ChatGPT 3.5 vs ChatGPT 4 for customer support

Now that the latest version of ChatGPT 4 has been released, users of SiteSpeakAI can use the newest model for their customer support automation. I've put ChatGPT 3.5 and ChatGPT 4 to the test with customer support questions to see how they compare.

Training

To train the chatbot, I used the standard text-embedding-ada-002 embedding model from OpenAI to create the embeddings and store them in Pinecone for querying. This chatbot will be the base for each of the comparisons.

The questions

To see how each of the models would respond, I asked it three questions:

1. Why should I use SiteSpeakAI?
2. How much does it cost?
3. Thanks. Does it work with WordPress?
4. Where can I find the tutorial?

GPT-3.5

First up, using the latest gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 model, I got the following results for the questions asked:

Question: "Why should I use SiteSpeakAI?"
Response: "You should use SiteSpeakAI because it can automatically answer visitor questions about your products and services, reducing the load on your customer support staff and enabling your website to speak to your visitors in real-time, 24/7."

Even though I used the same base and system prompts for these results, you can see that GPT-4 returned a more detailed response and seemed friendlier 😜.

GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are excellent options for automating your customer support and responding to your visitors, but GPT-4 has an edge, albeit at a slightly increased cost.

If you'd like to try GPT-4 (or GPT-3.5) on your own site, SiteSpeakAI would love to help you create your own chatbot.
