Some AI tools

• ChatGPT
  (pros)* Great at conversation, understands natural language well, and generates creative text formats.
  (cons)* Limited specific knowledge, and prone to factual errors or nonsensical outputs.
• Gemini (formerly Bard)
  (pros) Up-to-date information access, good at summarizing and explaining complex topics, and strong factual accuracy.
  (cons) Less engaging in conversation than ChatGPT, and not as tailored to specific workflows as Copilot
• Copilot (formerly Bing)
  (pros) Designed for programmers, helps with code completion and suggestions, and integrates with development environments.
  (cons) Not for general use, requires programming knowledge, and may generate buggy code.

*The reviews are based on the replies from using Gemini on March 4, 2024.
