Which generative AI tool have you used the most and how?

Copilot is better in terms of integration. I don't use it but few at my workplace were initially sceptical of Github Copilot but found it quite beneficial for mundane stuff. However, it is relatively costly compared to visible productivity improvements, so not sure how many companies will commit to it unless someone displays massive productivity improvements, which most humans are reluctant to.
I just feel that the Microsoft training set and knowledge graph is better in terms of generating quite relevant responses using RAG. Claude just seemed horrible and off the mark for any content requiring RAG. ChatGPT has pivoted to speed more than accuracy which is interesting, but it seems nearly all models are running out of original free/cheap content to be trained on while the increasing guardrails are making them dumber.
i was doing some research recently on a obscure topic and here are the observations (subjective)
- Perplexity AI was decent for some use cases but gave bad/wrong sources for some of the info. It confused 2 companies with a similar name and gave me outright wrong info (imo, it should be smart enough to see the full name/industry etc)
- MS Copilot was outright shit in all the tasks, its free so i used it when i hit the limit on gpt. It allows unlimited image uploads which was somewhat useful for easier tasks
- Gemini - decent, but nothing special. For some reason didn't use it that much
- Chatgpt - king of everything that i threw at it. seriously considered premium because i kept hitting the limit. But the thing is i found it better than others even with the older model.
- Claude - didn't find myself using this too much.
PS: A big use case for me included writing crisp bulletpoints btw

Of late I have started liking the power of ChatGPT to better format any type of content that I generate. Like here on TE after I am done typing my reply and if it is long, I ask chatgpt to "reformat it for better readability". Have to be careful though as it also changes the language a lot.

May be due to the fact that now 4.o is available in free tier for certain number of interactions!
I have taken the premium subscription now for a month. It helps me to answer many server/code related queries which would take me too long to research and find. Usually I end up opening tens of pages and reading through to get one insight, I can now do that and narrow down much faster.
I’ve used paid ChatGPT regularly for a bunch of things - as a sounding board for work stuff/issues, complex SQL queries in the past, interview prep by creating a Q&A session, trip planning, help with astrophotography, evaluating health insurance, creating a workout plan, and much more. I can't imagine not using it regularly, but I still wish it was cheaper. I tried using perplexity as well but I just didn’t get why I would use it over ChatGPT, especially after it added web search and cites sources. I used it 2-3 times and haven’t used it since then.

Anyone using https://www.glbgpt.com/
Any feedback ?
The website look unpolished however they are giving access to many tools at very less cost.

On a post at r/chatgpt about the $200/month subscription:
My success rate with chatgpt has dropped drastically over the last week, it was actually faster coding without it because it got so many things wrong and kept dropping large chunks of code arbitrarily and forgetting context.
I actually thought I outgrew it and became smarter by tackling more complex concepts.
But no, they just made it dumber and slower.
edit: the $20/month plan includes 50 queries per week for the new o1 model and 50 per day for o1-mini model.

12 Days of OpenAI LIVE: Huge ChatGPT upgrade, Sora and every new AI announcement as it happens
On the first day, OpenAI gave to us...
OpenAI confirms new $200 monthly subscription, ChatGPT Pro, which includes its o1 reasoning model | TechCrunch
OpenAI has launched a new subscription plan for ChatGPT, its AI-powered chatbot platform — and it's very expensive.
techcrunch.com
The more safety guardrails have been put in, the dumber the AI agents have become with each layer filtering out a bit more of the original content.
ChatGPT as a search engine isn't working out well.
Stop using generative AI as a search engine
Sometimes ChatGPT spits out something original — and wrong, like fake presidential pardons.

And now they are moving goalposts because they have mostly hit a wall, beyond the initial wow factor. I feel it will become worse as more original data sources are locked away and the AI keeps training itself on its own made-up content.
Sam Altman lowers the bar for AGI
OpenAI used to say that artificial general intelligence would change everything. Not anymore.

Yeah, in hindsight the initial impact just can't replicated, that kind of progress just isn't possible.
Still, it's a little sad they had to dumb down an existing technological landmark to make the new thing appear better.
Usually the people who make those kind of decisions aren't the most honorable.

Just got to know about https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat
more advanced than gemini and can choose different models.
I wanted to upload and read through multiple images (slides) chatgpt limit was up and gemini only allowed one image per prompt. AI studio allowed multiple images and i think it allows for videos as well. Did the job well.

Thats similar to Azure Open AI and Azure AI Studio. You can create your own chatbots using various models and host them as an application for your users. You can ground the models to use your own data. Several organizations are using this to enable their own "chatgpt" to answer queries from their pile of documents.
Perplexity is a very versatile tool. Quite powerful if you want to search, process and synthesize information from the internet. And you can choose your own models depending on what you are working on. It's also easy to find promos for it as well, so you can get it for quite cheap
