klieg vs asking ChatGPT

Asking a chatbot for a film is a fair thing to do, and for a one-off it works. The problems start on the second night. It does not know what you have already seen, so it repeats itself. It does not know what you hated, so it keeps suggesting the thing you turned off after twenty minutes. And it does not know what is on Netflix UK tonight, so a third of the picks are not watchable. klieg is the same idea with a memory, a negative signal, and a live UK availability check.

What ChatGPT does better

  • Open-ended conversation about anything, film history included.
  • No account, no import, no setup; you already have it open.
  • Free for occasional use.

Use ChatGPT when you want to talk about film. Use klieg when you want to watch one tonight and not be told about the same three you already saw.
