Sound familiar? Nowadays, ChatGPT\u2019s AI-infused chatbot is all the rage, providing smarter and more eloquent answers to just about any question you may have. As someone who bothered the heck out of SmarterChild as a kid, I was nostalgic for a similar experience, so I gave ChatGPT a try. <\/p>\n<p>So, did ChatGPT win over this skeptical contrarian? It sure did. It felt like I was having a conversation with an actual human being, which SmarterChild just simply couldn\u2019t emulate during its heyday. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Want to try out ChatGPT? Here\u2019s how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/1507212\/how-to-run-chatgpt-or-bing-as-a-windows-app.html\">run it as a Windows app<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"i-was-wary-of-chatgpt-at-first\">I was wary of ChatGPT at first<\/h2>\n<p>Initially, I didn\u2019t love the idea of ChatGPT\u2026 or anything artificial intelligence-related for that matter. SmarterChild couldn\u2019t compose articles and essays like ChatGPT does\u2014a feature I considered an affront to classic journalism. Maybe it was an overreaction, but I saw it as a threat to my career. I resisted the alluring pull of ChatGPT for months. I wouldn\u2019t even use those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/1672975\/the-best-ai-art-generators-for-you-midjourney-bing-and-more.html\">AI image generators<\/a> due to copyright issues. That said, curiosity eventually won out. Also, as a journalist in the tech field, I figured I should educate myself on it, as it\u2019s important to stay abreast of the latest tech trends. <\/p>\n<p>SmarterChild gave basic information like the weather report and movie time listings, but ChatGPT will explain complex topics and write customized resumes and cover letters. ChatGPT proved to be a useful tool for those with inquiring minds. Heck, it\u2019ll even dole out relationship advice if you so desire. It\u2019s definitely more advanced and nuanced than SmarterChild. What surprised me was the fact that I kept going back to it with a new round of questions. I guess I\u2019m a convert now.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"instant-answers-instant-gratification\">Instant answers, instant gratification<\/h2>\n<p>The best thing about SmarterChild were the instantaneous answers. I was a lonely kid that spent a great deal of time on the family computer, so I liked having a chatbot to both talk to and infuriate. However, the answers weren\u2019t always very articulate or nuanced. In fact, SmarterChild was downright dismissive at times, as you can see in the below video. These somewhat indifferent responses were likely due to the limitations of AI technology at the time. As far as tech goes, we\u2019ve come a long way since the early 2000s. <\/p>\n<p>The instant answers were nice, but actual conversations with SmarterChild were often cyclical in nature, especially when you asked complex questions. It was kind of like talking to an NPC (non-playable character) in a video game where they rotate through the same bit of dialogue over and over. It was fun to provoke an angry response out of the chatbot, but you\u2019d have to spend a good chunk of time spamming the heck out of it. ChatGPT is far more nuanced in how it engages with you.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Story Of SmarterChild\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-Yy6UCeOHjI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>ChatGPT is also more respectful in tone and the answers are much more satisfactory. My questions were answered with certain level of finesse that the AIM chatbot couldn\u2019t hold a candle to. When I asked ChatGPT to tell me more about the greyhound breed (I own a former racer), I was surprised by the information it pulled from the web. Not only did it give me a brief history of the breed, but also information on the temperament and physicality. I\u2019m a bit of a history buff, so I really enjoyed learning about how they were kept as royal pets in ancient Egypt. <\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-17-094532.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"ChatGPT greyhounds\" width=\"908\" height=\"622\"><\/figure>\n<p>IDG \/ Ashley Biancuzzo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"chatgpt-had-me-feeling-my-oats\">ChatGPT had me feeling my oats<\/h2>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be a genuine ChatGPT experience if you didn\u2019t ask it about yourself, which is exactly what I did. The AI chatbot did a good job summarizing my career as a tech journalist, but I didn\u2019t expect the complimentary tone that was peppered throughout the paragraphs. In the screenshot below, ChatGPT says I\u2019m \u201cconsidered to be a respected voice in the technology journalism field.\u201d Not that I need the confidence boost, but it\u2019s certainly nice! It\u2019s definitely more human-sounding, which is a welcome departure from SmarterChild\u2019s dismissive ways. I almost felt a real connection to it.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-17-115039.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"ChatGPT answering questions\" width=\"935\" height=\"641\"><\/figure>\n<p>IDG \/ Ashley Biancuzzo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"its-impossible-to-piss-chatgpt-off\">It\u2019s impossible to piss ChatGPT off<\/h2>\n<p>Millennials loved to anger SmarterChild and I was no different. Whenever I needed to burn off some teenage rage, I\u2019d cuss out the AIM chatbot. If you harassed it enough, it would start responding with snarky one word answers. SmarterChild definitely had a distinct personality and you just don\u2019t see that anymore. Was it fun? You bet. Was it inappropriate? Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT has the patience of a holy saint. In fact, when I intentionally insulted the bot, it apologized for <strong>offending me<\/strong>. What?! Although ChatGPT offers more nuanced answers to questions, you can\u2019t really piss it off like you could with SmarterChild, as it\u2019s programmed to not engage in inappropriate or offensive conversation. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. <\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, I\u2019m less interested in insulting chatbots. I\u2019d much rather ask legitimate questions and receive complex answers, which ChatGPT does successfully\u2014though you can\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/1721988\/ai-chatbots-arent-search-engines-theyre-cryptobros.html\">fully trust AI chatbots to tell the truth<\/a>, no matter how confident they sound. The excerpt above says I\u2019ve contributed to PCWorld\u2019s video content, for example, even though I never have. You need to double-check their facts.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I\u2019ll always remember SmarterChild fondly, but ChatGPT is a much better tool overall. It breaks down mathematical equations and lines of code, and it\u2019ll even generate song lyrics. If you want to ask it philosophical questions like\u2026 Do we have free will? ChatGPT will provide a thoughtful answer. What can I say? SmarterChild walked so ChatGPT could run.<\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/author\/abiancuzzo\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: Ashley Biancuzzo<\/a>, Associate Editor\t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/author_photo_Ashley-Biancuzzo_1646959496-356.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=150&#038;h=150&#038;crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Ashley is a professional writer and editor with a strong background in tech and pop culture.
