AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

What does the subscription get you? I've been mostly using Gemini and I find it super useful but I don't know what I would want to pay for.

I have "pro" versions of Claude and ChatGPT, and get Grok with my Twitter Premium and Copilot with my M365:

What it gets you is expanded functionality, and things that normally cost money/hits limits; those limits aren't there. I use the pay versions extensively and haven't thought about it a moment.

-Claude CoWork is great for end-to-end tasks; it figures out multi-step problems pretty well. I got this mostly because I am a terrible coder and to prep for Anthropic models and CoWork being added to Copilot, which is what we use at work. Claude also makes baller PowerPoint slides, I am told. It typically doesn't do well/as well as others on the other tasks I use it for.
-ChatGPT makes AMAZING images, and Work is amazing, and GPT is the model that Copilot uses, and Copilot does some amazing things for me at work. I've gotten great results from Work, and it's interesting the way it differs in its approach and results from Claude.
-Copilot is interesting because I LOVE it in the office, and the Organizational Version with Agent Builder is amazing, and I use it every day. Agents have effectively replaced several Power BI apps in my day-to-day, and I expect to orchestrate several agents through CoWork to streamline big parts of our manual processes, i.e. I need x team on a call, input the team, looks up who's in the sun, finds out Teams status, sends a message, they click a link and get pulled into an ongoing Teams call, etc.
Individual Copilot can't have Agents, which is a bummer but in my research is the BEST when I do cross-AI research; in particular it seems to game-related things, somehow.


I don't use Grok enough to really comment, although I have made a few images with it, and it was meh OK. This was last year some time, though.
