The models aren’t comparable. ChatGPT is better in some ways, particularly in giving “reasonable” responses to naive prompts, and producing acceptable length on requested writing like essays. It’s also much less agreeable — ChatGPT will refuse many inappropriate requests, but the API models never do. The API models will gladly produce offensive or controversial writing if requested, and don’t need to be “jailbroken” the way ChatGPT does.
