Read something the other day saying that all of the models were trained on the same public domain data (wikipedia, reddit, stack overflow) and will become commoditized in the near future. What will differentiate an AI model in the future is private data - eg: Westlaw or LexisNexis for legal. Years of historical payment data for a bank/financial institution.

I think this is right. But the thing to remember is that folks like westlaw or lexus nexus are not creating their own gemini or openai. They're using a general model like Gemini and openai or similar to access their private data.

That is really the way copilot works for the most part although there are much more sophisticated and better tools out there. But accessing private data is probably going to give companies an advantage and the general model that provides the best results at the lowest price will win as the backend tool of choice.

I don't think they said that.

I think they are getting a bad rap here. Obviously I"m on record for liking GPT, but it's also true that the alternative to Anthropic and OpenAI might be Grok and that would be a million times worse.

According to Altman (the CEO of OpenAI), they revised the deal with the DOW to include protections against surveillance and he would rather go to jail than do something unconstitutional.
 
I'm starting to shift from Chatgpt to Claude.

Has anyone else made the jump over the Claude? So far, I like that its not a brown-noser. Just the facts, jack.

Claude is so far superior to Chatgpt its not even close. I'd consider it the top one right now. Gemini is way better than chatgpt as well, especially for image gen.

Gemini was better for image generation but as of about a week ago, Chatgpt's newest model is superior for accuracy although it takes way longer to generate an image.

I agree with you that Claude is so much better than chatGPT on chat, but gemini does some good things too. Depends on the use case.
 
I’m five years from retirement, so I am doing just enough with AI to stay employed…my employer expects a certain amount of usage…and they track it.

I actually hate it…I like to write…I like to do my own research and my own work…and I don’t care if it saves me time. My employer obviously cares, so I’m wearing the bare minimum pieces of flair.

Lol, I’m reading this thread while taking a break from setting up a bunch of useless AI workflows mandated from our leadership teams.

I work for a software company and in the last year or so they’ve slowly been incorporating AI into the products that we make. Without getting too into the weeds, our tools are for developers and the AI actually can be useful in that context. Easier to build and maintain for users, etc. I’ve been fine embracing it in that way.

The problem is that we’re now expected to use AI tools to assist with our day to day tasks and 95% of it is unbelievably useless. I’ve been writing work emails and staying on top of admin tasks manually for almost 2 decades. Trying to set up a bunch of Claude workflows to do those sorts of things is, ironically, way more trouble than it’s worth, at least imo. I have some colleagues that swear by it though.

I’ll begrudgingly set everything up and run the flows enough to make it look like I’m actually using it in my day to day since our usage is tracked. My company has been very good over the years about not micromanaging and giving people autonomy, but if we start getting actual pressure about AI usage then I think that would be a line in the sand for me to start looking at moving on.
 
Still using ChatGPT but for limited purposes. I don't trust it for legal research, for example. But for a medical chronology or drafting correspondence, it works fine.

I’m an engineer and they want us to use it to summarize technical specs/reports…but then also double check to make sure the analysis is correct. Someone will need to explain to me how this is an efficient use of my time.

My company is dragging me kicking and screaming (ok…grumbling and stalling) into this world. Thankfully, I’m within ~5 years of retirement…

I’m an engineer, and although I am sure I don’t write with the same proficiency as most here, I am really good for an engineer (you’ll have to trust me on this). This has been a huge advantage over a 32-year career, especially when it comes to communicating with non-engineers.

Now, at great disadvantage to us all, I will have to rely on my technical expertise…yeesh. Apologies in advance.

Ha. I am also an engineer 32 years into a career. I think I recall that your tiger stripes are orange and purple. If so, we were probably there at the same time.

Unfortunately, my department (including me) does a crap job of documenting our work, so I hope to figure out a good way to use it to for that.

Yes…BSME 1993! I may have been a year or two ahead of you?
