Why use AI Chatbots for Sims?
- AI chatbots are incredibly accessible because they are very good at understanding what you're trying to say
- AI chatbots can help you understand racing concepts that apply in sim racing games
- AI chatbots are specially good for modders to help them understand techniques or concepts
- Trying to get some information? Good chatbots will go out and find it for you.
- Trying to understand a concept? Just keep asking more and more until you're satisfied.
Verify AI Output
- Always verify "facts" or data points output by AI
- For example, I asked Grok to get me the latitudes of a dozen locations at once and then I confirmed the latitudes using Wikipedia and Google Maps. Remarkably, it got them all right.
List of Free or Almost Free AI Chatbots
- Grok - Really handy because it has access to up-to-date info and always searches the web for articles, etc. Other AI don't have the live data that Grok has.
- ChatGPT - Very good reasoning, image generation, but seems to lack live data access
- DeepAI
- Perplexity AI
- DuckDuckGo AI Chatbots - Provides multiple, free AI models, even ChatGPT
- Google Gemini - Surprisingly dumb
- Microsoft Copilot - Surprisingly rough
- Brave Search - Just run a search and an AI chatbot will usually automatically provide an answer. Alternatively, use the AI icon to explicitly pull the AI.
- You.com AI - No live data access
- HuggingChat AI - No live data access
Notes:
- This list is also ordered essentially by which are the most helpful and useful to me ie. what I think are the smartest
What Makes AI Good
Geospatial Awareness
- Ex. "What racing circuits are near Sekia Hills Circuit, Japan, if any?"
- Only Grok, ChatGPT, DeepAI and Perplexity got this anywhere close to right
- Even Google Gemini with access to Google Maps somehow got this wrong
