Which AI Model Should You Use? Here’s the Definitive Guide! ⚡️ was originally published on The Job Insiders.
“Which AI tool should I use???” 😭 Finally, I’ve got a DEFINITIVE answer to the #1 question people ask. Here it is…
Let’s start with what makes a great AI tool.
What Makes a Great AI Tool
The best AI tools combine EASE + POWER to allow…
-
Newbies to get started fast ⚡️
-
Pros to flex their muscles as they dive deeper 💪
In other words, you want THE 5 Fs 🤩
Introducing the 5 Fs of AI
🤑 FREE: If you need to shell out big bucks just to use the best model (cough… Gemini… cough), you’re wasting your money when ChatGPT and Perplexity are giving their best models to everyone.
⚡️ FAST: Decades of learning research show that the more immediate your feedback, the faster you learn. So why wait around for results to slowly appear when some models give you instant responses?
🎉 FRESH: If you’re searching for the current salary range for your job or the latest research in your field, is data from 2022 good enough? Heck no – you want your model to search the internet live and get you fresh data!
📎 FILES: If you’ve got a massive CSV of survey results or a PDF of your dissertation, you don’t want to be copying-and-pasting – you want to be able to upload with one click. And then have your model use Python to analyze the data, just like your own personal Data Scientist.
🕊️ FREEDOM: Your data should be *YOUR* data – not some giant tech company’s. So your model should allow you to control if and when your data is stored and, most importantly, incorporated back into the model.
Most AI Models Fall Short
With all of that said, most models fall short on one or more of these essential criteria today:
-
Gemini – Charges for their most expensive model, is fairly slow, doesn’t allow you to upload files, and doesn’t allow you to control your data
-
Copilot – Doesn’t allow you to upload files or to control your data
-
Claude – Doesn’t allow you to control your data
-
Perplexity – Allows you to control whether your data is baked into their model but still stores all your prompts
This AI Model Is the Best
Which means that, of the most popular models today, there’s only one that meets all criteria…
DRUMROLL PLEASE… 🥁
That’s right: ChatGPT, the granddaddy of this whole field, is still the AI I recommend most folks start with. 🙌
There’s Just One Catch…
But there’s ONE ESSENTIAL caveat: ChatGPT only meets these criteria because they made some huge changes a few weeks ago.
Which means that a few weeks from now, there could be others that surge ahead…
…So keep these criteria in mind as the AI World turns. And do me a huge favor and SHARE this post with your network so we can ALL continue to make smart choices in this brave new world! 🤩
