A - Introduction

As I mentioned in the previous article, AI (1) --- How Far we are Away from AI, I am not a AI agressive learner, and even not an active learner. What I learnt about AI is just from daily work accationally. Here is another event, that introduced me to use AI tool, Copilot (Microsoft), then Grok, and ChatGPT.

This article will describe the event I accotionally used and compapered Google Search AI and Copilot. I will introduce the AI Tools in the next article.

B - OpenAI ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in 2022. It is currently based on the GPT-4o large language model (LLM). ChatGPT can generate human-like conversational responses and enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language.

By January 2023, ChatGPT had become what was then the fastest-growing consumer software application in history, gaining over 100 million users in two months and contributing to the growth of OpenAI's current valuation of $86 billion. ChatGPT's release spurred the release of competing products, including Gemini, Claude, Llama, Ernie, Grok, and Copilot launched by Microsoft initially based on OpenAI's GPT-4.

C - X's Grok (chatbot)

Originally, Grok (/ˈɡrɒk/) is a neologism coined by American writer Robert A. Heinlein for his 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land.

Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI. Based on the large language model (LLM) of the same name, it was launched in 2023 as an initiative by Elon Musk. The chatbot is advertised as having a "sense of humor" and direct access to X (formerly Twitter).

Note,

Different from OpenAI, ChatGPT that is open for anybody without access limitation, Accessing to Grok AI, one needs to setup a X account, and login.

D - Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Microsoft. Based on the GPT-4 series of large language models, it was launched in 2023 as Microsoft's primary replacement for the discontinued Cortana.

The service was introduced in February 2023 under the name Bing Chat, as a built-in feature for Microsoft Bing and Microsoft Edge. Over the course of 2023, Microsoft began to unify the Copilot branding across its various chatbot products, cementing the "copilot" analogy. At its Build 2023 conference, Microsoft announced its plans to integrate Copilot into Windows 11, allowing users to access it directly through the taskbar. In January 2024, a dedicated Copilot key was announced for Windows keyboards.

Copilot utilizes the Microsoft Prometheus model, built upon OpenAI's GPT-4 foundational large language model, which in turn has been fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. Copilot's conversational interface style resembles that of ChatGPT. The chatbot is able to cite sources, create poems, generate songs, and use numerous languages and dialects.
