Copilot is the best way to use GPT-4 Turbo for free

As AI chatbots become more popular, companies are increasingly charging for their most powerful features. However, some companies still let users do a lot for free. So if you want to try GPT-4 Turbo, Microsoft's Copilot tool is the best way to do it.

What is GPT-4 Turbo?

If this is the first time you’ve heard of GPT-4 Turbo, it’s one of the more advanced AI models at the time of writing. It was designed by OpenAI, the company behind the hugely popular ChatGPT service.

When ChatGPT launched, it used the 3.5 model. OpenAI then released the GPT-4 model, which could handle queries better and sound more human. Eventually, the company made the model generation process faster, and thus created GPT-4 Turbo.

Right now, the best way to get GPT-4 Turbo for free is through Microsoft Copilot. It seems odd that you have to go through Microsoft instead of OpenAI, right? But the reason is that the two companies have a really close relationship. So it's not uncommon to see OpenAI features appearing in Microsoft's AI assistant.
