Which AI should I use?

Which AI should I use? The differences are smaller than the marketing. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot all predict the next word from training text. Pick by what you already have, and by whether you can check the answer.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and the rest are built on the same underlying idea — predicting likely next words from patterns in training data — so the differences you’ll actually notice day to day are interface, pricing, and which one a company already built into tools you use, not some hidden gap in intelligence.

Same question, asked of each one. The differences are smaller than the marketing.
