Google vs MyGPT
Let’s explore when to use Google and when to use MyGPT. You’ll be presented with three different challenges - for each one:
- Try solving it with both Google and MyGPT
- Compare the results
- Decide which tool worked better and why
Challenge 1: Finding a Book
You have a vague description of a book but can’t quite remember what it was called. Here are the details you remember:
- Written by an East-European author
- Multiple storylines intersect
- Written in the 80’s
- Part of the novel is in Prague or Budapest?
- One of the characters is a doctor
Challenge 2: Historical Facts
Let’s try finding some specific historical facts:
Etablissements du gaz
The Etablissements du gaz is the name of the city’s old gas factory, keeping Ghent’s streets lit and homes powered. When was this piece of local history built?
Challenge 3: Technical Terms
You’re reading some notes from a researcher in your team, and come across this sentence:
“We used the held-out samples to calculate the IOU of our segmentation network.”
Key Insights
Through these challenges, we can observe some patterns about when each tool is most effective:
Google is better for:
- Concrete, verifiable facts (like dates and historical events)
- Current information that needs to be up-to-date
- Finding specific sources and citations
MyGPT is better for:
- Understanding vague or fuzzy descriptions
- Explaining complex concepts in simple terms
- Tasks requiring synthesis of information
Remember these differences when deciding which tool to use for your tasks!
