I have been using ChatGPT because it was the big name early on and I have never really looked into any alternatives. With the rapid growth of AI assisted services, I am curious to hear what others are using.

I've been using ChatGPT, specialized ones on Huggingface, and a bunch of local ones using ollama. A colleague who is into this deep says Claude is giving him best results.

Thing is, depends on the task. For coding, I've found all suck. ChatGPT gets you up to a point, then puts out completely wrong stuff. Gemini, Microsoft, and CodeWhisperer put out half-baked rubbish. If you don't already know the domain, it will be frustrating finding the bugs.

For images, I've tried DALL-E for placeholder graphics. Problem is, if you change a single prompt element to refine the output, it will generate completely different images with no way to go back. Same with Adobe generators. Folks have recommended Stability for related images. Will be trying that next.

Most LLMs are just barely acceptable. Good for casual messing around, but I wouldn't bet the business on any of them. Once the novelty wears off, and the CFOs tally up the costs, my prediction is a lot of these are going away.
