**Meta AI vs. ChatGPT: AI Chatbots Compared** A comparison of Meta AI and ChatGPT was conducted by using them as personal assistants for a day. Both chatbots are available on desktop and mobile, with Meta AI integrated into Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and ChatGPT having its own app. Both have free and paid versions; the free version of ChatGPT was tested. Voice chatting, a relatively new feature, offers 10 voices on Meta AI and nine on ChatGPT. Meta AI includes some celebrity voices, while ChatGPT does not. The assessment included using the chatbots for planning a non-touristy day in San Francisco and creating a high-protein vegetarian grocery list for under $100. ChatGPT provided more detailed and suitable recommendations for the San Francisco itinerary, while both chatbots offered comparable grocery lists. In terms of image editing, Meta AI can alter photos, like removing objects or adding wings, but the results were not perfect.

ChatGPT, with its DALL-E 3 integration, generates completely new images but does not alter existing ones. Meta AI includes free access to its Imagine AI image generator, although it doesn't produce results as strong as DALL-E 3, which won an award in 2024. Imagine's images are watermarked to indicate AI generation, unlike DALL-E 3's. Meta AI is also present in Ray-Ban Meta Glasses for features like QR code scanning and live translation. Users in the U. S. can create or interact with custom AI chatbots using Meta's Studio. Overall, ChatGPT is preferred for its comprehensive answers and standalone app, though its advanced features require a subscription. Despite this overview focusing on specific features, these chatbots offer a wide range of capabilities beyond what's covered here. Users are encouraged to share their experiences and preferences between the two in the comments.
