What you can use instead
It depends on the job. Here is what we reach for.
- Looking something up
- A search engine. If you need a fact or a link, search for it. You get the source itself and can check it.
- Private or sensitive work
- A model on your own computer. Open models run on a recent laptop. Nothing leaves it, and the power it uses is on your own meter.
- Quick everyday questions
- The small model. Most apps let you choose, and the smaller one is usually enough.
- A daily assistant
- EcoGPT. Your chats plant trees, and we think it's the least environmentally damaging and most ethical assistant you can use right now.
