When people think of AI chatbots, they generally think of ChatGPT, which is an all-purpose tool for brainstorming, drafting, and getting answers to questions.
While ChatGPT works well for many purposes, there are many other AI chat options available, each with unique features. Let’s dive into the details of some of these ChatGPT alternatives.

Ever noticed how text written by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini has a certain “robotic” quality to it? Laden with words like “leverage,” “dive into,” and “utilize,” AI-generated texts can be a good first draft to help you defeat the terror of the blank page (or screen). But whether you’re writing posts for a rock climbing social media page or drafting an e-book on investment advice, your human touch is necessary for your text to stand out and reach the hearts and minds of your target audience.

Whether you’re brainstorming ideas about your next social media post, writing product descriptions for your online store, or looking for a quick way to summarize a long report, you’ve likely turned to generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or DeepSeek.
These tools are great for saving time and effort, but their outputs can sometimes feel overly stiff and impersonal. To make the most of these tools and produce truly engaging content, it’s essential to know how to refine AI-generated text, which you can do manually or with the help of an AI humanizer.

If you’re using AI-generated text as part of your writing process, you’ll know that the output usually needs a bit of editing to ensure it’s accurate, engaging, and stylistically appropriate.
Knowing how to rewrite AI-generated text is about understanding where the AI typically needs some human input and being able to efficiently implement the necessary changes.

If you’re using AI as a co-creator to help you produce written content, you’ll know what a valuable tool it can be in terms of creativity and efficiency. You’ll also know that “humanizing” the AI output is an important step in the process of creating natural-sounding texts that connect with your audience.
Making AI-generated text sound more human is about understanding why it can sometimes come across as a bit robotic and developing the editing skills to efficiently shape it into something more authentic. You can use an AI humanizer to make this task easy.

What is a chatbot exampleYou are communicating with a chatbot if you:
Use ChatGPT to get information or generate content
Ask Siri or Alexa to tell you the weather or search for something online

In a recent IBM video about AI ethics, Phaedra Boinodiris, a global leader in ethical AI and author of AI for the Rest of Us, said that three AI-related ethical issues keep her up at night:
Climate change
A lack of awareness that AI-based “decisions” impact people’s real lives
The misconception that AI is logically, morally, and ethically infallible
Generative AI has only been around for a few years, and it’s profoundly changed professional workflows, student writing, hiring practices, and eligibility for anything from mortgages to college admissions. The technology can also lead to adverse effects, such as culture and gender biases, privacy violations, and misinformation.
Using generative AI responsibly involves understanding the risks and AI ethics.

Since ChatGPT was released in 2022, generative AI has become ubiquitous. It’s an integral part of the Google search experience, and it’s embedded in most of the tools that students and professionals use every day.
Now that generative AI is literally everywhere, understanding how it works is a crucial part of digital literacy, critical thinking, and academic integrity.
Generative AI is an artificial intelligence technology that generates original media, such as text, images, or videos. To generate this media, generative AI tools (e.g., QuillBot’s AI Chat, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Davinci AI) need prompts from human users. For example, you can prompt generative AI tools to draft a cover letter, or you can ask AI questions.
TipWhile generative AI tools can be helpful for brainstorming and content creation, using AI outputs may not be permitted in some contexts (e.g., college essays). QuillBot’s Free AI Checker can help ensure your writing is free of AI-generated content.
