OpenAI GPT-3 vs Cleverbot

During the last few days I've been working on incorporating a chat bot into the site. The reason behind this is I want to launch facebook ads, and there could be times where no real users are online. So if one person comes, I want them to stay a little longer. Just long enough until someone else connects.

At first I tried OpenAI's GPT-3 API since I've got the early access. But there were a few problems. First one, it's hella expensive. And second one, it likes to repeat itself. ALOT. Although the answers sometimes can be quite astonishing, I thought I will look for another solution.

Another site came to my mind - Cleverbot. Didn't know they had an API before googling about it. So decided to give it a try. 10 bucks for 10,000 API calls. Seems fair enough. Although it's a bit boring compared to OpenAI's solution, at least it doesn't get stuck in a repeat loop and is much cheaper.
