Replika vs ChatGPT – What is the difference between both

Just after ChatGPT jumped in the competition field of Chatbots, all other platforms seem to have faded. I know it is not fair to compare any other AI chatbot with ChatGPT and you know why.

Everyone knows the end result of the comparison of Replika and ChatGPT. The major difference between Replika and ChatGPT is that ChatGPT is already trained on a large set of databases while Replika gets trained day after day by mimicking the way you chat with it.

The similarity between both chatbots is that both of these are AI based language models but ChatGPT can give answers to wide range of questions, plan tasks for you, write long essays, act in a way you want, write code for you and from all these features Replika is deprived of. 

Well! Whatever the situation is, we will discuss the major and common difference between ChatGPT and Replika in this article. We will try to figure out which AI model is more powerful and for which purpose but before we start we will suggest you reading: Replika vs Kajiwoto

Replika AI chatbot

The development of Replika started after the foundation of Luka Inc. when Kuyda lost her friend in a tragedy. Kyuda decided to make a digital memorial of her friend with the help of his chat. She was shocked to see that the AI natural language processing chatbot was able to mimic her friend’s way of chatting and discussion. It gave birth to Replika AI which can mimic your personality by learning from you. 

You can chat with Replika and train it on new topics. Many people are using it as a virtual friend. You can make use of it to get support and guidance, get personalized recommendations, start role playing, start meditation, improve mental health. 

It is not trained for large databases and that is the reason it does not have enough knowledge about the things but as it is an AI model that is the reason you can teach it new things and train.

ChatGPT AI chatbot

ChatGPT is a natural language processing AI chatbot which has been trained over a large number of data sets. It has deep knowledge of the things and events. 

Most of the information it provides is refined information. Idea of ChatGPT arose in the mind of OpenAI’s owners when Google launched its transformer technique for AI systems. OpenAI made use of that technique and trained ChatGPT over large data set. 

Even ChatGPT is a text based language model but you can get help in any field of study and research using it. You can write codes, learn how to code, write essays, and make your educational and professional qualities enhanced with its help. 

For example if you know how to give commands to it then you can get answer to any of your questions. You can read also: ChatGPT for learning new things
