What they say vs what they do

15/25 points

ChatGPT is an AI assistant, not a source that independently verifies every answer. Its official documentation distinguishes personal data controls from business-workspace commitments. A fluent response or a citation should still be checked against the underlying material for consequential decisions.

What they know—and what they do with it

15/25 points

Prompts, uploads and connected context can contain personal information. Official guidance says chat content may be used for model improvement where permitted by your ChatGPT data controls. Workspace, saved-memory, file and conversation handling can differ; a business commitment must not be assumed to apply to a personal account.

Who does it better

Comparison priority: useful output, context access and the actions you want authorised. A good conversation and a dependable continuing workflow require different features.
