Hi there, this is Vik from Visible Magic. We recently tuned into an episode 5 of the Web Vision Podcast, and I've got to say, it was a fascinating dive into the current state of AI. In episode five, the hosts, Schlomo and Vik, discussed some intriguing developments in these fields.

Let’s focus on the big players in AI – BARD, ChatGPT, and X.ai. We brought up an interesting experiment where these models were asked to discuss complex topics like the universe, the role of humans and AI, and the prevailing economic system, capitalism. The responses from these AI models were quite revealing.

ChatGPT's answers were likened to those of a high school teacher – more detailed and nuanced. In contrast, BARD's responses felt more elementary, akin to what you'd expect from a junior high teacher. This comparison highlighted the varying levels of sophistication and depth in these AI models.

A key point is the role of AI in society and its evolutionary path. Thankfully, unlike some sci-fi scenarios, these AI models didn't express any desire to overthrow humanity! The conversation also touched on the importance of a robust knowledge base for training these models. Google, with its vast internet content, and ChatGPT, with its extensive scraping capabilities, were noted for their comprehensive databases.

From practical aspects of using these AI tools – the differences between free and pro versions matters, particularly in terms of access to information and depth of content. For instance, a free version might only scratch the surface, while a pro account could delve deeper into databases.

One intriguing point was the potential for "gatekeeping" in AI, where access to certain databases might be restricted based on the type of account you have. This raises questions about the democratization of information and the role of AI in mediating our access to knowledge.

It's clear that as these technologies evolve, so too will our understanding and interaction with them. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a business strategist, or just curious about the future of AI – welcome on board!
