For your convenience, here’s a transcription of this episode:

Terry Brock [00:00:00]:
As a content entrepreneur, you’re constantly faced with which tool to use. Do you use this particular large language model, LLM, or do you use that one, etcetera? There’s several decisions you have to make. Well, in this video, you’re gonna get some answers you can use. Because we’re gonna take a look at chatgpt. We’re gonna look at perplexity and grok. Yeah. You’re gonna look at all 3 of those. Pros and cons.

Terry Brock [00:00:22]:
We’re holding nothing back. I wanna give you exactly what you need because this is gonna be something really good that can help you in your business. And, hey, it’s gonna be fun too. So let’s do it. We’re gonna get into it and take a look at this, at what is available and what you need to know. Okay. As we get into it, let me tell you a bit about the methodology that I’m using and what we did to make this happen. I went into each of the modules that are there, each of the programs actually, chat gpt, perplexity, and grok, and I used the same prompt in all of them.

Terry Brock [00:00:52]:
That’s a good way to kinda make sure things stay the same. And I think that’s the way the scientists, the real scientists do it. I’m a one of these scientists. But they do it this way, so they make sure they hold all variables constant and test them. So let’s take a look at the prompt that I put in first. So here’s the prompt that I put into chat gpt. And I’m using version 4 0 on this. And in fact, I come over here, and I’m gonna let you see here.

Terry Brock [00:01:15]:
I’m doing a YouTube post on a comparison between perplexity, chat gpt, and grok. Give me a detailed report on the strengths and weaknesses of each, that’s good to know, as it compares to the others. Where does each one shine and where does the do the deficiencies in each one? And we go on to say, is there a particular platform that would be good for certain industries? For instance, one might be good in real estate and another might be better for a car dealership or another for manufacturing. Give me a detailed summary of these 3, comparing them side by side. So what we’re doing is we’re taking a look at what’s going on. And when you see the answers, I think you’re gonna like this. Let’s take a look at what it said in the first example. Well, the first one we’re gonna take a look at is chat g p t.

Terry Brock [00:02:02]:
So let’s take a look at what it was said by chat g p t about chat g p t. It said, okay. It’s got several different features. I wanna highlight a few of these specifically so you can see it. Versatility, I like that. It supports a wide range of applications from brainstorming and giving you capabilities in other areas, like scripting, to coding, to customer engagement. I think that’s one of the real keys in that, giving us the versatility. Particularly in the newer versions, you get the o, not 0, but o, 4 o, which is omni, meaning you get a chance to see the text.

Terry Brock [00:02:38]:
You also can use audio. You can use video. Matter of fact, I got a special video I wanna share with you, let you see what’s that. So hang on. It’s gonna be here in just a moment or so. A second one here, advanced voice. This is important. This is for content creators, the voice interaction capabilities add a layer of usability for podcasting or script writing.

Terry Brock [00:02:59]:
Video scripting. I think that’s true, but I say it even goes beyond that. I’m using it now to find out phrases and languages. I’m studying Spanish and have studied Russian as well. And the other day, I was just thinking, what do I wanna say if I wanted to say the phrase, Is that correct? Which means, hello, my friend, and it’s a very close one, somebody that you know. And it gave it to me exactly. It gave me that sound and it gave me also the exact letters in Russian. And I thought, oh, this is good because I’m gonna be seeing some Russian friends in a little while, and I wanna be able to say it correctly.

Terry Brock [00:03:32]:
This is good because it listens to it and you can hear it. It’s bringing in multimodal learning. What in the world does that mean, Derek? Well, multimodal means, according to psychologists and really, really smart people that talk to us about that, you’re getting not just from one area, just reading on text. When you get in text and you hear it and you’re seeing it in some other context, that’s really good. So chat gpt, I think does that very well. Some other features of chat gpt are very nice. They’ve got their plugins that you can use like their gpts. People can build really good.

Terry Brock [00:04:04]:
Those are hot right now. So that you can get automated tasks done over and over through chat gpt. By the way, perplexity does something like that, calling it spaces. So you’ve got that there. You’ve got these kind of tools that make it easier for you to do routine automated tasks. That’s the real power of AI because you’re able to get things done quickly in business that generate to the bottom line. I like that. Also, you can get custom instructions for it.

Terry Brock [00:04:31]:
It gives you responses that are adaptable for professional use when you’re using chat gpt. But there’s some disadvantages to it as well. Matter of fact, let’s take a look here, some of the weaknesses down here that it talks about. It’s a relating reliance on training data. So it might ensure that you’re getting that as well. And the cost. Well, okay. When you got a lot of people, even though it’s $20 a month for getting this regularly, you’re going to add up with a lot of people.

Terry Brock [00:04:58]:
And $200 a month under their new version if you need that. But that all comes down to what you need to do. I think, really, it’s a business decision. On all of these platforms, there are costs. There’s some free versions, and then there’s a cost. And too often, we can get so much. We go, oh, gee. How am I gonna do this? Well, here’s what you gotta do.

Terry Brock [00:05:17]:
Look at it from a business point of view. Is it worth the $20 a month that I’m gonna get this value from, say, ChatGPT or Perplexity, which also is $20, or $8 a month if you’re using Rock? So you can do that. Now they do have a free version on all of these platforms, so I would recommend start with the free version, play with it, see what it’s like, and get to know it and see what it’s there, what is there, and how you can use it. And here’s a very important area in Chatt GPT that they did not have as much before. They’re getting more of it now, citations. You need to find out where they got that information. Too often, the term is hallucinations. We’ll find that chat GPT will come up with answers and go, where in the world did I get that? That’s not true.

Terry Brock [00:06:00]:
And then it can even come back and say, oh, I’m sorry. I’ve heard it tell me that, literally, when I’m using the audio. I was wrong. I did this. Well, I’m glad it corrects itself. I think that’s good, And I think that, we can do that often. I’ve heard that from perplexity as well. So I think they’re both good.

Terry Brock [00:06:15]:
But remember, you wanna see the source. Check the source. My journalistic background says, wait a minute. Where’d you hear that? How do you know that’s true? Well, one guy told me that. Okay. Great. One guy does not make it necessarily true. Right? You got 2 people saying it.

Terry Brock [00:06:29]:
Okay. Well, she said this and he said that. Okay. That sounds reasonable. Still not enough. We have this thing called getting 3 non corroborating sources. People that are not checking with each other, they’re not in there. They’re in silos, 3 separate silos.

Terry Brock [00:06:45]:
You then have a much more reliable idea of what is correct. Doesn’t mean it’s true, because all 3 could be wrong. But you wanna get multiple sources. That’s the key. Actually, when they told us that long ago when I was in journalism, they told us, hey, you wanted 3. Now you can get 300 bazillion, I think that’s the exact number, by using AI. AI runs out and it grabs lots. So this way, you can get that abundance of support to say, wait a minute.

Terry Brock [00:07:12]:
It looks like we’ve got a 88.3% chance that this is correct. Okay. Welcome to planet Earth. Nothing is for sure or very few things are absolutely for sure, and so you wanna make sure you have a good range of them available. So the question is where is chat GPT best? Well, here’s what it says. It said it’s best for general content entrepreneurs, particularly in industries needing creative, customer focused, or multi channel marketing solutions like real estate, or education, digital marketing, and also businesses requiring integration and with external tools for efficiency. This is where it comes in to line and I think we’ve got a really good tool with chat GPT. Let’s take a look at what is said by Matt about chat GPT from some other sources.

Terry Brock [00:08:01]:
Alright. Let’s take a look at what perplexity said about chat GPT. We look at it and says, okay, it’s got versatility. That’s important. That versatility means it’s capable of generating diverse content forms from blog post to code, customization in tone and style. Matter of fact, one of the things that I’ve keep seeing over and over is when you’re working with coding, chat GPT is probably a little bit better than perplexity. Although, perplexity can do it and do a good job, they seem to have a little bit more of an edge with chat GPT. I’m not a coder, but those that are those who are, we really appreciate what you’re doing.

Terry Brock [00:08:34]:
You’re helping us a lot. You can see the chat gpt with the various ways and formats that it use can be very good. And also interesting, they mentioned the multimodal interaction, conversational engagement, and user friendly interface. I think those are really important. I’m gonna have to agree with that strongly. I particularly like the way that we can interface with audio and video. I can talk to it. That’s great, by the way, for learning a language.

Terry Brock [00:09:00]:
I can say, give me some phrases in Spanish. I’m studying Spanish right now. Give me phrases in Spanish, and then let me repeat those back. And when I do, it can say, okay, that was good, but you missed this word right here. Let’s try that one again. It said this way. Almost like we had a real human being there. I think chat gpt is doing well on that.

Terry Brock [00:09:19]:
By the way, you can use that and focus in on the o one. Gives you that a lot of capability. It’s kind of a reasoning. You’re talking with someone over and over. So it’s chat gpt, the focus on o one when you’re using it. That is really, really helpful. And to show you what we’re talking about there, it’s this option that you have right up here at the top. You’ll see that it shows you gpt4 o.

Terry Brock [00:09:42]:
When I click on that arrow that’s pointing down, it shows me I can use gpt4 o, and that’s an o, not a 0. O as in omni. And it’s great for most tasks. I use that probably more than the others. But here’s one that’s real good. This is good, o one is giving you advanced reasoning, uses advanced reasoning. What does that mean? Well, that means you’ve got someone that’s gonna talk it through with you and kinda sit back there and go, Oh, okay. Well, we can do that or we can do this.

Terry Brock [00:10:10]:
What do you think about this? You have a conversation with them and you can reason through, I’ve got a choice, either option a or option b. ChatGPT is really good for that because you can go and say, okay, I’m gonna take an option a. But there’s also option e. On the other hand, we’ve got this. It handles all those, yeah, but what about kind of questions that drive some people insane. Well, you’re not gonna drive the machines insane. It’s there and it’s gonna help. It also has an o one mini, so it’s gonna operate just a little bit faster that way, and it gives you capability.

Terry Brock [00:10:41]:
And some additional models that are here, like, for instance, here you have the GPT 4 o, mini, so it’s faster for everyday tasks. And GPT 4 is kind of a legacy. So if you have something that you wanna use for just common practice, that would be really good. So the bottom line is you’ve got some good options there, and it does pretty well. Let’s bounce over and see what Grok has to say about ChatGPT. And remember that Grok is just a little bit different. It’s part of X, formerly Twitter. Now they’ve got that built in there and I think they’re doing a really good job with it.

Terry Brock [00:11:13]:
But let’s take a look at what it says here. As we see, it shows us first of all, the versatility is there. And that versatility let me put this on the screen here so you can see it just right. That versatility, we’re hearing that again. It’s a strength. Highly adaptable for various tasks, including content creation, coding, conversational engagement. It’s excellent at generating human like text in multiple formats. That right there is good enough for most of us who are content entrepreneurs by its very nature.

Terry Brock [00:11:42]:
Also, it shows you some other capabilities that are that we saw in what Perplexity and chatJPT told us, customization and multimodal capabilities. So I think that’s pretty good. Then on the weakness side, accuracy issues. There we go again with what we call hallucinations. Sometimes it’s not quite accurate, and also a lack of direct sourcing. Unlike perplexity, it doesn’t inherently provide citations, which might necessitate additional verification for factual content. Well, I think that is something that has been true. It still is occasionally, but they have heard that.

Terry Brock [00:12:19]:
This industry moves fast. This data that I’m pulling it from, I know is a little bit out of date, but this is what it gave us. So we know, okay, they are starting to do it. Now, we are seeing some citations occasionally within that. So that’s gonna be, important. But I like this here where it comes down and it says, okay. This is where it’s going to be best. And let’s take a look at that.

Terry Brock [00:12:40]:
Let’s see what it says here. As it says, okay. Our best things we’re gonna use this for will be content entrepreneurs, which, that’s you and me working with that and making sure that it’s working, really well. And also, the industries like marketing and advertising, software development, and customer service in any skill. I think there’s a lot of capabilities there with that. So that’s chat GPT. I like the phones on the feature that it has. As a matter of fact, one of those is the capability of interacting.

Terry Brock [00:13:06]:
I got a video I just put together for you that you are gonna love. Stand by. You’re gonna drop your jaw when you see this if you haven’t seen this before. This is your first time watching that interaction. It’s a little over 2 minute video, you’re gonna enjoy this. Alright. Here we go. I am now going to record this.

Terry Brock [00:13:24]:
We’re creating a video recording, and I wanna demonstrate how I can use chat GPT. So I’m gonna tap over here and you’ll see could chat GPT is in the upper right corner on this. I’ll go in there. Now I’m using chat GPT and I’m gonna turn on my camera. So now tell me, Chat GPT, can you see and hear me? Can we have a conversation?

ChatGPT [00:13:47]:
Yes. I can see and hear you clearly. We can definitely have a conversation. What would you like to talk about?

Terry Brock [00:13:53]:
Well, first of all, tell me what color of shirt am I wearing today?

ChatGPT [00:13:58]:
You’re wearing a blue shirt today.

Terry Brock [00:14:01]:
And what kind of a shirt is it? How would you describe it?

ChatGPT [00:14:05]:
It looks like a casual button down shirt with a collar. It’s a nice comfortable style.

Terry Brock [00:14:12]:
Oh, it certainly is. Well, thank you. Well, now also here’s an object that I have. What is this object? How would you refer to that and what do you say are its functions?

ChatGPT [00:14:23]:
That looks like a stylus pen. It’s typically used for touchscreen devices allowing for precise input and navigation. It can also be used for writing or drawing digitally.

Terry Brock [00:14:32]:
Oh, that’s very helpful. Now, very important question. I’m using a microphone right now. This is an external microphone here that I have on, and there’s a receiver that’s built into my Samsung S24 Ultra that I’m using for this. How is that sound coming through?

ChatGPT [00:14:50]:
The sound is coming through clearly. Your microphone setup seems to be working well.

Terry Brock [00:14:56]:
Is there any way I could improve the quality of the audio coming through or is it at professional level quality right now?

ChatGPT [00:15:04]:
The audio quality is quite good. If you like to enhance it further, you could try reducing background noise, ensuring the microphone is positioned closer or using a pop filter. But overall, it already sounds quite professional.

Terry Brock [00:15:16]:
Alright. It’s down here. If I move it up a little bit higher, does that give a better sound?

ChatGPT [00:15:22]:
Yes. Positioning the microphone closer to your mouth can help improve sound clarity and volume, making your voice sound more distinct.

Terry Brock [00:15:30]:
I have a question. Sometimes when I move it up higher, I get over modulation and it comes through too much. How do I find out the optimal level where to put the microphone at that at any given moment?

ChatGPT [00:15:43]:
Finding the optimal microphone position involves a bit of testing. Speak at your normal volume and gradually move the mic until you find a position that captures your voice clearly without distortion. You can also check the audio levels and adjust accordingly. Aim for a balanced sound where your voice is clear but not too loud. Alright.

Terry Brock [00:16:00]:
Well, thank you very much for your help.

ChatGPT [00:16:04]:
You’re very welcome. If you need any more assistance, feel free to ask.

Terry Brock [00:16:08]:
So is that pretty incredible or what? The ability to be able to see yourself and the computer, chat GPT can see you and say, you’re wearing this kinda shirt or doing this or that. Think about the possibilities with that, when you can have it on you or you can turn it around so it faces outward. You can use that for some enormous creative applications. Start looking into this and let me know what you think about it. It’s pretty amazing. One of the things I really like about Perplexity is they say we are not a search engine. They’re kinda comparing themselves to Google because Google does a lot of search engines, it’s been known for that. They say what we are is we’re an answer engine to give you answers.

Terry Brock [00:16:45]:
Oh, that’s even better. Well, let’s take a look at what they are what said about that. The strengths here, yes, search based insights that are there, Plus, we see also they have perplexity spaces. This is a feature that allows users to aggregate data like PDFs, YouTube links, podcasts, all that put together into shareable collections. That’s powerful. This is invaluable for creating resources like ebooks, lead magnets, and training materials. Okay. That’s real good for those of us who are content entrepreneurs because you wanna make sure you have those lead magnets, you have the resources, the extra goodies that you can give people.

Terry Brock [00:17:20]:
Sometimes they’re audio, sometimes they’re video, sometimes it’s a combination. With perplexity, you have a way to do that. They have a thing called page, which is really nice. It lets you put these together, and then you can bring in other resources as well. That’s just one of the ways they do it. And it gives you that ability. And I think also there’s another feature here. They talk about custom query optimization, allows users to tailor how the queries are handled and which is useful for content creators needing specific results and very cost effective.

Terry Brock [00:17:49]:
So for $20 a month or $200 a year, you get the paid version. Their free version is fabulous also by itself. So, again, I would recommend what you wanna do is you wanna start with that. That’s gonna be the the real key. And over here, we look at the weaknesses that it says from chat gpt. Well, it’s got limited context understanding. Okay. I’ll I’ll give you that.

Terry Brock [00:18:09]:
And interface complexity, beginners may find the spaces feature a little bit, less than intuitive. Okay. That could be. It means it’s gonna have a little bit more capability. You’ll need to study it just a little bit longer. And industry adaptability, while versatile, it lacks the extensive plug ins or integrations found in other platforms like chat gpt. And I would have to agree with that. You’ve got a little bit more possibilities with chat gpt with their GPTs and the agents that we’re moving toward.

Terry Brock [00:18:38]:
We’re not there yet with all of this, but it’s gonna be there probably first on that. But, perplexity is great for getting the information you use. I use perplexity regularly when I’m writing my columns. I send out a column on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, a really good one. You probably wanna subscribe to that. And you can get some good information that way in a variety of areas of AI, using computer, marketing ideas, sales, all of that is available. So, you can get that. Matter of fact, you can check on in the description, you’ll see a way that you can tap into that and sign up for it at no charge to you.

Terry Brock [00:19:11]:
But I find the capabilities that they have in perplexity for that is enormous. I love particularly the way that you can do a focus in perplexity. You can focus on, say, writing. So what it does, it puts blinders on. It says, okay, we’re not gonna pay attention to the current temperature or the current news or something like that or even maybe a lot of historical information. We’re concentrating on writing, good spelling, good grammar, good style of writing, how it’s going to be. And as you put your own feeling, your own voice in there, you’ve got an assistant helping you. I would say not doing it for you.

Terry Brock [00:19:44]:
Don’t let it just do that copy and paste. Instead, as I like to say, you wanna copy, paste, and then customize. Customize it for them for what they’re doing. And it’s really good for a lot of other areas. One of the factors they have is academic. Like for instance, if you take a look here at this best for, well, they’ve got academic research that is available. And that academic research is saying, here it is, fact checking, showing you that it was the University of Ookie Woogie with professor Smith and professor Jones. Ookie Woogie is a big university.

Terry Brock [00:20:15]:
Okay. Smith and Jones, and they came up with this research that showed this. That’s really important. I think there’s a lot of capabilities with that. A lot of good things to be said about it. Okay. I’m talking to you my fellow content entrepreneurs. It says here, content entrepreneurs who are focused on creating structured, research heavy materials.

Terry Brock [00:20:33]:
This is good. And the research heavy can be, hey, you wanna say this is what people are saying. One of the real sneaky things that you can do, don’t tell anybody don’t tell any of the grown ups this, but you can use a feature called social media. Social where you can focus on that. And what that means is you’re gonna find out what people are saying on Reddit about hot topic. Say there’s a hot topic there out there and there’s people on this side of it and there’s people on that side. Real controversial. It’d be good for you to study that and go, oh, on this side, they say, but over on that side, they’re saying this and this and this.

Terry Brock [00:21:06]:
Now, you’re more objective, that’d be the word to use, and making sure that you’re saying, here is what can be used in a real powerful way. Not just, here’s my side contributing to the echo chamber. Instead, well, there is that point here and then there’s this point over here. And then you use your own brain and give something that’s unique. You stand out in a favorable way by doing that. And let’s take a look at what perplexity is saying are the strengths of perplexity. We take a look at that. It’s saying it’s got accuracy and research oriented.

Terry Brock [00:21:38]:
Boy, that’s for sure. Because what it’s doing is it’s saying, here’s what’s going on right now. One of the things you can do is find out is this really in tune with what’s happening right now? You can do this on perplexity and have been able to from the beginning. A good way to test it, wherever you are, say, tell me what is the time and the temperature in city where I am right now. Then, you’re gonna know pretty close, you’ll know the time for sure. And you can probably tell whether the temperature is within that range that they give you. With the search capability that they have in chat GPT now, it does that as well. So you see what’s happening is each LLM, large language model, is looking at the others.

Terry Brock [00:22:20]:
They’ve got it and they’re going, oh, they just did this. We need to put that in there. So the coders get busy, Those are wonderful coders, and they’re picking away at their computers. And they come up with a code so they can match that. So we get that real time information now, actually, with all three of these tools that we’re working with here. Chat GPT now through search, as well as Perplexity and grok. All of them have that, and that’s, important. Another feature that really is nice and makes it easy for learning is the conversational approach.

Terry Brock [00:22:48]:
Much like we have over in ChatGPT, it does this well here. And I think it’s good. However, I gotta tell you, on my personal opinion, one of the things I like to do a lot is get a summary of a book. Famous book that’s out there that’s really good, maybe a book that I read years ago and I want a refresher on it. Give me a summary of the book such and such by author so and so in 100 paragraphs or less, and cite those passages that are often quoted most often. Something like that. And I get a chance to listen to that. So while I’m actually, I’m gonna get real personal with you here while I’m flossing my teeth.

Terry Brock [00:23:23]:
I’ll do that. And I have fun with it. So I’m learning and refreshing my mind with really good things, or maybe a book I haven’t read yet, and I need to get a summary of it. So I get a good summary of it. And sometimes I’ll go back and say, hey, that summary was so good. I’m gonna go back and get the book itself and read it. So this is good. I think that chat gpt does that a little bit better right now as we’re recording it than perplexity.

Terry Brock [00:23:45]:
Chat gpt gives me more in-depth information. This is this is just my experience. I’m only speaking for me. Very good information. I like it. Perplexity was a little bit weak. It would only give me a little bit, and so I wanted to get a much richer experience. I take a while to floss my teeth.

Terry Brock [00:24:01]:
Okay? And I like it. I’m learning. I’m growing that way. So I put it together and it works really nice. Now, a disadvantage of using chat or excuse me, using perplexity would be the lack of creativity. That’s something that they’ve talked about which is, okay, I get it. That’s just where they are. Here we look at the lack of creativity that’s there.

Terry Brock [00:24:20]:
It means it’s not really focusing on that. That’s not what its main thing is. That’s okay. We get it. That’s where chat g p t or grok can do it even more. And we looked that it’s got subscription fees. That’s another thing, the cost where we are, and limited multi modal features. That I found to be true.

Terry Brock [00:24:38]:
I like the rich multi modal features that we have with GPT. Actually, overall, 3 of these so far. And it does a good job, so it kinda wins in that area. And, that can be very, very good. Well, here’s what Groch is saying about perplexity and what it thinks of it. It comes back and it says, well, the accuracy and the sourcing. Very good. It excels at providing accurate, well sourced answers via advanced models, and I would have to agree with it.

Terry Brock [00:25:05]:
That’s been my experience as well. Real time information. Yep. It’ll tell you the time, the date. But what that means more than just the weather report or the news, which is kinda nice to have, it’s making sure that the information you’re getting is up to date. That’s really important in many cases there. However, the weaknesses that it sees, creativity limitation, less effective for creative tasks. Well, we saw that also from perplexity themselves.

Terry Brock [00:25:29]:
And the user interface, some users might find the ad integration in search results less appealing, though they are clearly labeled. Well, they put in some ads in there. They’ve gotta pay the bills, so they get it. And I find that if they make the ads attuned to what I’m interested in, then that’s good. Because I might go, oh, I might wanna get one of those. I bought one of these before, and this is similar, so somebody’s giving me information. If I’m in the market for it, that’s real good. If it’s just something I go, oh, okay.

Terry Brock [00:25:55]:
I don’t need that right now, but let me keep that in mind and see where it’s there. So there’s a lot of good there. And it says here, it’s best for well, here we are. We’re seeing similar things here. Content entrepreneurs, particularly useful for those focusing on educational content or SEO through factual, well researched articles. Industries that are particularly good, real estate, manufacturing, academic, or research. I think all of that is really important and has some good features. One of the things I find very interesting about this is when we’re using 3 different sources, chat GPT, Perplexity and Grock and we start getting a repetition, the same answers, that’s confirmation.

Terry Brock [00:26:36]:
They’re probably onto something here. This is a good thing. That’s why it’s good to have the various different points of view. You don’t want just one, you want a few. Okay. Let’s start with chat gpt. What does chat gpt look at for the strengths of grok? Well, when we look at that, it shows us, okay, it’s integrated with x, formerly Twitter. Grok is optimized for communication and management on the x platform, making it ideal for social media managers.

Terry Brock [00:27:03]:
Real good. If you’re a social media manager, this can help you a lot. Concise insights, I like that. It’s real fast. It gets to the point. It says, here’s where we’re going. Privacy oriented. Very much oriented toward private.

Terry Brock [00:27:15]:
And that’s important in many areas because sometimes you don’t want the whole world knowing what’s going on. They excel on that over there. Now, you have privacy settings both in perplexity and in chat gpt. I think they make a mix and a little bit extra effort in using it with Grok, which I kinda like. And focus on AI first social media. So they’re looking at that kind of social media and what can be done. For the weaknesses, well, limited ecosystem. Yeah.

Terry Brock [00:27:40]:
Okay. I would have to agree with that. You’re seeing that it’s currently centered around x, lacking integrations on broader tools and platforms. We see also the creative limitations, not as versatile, that would be true. And it’s best for industries that thrive on social media presence. So it’s got some real nice capabilities there, but, also there’s some limits. It’s best for industries that thrive on social media, automotive dealerships, ecommerce, entertainment, and content entrepreneur entrepreneurs focusing on short term, social first, and strategies. I think that’s a real important thing, and I would have to agree.

Terry Brock [00:28:17]:
Okay. Let’s take a look at what perplexity is saying are the strengths that we see over in working with Gronk. And it says, first of all, one I have to agree with, humor and wit. It put you can put it into a fun mode or not. Now, sometimes you want it to be very serious. Other times, it’s nice to have a little bit of fun and funny put in there, or I should say, suggested funny. Some of it’s not always that funny, but some of it really is. So you it’s nice to have that variation and have the ability.

Terry Brock [00:28:44]:
Real time data access, oh, yeah. That that’s really good to have that. An advanced language processing. It understands and it responds to linguistic nuances including slang and idiomatic expressions. That’s important depending on what you’re doing. If you need to tie into an idiomatic expression that’s unique to this community, This is where grok is gonna help you, even more than the others, even more than perplexity, chat GPT. It’s got some nice features to that and it’s something that I have found to be very helpful and to be able to help me learn about some cultures that I just needed to know. For the weaknesses though, the cost, okay, it’s not free.

Terry Brock [00:29:23]:
Well, actually, notice this information here. It says it’s not free. I know that as of a few days ago, it really is. So here, we’re catching platting the perplexity, not quite up to speed on this. This is something that was true just recently. And so here, even as we’re doing research, we’re looking at it. That’s why, again, what you wanna remember is the benefit of using multiple sources. Don’t just go to one place.

Terry Brock [00:29:50]:
And I’m starting to get up here to my conclusion so you kinda know where I’m gonna be leaning on this. You wanna have more than one source. You wanna have those 3 non corroborating sources. My journalism folks told me that’s important. You wanna look at that. And it says here a potential bias. There’s a potential bias it could be trained on. It could lead to bias or offensive content.

Terry Brock [00:30:10]:
That’s a possibility. But we get that anywhere you go. All kinds of information is coming from different areas. So what do you do? I think the answer to that is like with politics. Do you say, if I only go to this site and get all of my information from what they say on this point of view, I think that’s a little distorted. What you want is you want this one and then that one and that one over and even that one over here too, way over there. Blend them together and then you use your own brain, your own voice to put out there what you want and how this is gonna work and the best way to reach the people and solve the problems there. This is gonna be best for content entrepreneurs.

Terry Brock [00:30:47]:
Well, here we go. It’s unique features like humor and real time data, show you creators aiming for engaging up to date content. Industries, well, car dealerships can benefit from it. Customer engagement and real time information retrieval for inventory updates. It’s also suitable for industries where humor and wit can enhance customer interactions. Well, let me think. It says entertainment or hospitality. I think that applies to just about everywhere you’re gonna go.

Terry Brock [00:31:16]:
And so it’s got something I wanna show you another thing that we can do here with grok as we look at grok itself. Now remember again, grok is part of x, formerly Twitter. So what it’s doing is it’s getting the information real time there. It’s one of the real advantages of it. You’re gonna find out, well, on x, people are giving their opinion. They’re saying, here’s a hot topic, controversial topic, and the people on this side are gonna say their point of view. People on that side are gonna say their point of view. You’re gonna get a chance to hear both.

Terry Brock [00:31:45]:
Be ready for some, shall we say, lively language that might not be safe for work, and some pictures that might not be safe for work. So, you wanna just be aware of that. They could exist. There’s cases when sometimes you wanna get a picture that others would say you can’t have, and it’s gonna be for a legitimate real reason. It’s more involved than just saying don’t use it or do use it. It’s more nuanced. And so I’m just saying, you wanna check with the proper authorities and people in your circumstance. What works in 1 might not work in the other.

Terry Brock [00:32:14]:
Well, here, when we look at the advantages of this notice, by the way, I am on x right now. You’ll see the options there. And so let’s take a look at what it says. And it brings in, once again, telling us about the humor and personality. I love it. What you can do is you can go in there and adjust that, and some of the ways that they’ve got it. Now, they’ve changed a little bit on this too, because right now, if you wanna change this see, it used to be we had 2, but now, I do not have the option for turning on the fun or turning it off. So that’s something that, has changed.

Terry Brock [00:32:44]:
We’re looking at it and because AI is changing so fast all the time, we’re gonna see what we can do. Oh, and by the way, again, remember, I used the same prompt in all 3 to get the various information, the various kinds of things that we need. So it’s showing me a lot of capabilities with this. I love the way they talk about this here. Directness and innovative. Innovation designed to tackle spicy questions. Okay. Use your imagination what that is that that offer AI might other AIs might shy away from offering straightforward, sometimes controversial insights.

Terry Brock [00:33:18]:
In other words, again, some of the language is not safe for work. Some of it’s gonna be a little bit out there, and you wanna just be aware that that exists. There’s a place for it, and there’s a place not to. In your situation, determine. And it says integration with X Twitter being tied to the X platform. It has real time access to social media insights which can be valuable invaluable for trend analysis. And the weaknesses, well, limited in scope. Less emphasis on broad research capabilities or detailed technical assistance compared to perplexity and chat g p t.

Terry Brock [00:33:51]:
I would have to agree on that. Doesn’t always have everything, but it’s got an advantage of really getting into social media, being able to share things that you just can’t with others. Best for content entrepreneurs talks about industries that are available, media and entertainment, social media management, startups, and disruptive tech for out of the box thinking or to encourage innovation. So there’s gonna be some capabilities here. I like the way it sums this up here. Notice it says, Perplexity is your go to for factual research backed content, ideal for industries that are requiring precision and up to date information. Chat GPT, it shines in versatility, making it the best for content that involves creativity, broad application across industries, and customer interaction. I would have to agree.

Terry Brock [00:34:43]:
I think that perplexity is particularly good in that area, but chat GPT is catching up fast, doing a lot as it is gone. And Grok, unique for its personality and directness, suitable for content that needs to stand out on social platforms or industries where innovation and unconventional thinking are valued. So what you wanna do is for a content entrepreneur, integrating all these could be beneficial using Perplexity for research, Chat GPT for content creation, and Grok for adding personality or for quick engaging social media post. Each platform’s strengths come from different but complementary needs in content creation and industry specific applications. But while we’re here on Grok, I wanna show you some of the things that it does that are pretty amazing. One of the areas where Groc really sparkles is its ability to give you dazzling graphics and pictures. It ties into Flux, f l u x, Flux which is a great tool, a platform for creating graphics. And sometimes can do even better.

Terry Brock [00:35:51]:
And it’s not perfect yet, but let me show you some things that I have done with this that work nicely. I ride a unicycle. So I want to create some pictures of guys on a unicycle then that would look similar to me. And look what I put in here. You’ll see this. It’s got it here. Not perfect yet, but it’s got some capabilities that you can see. Alright.

Terry Brock [00:36:08]:
This looks like a guy riding a unicycle. Looks kinda handy over there. And what I can do is I can take a look at some others. Here’s another one. Put it in there. And it was okay. I like the way it did it, but it also kinda went crazy on some things like right here. Let me come down, over here.

Terry Brock [00:36:23]:
You could see it’s got one here, and this is something that doesn’t exist. I said I want a unicycle. Well, unicycles, I can tell you, do not have handlebars, and it gave me one with the handlebars. I had to go over it several times with that. Here’s a picture that does not exist in the real world. I created this that you could not create on the other platforms. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump all sharing a beer, smiling, and talking. Well, obviously, that, lets you know it’s not real.

Terry Brock [00:36:55]:
But when you look at the faces there, it looks, pretty good. Matter of fact, if I look over here let me find one that’d be really good. There we are. If I take a look at this one right here, let me get this set for you so you can look at it. That almost looks like it’s a real picture. And that’s the key. You can now create this and use it where other platforms would even prevent you from doing that. They would say, we cannot do that.

Terry Brock [00:37:17]:
We will not show you this. But with Flux, with Grok, they go, of course. Go for it. You can see that, and it gives you a lot of capabilities. Another thing you’ll wanna do is create pictures that you can use royalty free, legally, and be able to use this in many different applications. One of the things that’s, been important to me, if you know me, you know, I’ve worked with judo, kotokan judo. And I worked my way through high school and undergrad school teaching that. So I wanted to have some pictures of it and take a look at what it gave me.

Terry Brock [00:37:48]:
I created this right here. This could almost look like a real picture from a real match in a dojo or at a contest, something like that. It was not. No. This is there. But it gives you an idea of what judo looks like, what can be done with it. And I created several pictures with this that you can see in there. Although, some of them were not quite accurate because what it did is it brought in 3 people and you don’t have 3 people in a match like that.

Terry Brock [00:38:14]:
At least, I can’t think of any. But, you can put that in there. And so there’s times when it’s not quite right. The benefit is you’ve got some things that work really well and some things that are not working so well. So as we take a look at it, what’s my conclusion? Which one should you go with? The answer is, I believe you need to get a combination. For me, I use all 3 of them. And, yes, I’m paying $20 each for chat gpt and for perplexity. And I’m paying $8 a month for rock.

Terry Brock [00:38:48]:
Because that gives me for that roughly $50, I got access to a host of tools. I find often one of them might not be working, or one might be giving me the wrong answers. You saw even in this video that we saw some were not quite right. But I can look at the others and that can be better. It’s a good tool. And besides, this is business. For me, it is worth $50 a month to get the benefits I’m getting, that I can work with my clients. I go out and show them how they can use this, how their people can start using this and turn that into sales, turn that into savings of money and get a lot more done and build their business that way.

Terry Brock [00:39:25]:
This is what you wanna do. Look at it from a business point of view of how you can make it work for the people that you wanna be with. And so, I’d love to hear from you. Matter of fact, more than ever, I wanna hear from you. Leave a comment. Let me know what you think. How are you using these? Are you using these tools? Are you open to taking a look at it now that you’ve seen it? Or you say, Nope. That one’s not for me.

Terry Brock [00:39:45]:
I’m not gonna do it because. And let us know your because. We wanna know why you’re saying what you’re saying, if it’s comfortable with you doing that. I’m Terry Brock, and it is a delight to be with you. I appreciate you taking your time, your energy to be here with me and to participate in this. We’ve got some more videos coming up for you that you’re gonna be able to see that are tightly tied into content creation. And how you can do that, how you can start using these tools, and really get a lot ahead of others who are not using them for whatever reason, what other excuse they make up. You can do it on your own.

Terry Brock [00:40:19]:
Thank you very much for joining me and I look forward to hearing from you.
