-performing chatbot AI apps.
- Other tested chatbot AI apps were slow, buggy, and complicated.
- Currently, these AI apps are slower than traditional iPhone apps.
