4 Expensive, Overhyped AI Writing Tools to Avoid (That ChatGPT Easily Outperforms)

<p>AI is the new crypto.&nbsp;Every single startup bro who saw the writing on the wall has pivoted from pushing too-good-to-be-true financial products to pushing too-good-to-be-true AI products instead.</p> <p>But it&rsquo;s worse, actually. Because ChatGPT is free, for now at least. Yet almost every single one of those new AI writing tools that are &ldquo;better&rdquo; than ChatGPT? They sit&nbsp;<em>directly</em>&nbsp;<em>on top</em>&nbsp;of ChatGPT&rsquo;s API. They pay pennies to send ChatGPT queries, while you pay them somewhere between $9.99-$49.99 a month (only $8.99/month when billed annually!).</p> <p>I looked into four popular AI writing tools and found that they&rsquo;re all either no better, or actually worse than ChatGPT. Here&rsquo;s the list of overhyped, expensive AI writing tools I recommend avoiding.</p> <h1>1. Jenni.ai</h1> <p><a href="https://jenni.ai/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Jenni AI</a>, which I&rsquo;ve reviewed in full&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zuliewrites.com/blog/jenni-ai-review" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>, is an AI writing tool that promises to supercharge your content creation with high-quality content. The marketing material claims you can write emails, articles, essays, and more. You get 200 free AI-generated words per day. After that, it&rsquo;s $20/month when billed monthly.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*6CbThaUh1MK1xD65" style="height:341px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Source:&nbsp;<a href="https://jenni.ai/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">https://jenni.ai/</a>.</p> <h2>How it works</h2> <p>You provide Jenni AI with a short brief, like, &ldquo;I am writing an article about the very best cat food,&rdquo; and it drafts a short paragraph. From there, it works a bit like a turbo-charged Google autocomplete. You can start writing and then allow Jenni AI to suggest autocompletion options. You can accept the suggestions, or see more variations.</p> <h2>Why it&rsquo;s bad</h2> <p>Jenni AI produced poor-quality writing</p> <p><a href="https://zulie.medium.com/4-expensive-overhyped-ai-writing-tools-to-avoid-that-chatgpt-easily-outperforms-12b8be25aee5"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
