Facebook (yes, I’m still calling it that) just released a ChatGPT competitor: Meta.ai. This morning, I put the two head to head on 3 challenges to see which bot is better.
Let the games begin!
Challenge #1: Teach Me About SEO
I was chatting with the founder of an interesting new SEO startup. That made me wonder, what’s new in the field of SEO lately?
Let’s ask Meta AI…
Meta pulled some interesting information. But I found a lot of unfamiliar acronyms, like EEAT and SERP.
I would’ve preferred a response in plainer English.
Also, Meta only used one source, which is not ideal. I want to see it look at multiple sources and collate the info.
All in all, this wasn’t much better than a traditional Google search.
Let’s try GPT-4…
GPT-4 did a way better job. It explained the terms it’s using and looked at multiple sources.
This is a far more useful response.
Challenge #2: My Veggies
“And now for something…completely different” as Monty Python used to say.
I ordered a bunch of veggies this morning. What should I eat first?
Here’s what Meta AI said…
Meta’s response here was great! It not only told me how long each would last, it told me the best way to store them.
It only drew on one source here, but I got the info I needed. Great work!
Now for GPT-4…
GPT-4 crushed it. It told me how long each veggie would last and how to store it. But it also gave me another great reminder.
At the end. GPT-4 reminds me to not just follow a time guideline. I should also look for wilting, discoloration, or any odors.
This is a very helpful reminder. So all in all, GPT-4 won this challenge too.
Challenge #3: Gettin’ Chilly With It
As I write this, I’m putting off going in the cold plunge. It’s hard!
So to motivate me, I thought I’d ask my new AI friends about the benefits of cold plunges. A reminder of how good they are for my health might get me off my butt and into the tub!
Don’t fail me now, Meta:
Meta cited some awesome benefits, including some I forgot about! I just did strength training yesterday, and I’m a little sore. Perhaps the cold waters can help!
However, it didn’t cite any sources. These benefits look familiar and accurate, but it’s hard to know for sure without citations.
Let’s try GPT-4…
GPT-4 gave us an excellent response with killer citations. It even cited info from the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s finest hospitals.
Verdict
GPT-4 won every time. Meta AI works pretty well and is quite user friendly, but the quality of output is not as good as OpenAI.
Nonetheless, Meta AI is a pretty darn good model. And because it’s based on Llama, it’s open source.
Llama 3 may not be perfect. But it’s more than good enough for most uses, whether you’re asking a question or integrating AI into your product.
The fact that Llama is open source could propel it past GPT-4 in time. After all, would you want to base your entire business on a closed source technology over which you have no control?
Now, time for that cold plunge…
