ChatGPT is an example of a text-based generative AI solution. In the emerging market of AI chatbots, generative AI is a real game changer. It takes every piece of data available on the web and trains the AI models. While ChatGPT is the biggest, a range of competitors, from Google and MidJourney and Microsoft bing, are using LLMs (Large Language Models), deep learning, and fine-tuning to establish dominance in the market. 3 Major ChatGPT Competitors: MidJourney Google Bard Microsoft Bing Midjourney Midjourney is an emerging AI vendor that’s developed its own machine learning model which can convert text prompts into images. The solution can make high-quality and high-resolution images for users to download directly to their devices.
