ChatGPT and HuggingChat are two chatbots that have recently been developed and released as part of the Open Assistant project under the AI company Hugging Face. Though they have a similar interface, there are certain distinctions between them. HuggingChat is being hailed as a ‘versatile, customizable, and efficient assistant accessible to all.’ When tested, it was found that the chatbot is both whimsical and patchy – the responses it gives range from detailed and poetic to simply an error message. The most stand-out feature of HuggingChat is its very witty and comically blunt responses.
The Open Assistant project is a unique platform which was founded by a research group at Hugging Face in 2017. Their mission is to make the best open source AI chat models available to everyone. In late 2019, they released the Dall-E mini generative AI – a program that was of great interest to public when it was created, helping them recognize the growing potential of AI-driven programs.
The person behind HuggingChat is still unknown, but it has already gained attention for its charming and unique characteristics. If the people behind them manage to incorporate more features and enhance their algorithm, HuggingChat could soon become ChatGPT’s funnier and more efficient counterpart – appealing to a younger and more casual generation. Furthermore, as this chatbot continually improves, it can also answer more complex questions as well while still remaining friendly and warm. Until then, though, users may have some trouble breaking the ice with it.
