In my job, I spend a lot of time using AI chatbots. I’ve tried out the biggest and most-known, and the ones with small yet loyal followings. But, like most people, the one I keep coming back to is ChatGPT. It’s the biggest, the best-known and throughout most of its history, the best one too. In fact, despite a huge rise in competition, ChatGPT has repeatedly stood out.
But that lead is starting to slip, and has been for a little while now. The likes of xAI’s Grok and Anthropic’s Claude have come a long way to offer viable alternatives to ChatGPT.
