If we had Meta AI before ChatGPT, I might have been more impressed by Meta's virtual assistant. Or if we didn't already have Microsoft Copilot, which is also connected to the open internet to use real-time information in its responses. Or Perplexity, with its Reddit database. Even Meta's defining differentiator, its Imagine image generator, isn't mind-blowing compared to Dall-E 3 and Adobe Firefly. It's better than "hallucination station" Google Gemini, but it's certainly not better than CNET's current reigning champ, Anthropic's Claude -- and Claude isn't even connected to the open internet.
