'ChatGPT is like talking Taylor Swift to grandfather': Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma

Vijay Shekhar Sharma said ChatGPT's answers to questions on current affairs won't be 'logically good'.

Paytm founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma has equated using OpenAI's ChatGPT to talking about pop icon Taylor Swift to a grandfather who is familiar with rock stars such as U2's Bono and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters.

"ChatGPT is like talking Taylor Swift to grandfather who is from Bono and Roger Waters era. Perplexity is perpetually intelligent. Then and now," Sharma said while commenting on the difference in the results produced by both ChatGPT and Perplexity when asked the same question. The results were shared by Aravind Srinivas, the founder and CEO of Perplexity. "This is because Chat GPT has limit on data mining to a date on its models. So for recent events it won’t be logically good," the Paytm boss added.
