Agreed, our chat server ran a Markov chain bot for fun.

In comparison to ChatGPT on a 2nd server I frequent it had much funnier and random responses.

ChatGPT tends to just agree with whatever it chose to respond to.

As for real world use. ChatGPT 90% of the time produces the wrong answer. I’ve enjoyed Circuit AI however. While it also produces incorrect responses, it shares its sources so I can more easily get the right answer.

All I really want from a chatbot is a gremlin that finds the hard things to Google on my behalf.
