- It can make up facts (hallucinations)
What ChatGPT is like in practice
Where it stands out
Its advantage is not answering better than the rest, it is doing more things without leaving the same window: generating images, talking by voice, running code, reading files and remembering what you told it weeks ago. For anyone wanting one AI tool rather than juggling five, it remains the most convenient answer.
Where it falls short
It writes with a very recognisable structure — lists, closing summaries, transition sentences — that works for informational content and gives away text meant to sound personal. And it still invents specific facts with complete confidence: names, figures and links that do not exist. Anything you plan to publish needs checking elsewhere.
How its pricing works
The free plan is fine for occasional queries but drops you to a weaker model as soon as you use it daily, without much warning. The paid tier is around $20/month and that is where the complete product lives. Before subscribing, use it free for a week on your real work: if you never hit the limit, you do not need it.
Is ChatGPT right for you?
Yes, if…
You want a single tool that does almost everything: writing, coding, generating images, talking by voice and analysing files. It is the safest pick if you are not sure what you will need.
No, if…
You need answers with verifiable sources — Perplexity is better there — or you want top quality at one specific task. Paying is also not worth it if your use is occasional.
