ChatGPT with GPT-4 is simply the most versatile tool available right now. While others might beat it in specific niches (like Claude for coding or Midjourney for images), nothing matches its general-purpose utility.
The Good
- Reasoning: It handles complex instructions better than almost anything else.
- Multimodal: It can see, hear, and speak. The voice mode is incredibly natural.
- Ecosystem: GPTs allow for customizability that other platforms lack.
The Bad
- Laziness: Sometimes it needs a push to give a complete answer.
- Censorship: It can be overly cautious with safety refusals.
Verdict
It's the daily driver. If you can only pay for one subscription, this is it.
