Vijay Shekhar Sharma on ChatGPT

In a recent debate on social media, Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma compared OpenAI's ChatGPT to older generations struggling to understand modern trends, likening it to a grandfather discussing Taylor Swift. This analogy highlights ChatGPT's limitation of relying on a dataset that is not continuously updated, making it less effective for current events compared to Perplexity AI, which Sharma described as 'perpetually intelligent.' The discussion was sparked by Aravind Srinivas, founder of Perplexity AI, who tested both AI chatbots with the same question about restrictions on X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil. While ChatGPT provided a generalized response, Perplexity offered a more timely and specific answer, demonstrating its superior handling of real-time information. Sharma's comments reflect the ongoing competition in the AI space, as major tech companies continue to develop their AI capabilities.
