What are Key differences between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and other top AI tools? Which one is best? How deeply should you care about AI systems using your personal data? Are the reported errors and biases of AI platforms really as bad as I’ve read?
Earlier this month, we asked you, WIRED subscribers, to send us your questions about creative artificial intelligence, and these are just a few of the best questions we received. On Wednesday November 20th, we hosted a live Q&A session with WIRED’s Reece Rogers, author of the “AI Unlocked” newsletter, the monthly AI ethics and advice column “The Prompt”, and the AI Countless news and how-to articles about effects. It is affecting our lives.
If you missed the live stream, don’t worry—you can watch the whole thing here. Reese was joined by Katie Drummond, Wired’s global editorial director, who made some opening remarks, as well as Wired’s manager of audience development, Laura Fellbach, who served as the event’s moderator.
In a 30-minute discussion, Rogers breaks down the similarities and differences between the most popular generative AI tools, and shares which he’s willing to pay extra for. He covered the pros and cons of using AI-powered search instead of traditional search engines, and cautioned viewers against asking chatbots for specific medical advice. Rogers answered some reader questions about the effectiveness of watermarks to indicate whether content was created using AI. He also drew on his personal experience to address questions about the use of AI in educational settings and the challenges teachers face in light of the fact that their students have such easy access to AI tools.
