Lunchtime play ... Claude.io was the best I used... Deepseek didn't work....
AI Engine Comparison Test:
I recently asked a few AI engines a complex tax query:
Perplexity Pro (paid): While I love the app, the answer was not great 6/10
ChatGPT (free): Excellent, factually correct, not too clear in one area 8/10
DeepSeek: I registered and tried the search, but got the result "The server is busy. Please try again later." I tried a few times, it is working for common queries, but I assume as this logic wouldn't be cached, it can't even have an attempt with the free version 2/10.
Bing/M365 Copilot: Got a fairly similar result to ChatGPT missing an option and not as well laid out 7/10
Claud.io: Clean result that is factually correct and offered possible items that would affect the calculation 10/10
Perplexity is my default AI power Search Engine:
Perplexity and the others are great for teaching me this (I use a homemade flip learning type approach), and here are my "follow-on" questions. However, to truly understand something, I still use books (mixed with perplexity), but nothing beats a human-written or recorded topic to give the best understanding.
