>use it to make jobs more efficient

I left IT for the time being, but I ask copilot.microsoft.com a question once in a while to see if we've got to AGI yet.

Today's question (I admit not so creative) was what's the market cap of TSLA.

Its answer was "Tesla Inc. (TSLA) currently has a market capitalization of approximately $429.52 billion USD. This figure is based on the latest trading price of $429.52 per share"

It allegedly used a web search to find this out, and it included a screenshot showing the market cap as $1.4B.

On the other hand, chatgpt.com prudently tells me to go look it up myself, because it doesn't have live data.

I guess OpenAI is winning?

I never use LLMs to get current data. Sometimes for fun I'll ask it for product recommendations and it'll routinely make up products that don't exist and confidently even generate links for such products.

But for code generation, Claude is awesome. ChatGPT is OK too but I've had much better results with Claude. Weird things happen if a new version it a library came out with breaking changes though. You'll have to write rules or ensure that the new apis are in context.

But that's kinda my point. It's not good enough to replace a human, but it is good enough to make a human more efficient.
