Meanwhile, ChatGPT has only been trained with data up to 2021, so it can’t answer questions concerning anything that came up after then. Additionally, since youChat incorporates the You search platform, it can also provide citations for answers. According to youChat, it can help you “answer general questions, explain things, suggest ideas, translate, summarise text, compose emails, and write code.”
Nevertheless, youChat shares many of the same shortcomings as ChatGPT, so it can still make mistakes as well. It is unclear what Richard Socher means by saying that youChat will be more “truthful” than other language models. Users quickly discovered that youChat often gives incorrect answers to basic questions. Thankfully, You.com also presents search results from the web alongside youChat, so users can verify the information provided by the bot.
ChatGPT has been trained not to answer any potentially harmful questions, whereas youChat does so with more openness and gives detailed instructions for queries with clear malicious intent.
As it is only the first version of youChat, it’s okay to cut it some slack. According to Socher, a much-improved version with more unique features is in the works.
