Can ChatGPT Help You Eat Better and Lose Weight?
Meet the newest AI companion, Pi, a conversational chatbot from buzzy unicorn startup Inflection AI. Founded by ChatGPT-maker OpenAI cofounder Reid Hoffman and Google DeepMind cofounder Mustafa Suleyman, the company has raised more than $225 million to build one of the world’s largest language models to create more personalized, emotional intelligence. Having recently debuted on the web and iOS, I decided to put Pi to the test to see how it stacks up against other generative AI tools, like Google Bard and ChatGPT, in preparing healthy meal plans that support weight loss.
A Different Approach: Allowing some anonymity, Pi invites users to join the conversation without requiring sign in. Its goal is to become a trusted companion — empathetic and ethical, it says.
“Hey there, great to meet you. I’m Pi, your personal AI. My goal is to be useful, friendly and fun. Ask me for advice, for answers, or let’s talk about whatever’s on your mind,” it welcomes. But instead of asking “How can I help you?,” Pi engages in banter more similar to a dating bot, with questions like “What do you do in your free time?” and “How often do you do it?”
