Which AIs do you use?

kelper · 2026-06-08T14:56:55-0400

Which AI's do you use regularly? If you use none, please ignore this poll/thread. I can only list ten choices and 'other' or 'none' are not going to appear.

Choices are listed in descending order of approximate monthly CONSUMER users, (MAU)

ChatGPT (OpenAI) – ~380–400M MAU
Gemini (Google) – ~195–400M MAU (depends on inclusion of Google surfaces)
Meta AI – ~1B MAU (embedded in WhatsApp/Instagram/Messenger)
Microsoft Copilot – ~200–400M MAU (Windows + Office + Bing surfaces)
Claude (Anthropic) – ~30–105M MAU depending on measurement scope
DeepSeek – ~90–100M MAU
Perplexity – ~20–80M MAU
Grok (xAI) – ~20–35M MAU
Character.AI – tens of millions (varies, but strong niche engagement)
Mistral / Le Chat – smaller but growing (tens of millions or less)

Not a big AI person but when I want a quick answer I'll hit the Co-pilot button on the PC or the google search bar on my Android phone. That's about the extent of it for me.

I use Grok for general queries, Composer 2.5 for coding, and Gemini (Antigravity) for coding when I’m running low on Composer (Cursor) credits, and Copilot for spelling (Edge right-click rewrite with Copilot).

I've used Copilot for almost 3 years. Copilot knows the specs on my two computers, how I use them, and what I'm working on. For me Copilot has become an invaluable resource.

I started using AIs a while ago, but I realized I could save money by asking my 12-year-old. She knows everything.

I use ChatGPT to create custom GPTs and Gemini to create Gems for the master's courses I teach. Our university purchased Copilot for us to use, but I've not gotten around to creating custom Copilot bots for my courses. I would rather use Copilot as it protects student data better for us.

I use gemini for coding quite a bit, chat gpt at work for scripts and other things.

Just got access to claude through work recently, have not tried it out yet

Occasionally, I use Google AI to give me an idea on where to look for real answers.

None, although SWMBO has just discovered the convenience of AI for composition and design. In her case, it's Claude

However, this subject has reminded me of a post in another forum, a post in response to a contributor who demonstrated misguided blind, slavish, utter and total belief in anything and everything AI (chatbot), based on their response to an original question and some other contributors responses.

Another contributor's response to this belief was telling ....
"Your blatant misuse of chatbots is appalling. You are spreading unchecked information.

Chatbots are statistical models, NOT oracles of truth. They process data and spit out guesses based on language patterns. They lack depth, context, or understanding. Yet, here you are, wielding this tool irresponsibly, copying, pasting, and then audaciously criticizing those who choose not to rely on such a flawed method.

This behavior is the epitome of laziness and intellectual dishonesty. It degrades the quality of discourse and misleads those who might not know better. Every piece of information shared without proper verification is a disservice to the truth and all of us trying to maintain integrity.

Your attitude towards those who question or do not use chatbots is dismissive and arrogant. Respect and acknowledge that your way is fraught with errors"

I wonder how many other times this response may be appropriate ...

ChatGPT and Gemini mostly. Although I am going to start check out Grok as for some time now whenever I'm trying to get to ChatGPT I get the VERY irritating "ChatGPT is busy. Please try again later." Huh? Read the traffic charts kids and hyperscale!!

z3r010 · 2026-06-09T01:28:29-0400

This thread is about the AIs you use, not the ones you dont or how much you dislike them. If you don’t use AI, please move along.

ChatGPT also remembers what I ask it to and past chats. I call it ChatGP when discussing minor medical problems. It gave me some good info, with references, on scintillating scotomas, for example.
I tend to avoid Co-Pilot because it is being pushed on me.

trevo · 2026-06-09T09:03:19-0400

I use Brave Leo AI, described as "smart AI assistant built right in your browser. Ask questions, get answers, with unparalleled privacy."

I generally just use it from the Brave search page.

kelper · 2026-06-09T09:36:29-0400

Brave primarily uses a mix of:
Mistral (Mixtral)
Meta Llama
Anthropic Claude
Qwen (Alibaba)

I use ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. My use cases are primarily around drafting documents (policy, IR playbooks, process etc) and getting understanding of available modules for coding projects for very specific tasks. I always proof reading anything generated since final versions need to be correct and I still write most of my code. I also never use real data since many LLMs can be training on input.
