- soganess 1y agoI'm sorry, that is not fair to ChatGPT. I use Copilot every day (it is the only assistant that does not need Google Play Services), and it is a complete buffoon in voice. Like, actually painful to use. I know it is supposed based on the 4o family, but it must be based on 4o-mini or something. Plus, its context window for voice is goldfish bad, on the order of low minutes (~2). And worse, you cannot write a system-level prompt for it. I am shocked at the 1.81%; I would have expected it to be much lower. ChatGPT is better on every front. It passes the “if you tweak it, you can mostly get it to do what you want” test. Copilot, not so much.
