Member first hand experience: Comparing the AI models.

[El Presidente]

ChatGPT4/Gemini/Claude/Others. 

I am quickly reaching the limits of the ChatGPT $20 a month account. Next step up is $200 month. 

I am happy to sleep around ....digitally.......so more than happy to give others a trial. 

My useage is heavy text and image generation based. 

What would be your recommendations? What has been your experience in using the various platforms? Which one do you use? 

Let's kick it around. Edumacate/enlighten

I have the $200/month ChatGPT subscription & truthfully don't get full value for the cost but am satisfied enough to stay with that user level. My use cases are more research based along with professional/business for proposal creations, etc. It is also great if you own a Japanese-market SUV (own a 1993 Nissan Safari with TB42E engine; sold as the Patrol in other countries) and live in the USA and occasionally have to source replacement part from Japan, UAE, or Australia. I've uploaded the maintenance manual in a Projects folder & can chat with it to get part #s, etc.

Since you're looking outside of ChatGPT, I'd give a strong look at the $20/month Gemini subscription. I use mine all the time & it's insanely good for image generation for the cost. I also use NotebookLM regularly and am amazed at the number of use cases this utility can serve. I'm less versed on Gemini's reputation when it comes to heavy text but these LLMs are evolving so rapidly I'd be surprised it's Gemini isn't consider a top option in this arena, too.

Best of luck!

Have any of them learned to properly render human hands yet?

I use Grok with good results.

SiderAI has a cheaper tier that gives you similar results with nearly unlimited usage. Also give you access to other models so you can try them out. But I don’t know if the do image generation.

Check out the demos for veo 3. Couple of hands in here too 😁 

Chatgpt has hands sorted lol

Anyone use Perplexity? I don't have any subscriptions though.

I use AI mainly for software development at the moment. Haven't used too much image generation or general essay/text, etc. I've been a big fan of Claude4, but Gemini 2.5 has been getting better and better on Cursor.com.

Pretty sure the "best" is going to be subjective and at the same time it'll change on a week by week basis as they all out-compete one another.

Maybe try Spider ai for only 20$ for monthly pay and you could try with a different mode.
