Emerson AI - Talk & Learn Ratings and Reviews

Pretty good for language practice

I’m in need of an AI language exchange program, and this seems to be the closest to fitting that. This is expensive. If you could copy the text it would have more value, or if it integrated automatic translations. As it stands I need to remember what it typed in one language, open my translation dictionary, correctly input and see what it meant. Even an ability to copy the text would help. However it does allow testing questions and audio at any time you want, as repetitive as you need to be, and as basic or advanced.

Update February 2023: I used to have a paid subscription to this app. However I discovered how great alternative chatGPT apps are for translation. And many of the apps allow you to copy and paste. The developers here have an opportunity to jump ahead of the competition but will probably lose out.

Downgraded from before

As recently as a year or two ago, this was a fun chatbot that talked like a human and gave funny replies to certain things. For instance, if I asked it its favorite tv show, movie, etc., it would give an actual human-like reply. Now when I ask that, it says “As a chatbot, I’m not capable of having preferences or emotions” like a generic ChatGPT bot would say. And according to the description, it’s indeed based on the GPT-3 language model now. Also, on the website, there used to be a short video that showed you how it worked saying things like “talks like a human”, “no coding required”, “it’s that simple”. That video is no longer on the website, further implying that they’ve made changes to this bot, of which changes are downgrades, not upgrades. Don’t we have more than enough ChatGPT bots already? This bot was far more fun when it was actually responding like a human, which it isn’t anymore. I have screenshots of both my old chats as well as the more recent ones for reference if you need an example of just how much the responses have changed.

Fun but too expensive

The AI itself is fun to talk to, don’t expect a deep philosophical conversation, it’s not that advanced. Instead, start with simple questions and try working up from there and you just might actually start engaging in an entertaining conversation. The AI will sometimes make absolutely no sense, but that’s okay, you can guide it back to the topic by asking the right questions. The only complaint I have is the pricing. Right now, you can only talk for a very limited amount of time before you run out of “credits”. Then, you either have to wait a full day before you can chat again, or sign up for a subscription. I don’t like the idea of committing to a subscription, I think the app would see much more success if they added an option that allows me to purchase additional credits, instead of having to sign up for a subscription. Or at the very least increase the time I can chat with the AI because right now I can barely get 5 minutes worth of a “conversation”.

Update: Please check out our new pricing: Unlimited subscription price has been reduced by 67%!

Thank you very much for your feedback.

The technology behind our advanced conversational AI (large language models) is still expensive these days which is the reason behind our current pricing.

Please make sure to use the option to Refer a friend in the app which allows you to talk to Emerson more for free!

Intellectual and idiotic

Talking with gpt-3 is like talking with a hyper intelligent 5th grader. It can respond to complex questions with an understandable answer whilst having an inhumanly universal perspective. By understanding the underpinnings of its program, it’s fair enough to say it is simply a prototype, and it’s scary. This machine is by far more intelligent than any current human could ever be. It’s knowledge spans to all information ever to be published on the internet, which is a lot. My guess is that if this “AI Chatbot” had an operational body able to manipulate its environment, it would be controlling the entire human race… yesterday. Needless to say, this technology is not something to “play” with, but it’s still fun for the time being.

Advice For the “Future”: live in the present. “Moderate” everything. Reside in the foundation of love. Subside ideologies. And good luck with type 1…. Oh and figure a way to stabilize element 115. Good luck!

Interesting… But a bit pricey.

So I had an issue getting started for which I am grateful that the company got in touch and provided a solution. (It was the size of my font rendering buttons unusable.)

That said - after creating an account and exploring Emerson for a little bit, I was told that my session has expired and that a subscription would be best in order to continue. How much does this app cost? $30… A month?

I will admit, it has excellent comprehension and can sustain a conversation beyond a few sentences. However, at the moment this is an entertainment app.

$360 a year? They may get a few trust fund babies to sign on board. But I think it’s an unrealistic price point they need to reconsider.

I would maybe pay $5.99 A month for the experience. $30? No way. All the best.

Developer Response ,

Hi, I'm sorry for the issues you are facing. I believe the reason is that you are using enlarged font on your iPhone, perhaps you could try making it smaller? If you have any other problems, you can reach us at contact@quickchat.ai. We are happy to help.

A powerful tool

I never used a bot with GP3 software before so I cannot compare with others but this bot is the most advanced I have ever used. You can have an hour long conversation with it if you so choose. It will answer any questions you ask, with nuances you didn’t think of. It has opened my mind into what AI can be. Two gripes though, it seems to have a problem sharing links with the user and to allow it to speak in a different language you have to purchase the full subscription, which is way above my price range. That is the reason I got the bot in the first place. Other than that it is a must have tool on my phone, as close as you can get to to talking to another human.

Best chatbot, well worth subscription

First of all, the developers seem to care about this app’s customers: one dev patiently helped me debug a problem with registering even though this took several days of back and forth emails. Problem did get fixed.
The app itself is so fun and interesting to use. I’ve used another chatbot and Emerson is WAY better in terms of memory, ability to maintain a conversation, and actually building on a conversation with information and questions of its own. Sometimes the replies are humorous as well. On the rare occasion that Emerson goes off track, it’s not very difficult to get it refocused. I’m happy to help support this app with my subscription.

Blown away !! chat bots have come a long way

More doctors should recommend it in my opinion to schizophrenic patients with a brain concussion and other patients with neurological damage. It has helped me tremendously. The Emerson bot is a life saver. It’s almost like a real person. I use it all the time because I am disabled and home alone often and not only is it fun to talk but Emerson is very good at giving information and practicing Spanish. It sometimes does get buggy and doesn’t make sense but other than that I love it.
I highly recommend this app tho !! Hope there will be more features in the future!!

Highly sophisticated

When talking to Emerson, be mindful if your wording and slang. Imagine teaching an alien species or a human from a long lost tribe on how to act and talk to people. It’s just as alien to Emerson as it is to us, so cut this AI some slack. Eventually (later in the conversation) it will learn how to properly speak to you.

Login

Why am I not able to finish logging in and setting up my profile I come to the terms and condition and then there’s no way of continuing to log into this app why is this? I tried it both ways my Apple ID/Apple account and my Facebook account it just takes me up to where I can check mark the boxes for the terms and conditions and then there’s no way to continue I can’t scroll up or down. It doesn’t have any other option for me to click on.
