Both have option to turn off history saving. In this case they keep dialog for a short time only.
Regarding glorified keyboard autocorrect... I see this a bit different.
Anyways, thanks for sharing your opinion.
I already got that you do not found a use case - and this is fine. I asked for opinion of people who use these both tool and can compare
While I am generally inclined to agree with you, I do think AI is getting a bit more advanced than a glorified autocorrect. If you are interested in hearing some examples of cool things it is capable of I suggest listening to a recent episode of This American Life. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/803/greetings-people-of-earth Act One: First Contact is the section I am referring to
This is a bit close minded and reductive when you can see a large number is examples where these tools beat the shit out of search engines, and search engines have been on a precipitous decline in quality for years now. Not talking shit; the privacy concerns are very valid and i dont think there is anything at all wrong with an anti-ai stance in these areas, I just don't want novices reading this and thinking these tools are "glorified keyboard autocorrect" when some near version of them is undoubtedly the future of both internet search and internet assistant.
Not sure I fully agree. These tool are really ruddy brilliant at certain things (like writing or translating computer code, drafting certain documents) but they are poor at being factually correct. Unless / until they find a way to fact-check themselves I don't see them replacing search, just complementing it.
