The writer reflects on their initial reluctance to engage with AI chatbots due to concerns about job security and the impact of AI on creative work. Testing various AI services, including DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen, raises critical questions about the quality and effectiveness of these technologies. The piece underscores the competitive race among tech giants in AI development, emphasizing that success may hinge less on revolutionary breakthroughs and more on providing competent, reliable products amidst growing skepticism.
I had no idea of the answer, because I'd never used ANY AI chatbot prior to this assignment. Given that I'm a writer by trade... I was scared of discovering that AI was talented enough to do my job.
The race for dominance in the AI marketplace won't be about which tech giant finally breaks through and delivers a truly sentient computing product... but which of them will offer the least shoddy version of the current model.
