Me: What do you know about Wealthy Affiliate?

Me: Do you know that there are two levels of paid membership at Wealthy Affiliate? Premium at $49/month and Premium Plus at $99/month? When I asked you to tell me about Wealthy Affiliate earlier you didn't mention the Premium Plus option. This has been available for a couple of years and you said that the latest information you have for Wealthy Affiliate is upto 2023.
Bard: Yes, I am aware that there are two levels of paid membership at Wealthy Affiliate: Premium and Premium Plus. The Premium membership costs $49 per month, and the Premium Plus membership costs $99 per month.
The Premium Plus membership includes all of the features of the Premium membership, plus a few additional features, such as:

The Premium Plus membership is a good option for members who are serious about making money through affiliate marketing. The additional features can help members get more out of the Wealthy Affiliate platform and achieve their goals faster.

My Assessment
Overall I think Google Bard did a credible job in asnwering my questions. When Google Bard got it wrong it apologized ha! It then continued to get other things wrong such as stating there is a special forum for Premium Plus members. I didn't think so. Unless it is referring to the Premium Plus classes as such.
It seems bent on referencing others who considered it too expensive. Yet, when I asked to provide cheaper options it was quite vague and identified sources that would take more work verifying the accuracy and quality of the training.
Google Bard totally missed the mark that Wealthy Affiliate does not only provide training, but also offers other benefits like ultra fast website hosting, and covenient tools like the Affiliate Program Search tool as well as the AI based Niche Research tool.
Its advice on how to select an affiliate marketing training course hit all the hot buttons that are available within Wealthy Affiliate.
In general, Google Bard was positive about Wealthy Affiliate. It also stated that it is still learing and will improve.
What do you think?
Cheers.
Edwin

Hello Edwin
This was a very interesting blog post. Thank you so much for sharing this information. Google Bard told you positive things about Wealthy Affiliate but was not accurate in many things it said.
It failed to mention premium plus and a few other things as you pointed out and it didn't give very good answers about other affiliate marketing training options.
It seems to me that Google Bard is not up to date on the information it supplies and despite it's claims it seems to be providing you some old information from a few years back before Wealthy Affiliate had premium plus.
I recently saw a blog post on WA from another member who asked ChatGPT about Wealthy Affiliate and the answers were a lot better and were up to date as well. I don't like the sound of Google Bard. I think I will stick to using ChatGPT if I need to use AI for something.
I found this blog post very interesting and informative. It has also inspired to do my own testing with AI which I will be doing one day soon. Thank you so much again for sharing this information. All the best to your success.
Regards
Timothy
Hi Timothy,
Like you, I prefer to use ChatGPT for the same reasons you provided. The only time I will use Bard is when I have questions relating to Google products.
Thanks for commenting.
Edwin
Hello Edwin
You're welcome and thank you for your reply. I agree and I will only be using Google Bard for the same reason you provided. Thank you again for your reply. All the best to your success.

Timothy
Was it this one? I had a chat with ChatGPT about Wealthy Affiliate. I also prefer Bing Chat and ChatGPT to Bard.
Hello Andy
The one I read the other day was by Roy Bretton but I think it might have been your blog post that you linked to the other day to. I like ChatGPT and and Bing Chat better to. Thank you for sharing and for your comment. All the best to your success.

Timothy
Good morning Edwin,
Thank you for your blog post. I hope that you are doing well.
Despite my reservations regarding AI, I have to admit I find it amazing that it gave pretty good answers to your questions. Although, I still don't trust everything A tells me!
Obviously, most of us know a reasonable amount about Wealthy Affiliate, so we don't need to research the answer. Had it been a question that we genuinely didn't know, we would then have to go and check the answer out and carry out our normal research.
It's interesting, as recently, I put a blog post up about ChatGBT's answer to summing up Wealthy Affiliate! I was surprised at what a great answer and in very few words that ChatGBT came up with!
It's interesting to see Catherine's answer below, I guess this is why we still have to do our research!
It's a very interesting subject, Edwin!
Have a great day.
Roy
Hello Roy,
I did this for a lark because it would be easy to see how accurate its responses were. It was a mixed bag. Bard has ways to go to catch up with ChatGPT.
Thanks for commenting.
Edwin
Hello Edwin,
That's interesting, as I am very much a beginner with AI, and I haven't checked out Bard as yet! I wonder if Bard will catch up.
Have a great day.
Roy
I think that if you check that content, you'll discover that it was scraped from the reviews written by other WA members. It's not original content, and if you used it as is, you wouldn't "own" it because it originated from someone else.
Google doesn't have an opinion on WA. It's merely regurgitating what it scrapped from other sites.
Hi Jeannine,
Thanks for your comment. I agree with your conclusion as it’s very similar to my assessment at the end of my post.
AI has to get its data from somewhere. Since it uses a lot from WA members it makes sense that these will reflect their views.
There are also several errors. So we cannot use the results of AI before doing our own research.
I’m using AI for research and it saves time for a lot of activities other than content. I like it.
Cheers.
Edwin
I definitely agree with your assessments, Edwin! There were a lot of things it left out, so I am glad you prompted it! Also saying it was too expensive made me groan! It is a bout $1 more or less a day, and that is for everything that WA offers here!
Jeff
Hey Jeff, thanks for responding. I’m honored you read my whole article to see where I was going with this.
Cheers.
Edwin

Good morning Edwin,
I'm not surprised it had some things wrong, but based on my understanding of this supposed AI it is constantly learning. Being shaped by those using it. I imagine in the coming months it will get more correct.
I was looking forward to its answer on cheaper legitimate options and disappointed it gave such a vague response. Reminded me how I feel when an editorial passing itself off as legitimate news starts its hit piece off with "anonymous sources say" and then write some of the most outlandish angles.
Thanks for sharing, was interesting to see what it thought. Would be curious to see what it has to say in a month or two.
Regards,
Jason
Hi Jason,
Me too. These AI platforms are constantly learning and getting smarter. They have come a long way but further to go. Since ChatGPT was first off the mark, it is further ahead of Google Bard.
Thanks for your insights.
