Isn’t Google just as good if not better than Grok?
Isn’t Google just as good if not better than Grok?
Although Google now has an AI mode, it is not actually the same thing. Grok and others can scan dozens or hundreds of websites to find exactly what you are looking for. Samsung has given me “Perplexity Pro” for a year. It allows you to search using one a bunch of models including Grok or letting it pick the best one for your topic. And it does not have the limitations of the free services.
Of course, I don’t use only the “chat bots”. I also use AI music, image, and video generation providers. Which have some very unique capabilities.
Sorry that I forgot to italicize your words.
I like to do comparison shopping by copying the URLs of two or even several different products into Grok or ChatGPT, etc. and ask which one is the best value and why. Then after I get a response back, I ask for more and more clarification. This is very useful for electronic or computer items as well. I even ask them to look over eBay ads and share their impressions and evaluate if it is a good idea to purchase the extended warranties with the product. Usually, it says that the warranty is not a good value, and exactly why it is not.
The biggest advantage over Google etc. is that they just provide links to look at. The chatbots can do that, but they can do some analysis as well. When the answers do not sound quite right or are flat out wrong, you can challenge the bot and often win the argument. You do not get to talk back to Google.
No matter what that I tell you here, you will likely not understand the features until you try them out for yourself. I have been able to set up lots of features on a home server by asking Grok, ChatGPT, etc... to write me a script that I can use in a terminal in Linux, the command line or PowerShell in Windows, and a lot of the time it works, if it doesn’t I go back and ask it what went wrong. Usually, it will get it right the second or third time through.
