Is there an advantage of using GPT model compared to BERT if you have a specific domain?

ChatGPT really shines when the task/question is very broad and is general. Using it and then limiting it's knowledge to a specific domain (via prompts as far as I know) would be kind of a waste of GPT. Is there any advantage of choosing GPT instead?…

Does learning content from additional encyclopedias consume much less amount of storage?

Complex AI that learns lexical-semantic content and its meaning (such as collection of words, their structure and dependencies) such as Watson takes terabytes of disk space. Lets assume DeepQA-like AI consumed whole Wikipedia of size 10G which took…
