You might wanna check out Bing Chat too. It's surprisingly good and free if you have a Microsoft account.
If you want something open source, there's GPT-Neo and GPT-J from EleutherAI. You gotta be more hands-on though.
Not AI exactly but Cleverbot’s been around for ages and has a quirky personality, if you want fun convos.
I think each AI has its own vibe and specialty, so depends what you wanna use it for. No single one is perfect yet!
I've been messing around with Replika which is more about conversations and companionship, kinda different vibe though.
I've also heard about Jasper AI which is good for marketing and writing help rather than general chat.
Don’t forget about Claude from Anthropic. It’s pretty new but super promising for safe and helpful chats.
Try ChatSonic, it’s like ChatGPT but with real-time internet access, pretty handy for up-to-date info.
Microsoft's Azure OpenAI service gives you access to GPT-3 models for custom apps, pretty cool for developers.
Some apps like YouChat try to mix search and chat, kinda cool for quick info with conversation.
I've tried a few alternatives like Google's Bard, and it's pretty impressive in understanding context. Definitely worth a shot!
You can also find some new or trending AI chatbots over at ai-u.com. They keep a good list updated!
