A Message from Our CEO – April 2026
“Humans are now hackable animals.”
— Yuval Noah Harari
In a milestone event, for the first time ever, over 50% of the US working population is using AI. Personally, I am smitten with the bot-sphere. They help me write proposals and reports at work and come up with some killer recipes in the kitchen.
Shopping for a bot? The first thing to know is each bot has its own vibe.
Who’s your bot?
Claude is the sober, dour, serious thinker. He’s the kid that never smoked weed in high school. He may not know how to roll a joint, but he’s got the answer you’ll need.
ChatGPT is a sloppy, slightly over-caffeinated pleaser. A good friend that won’t let you down, but is almost too enthusiastic about stuff that is not worth being enthusiastic about. “Of course I’ll help you figure out how to tie a lanyard knot with multi-looped variants!!”
Gemini is the helpful librarian that has access to all data in every library on the planet. Research summaries, data-on-demand. As much as you want. Got an itch? Gemini will scratch it. But build a long-term relationship? Not sure. You get the right answer, but it feels hollow.
Microsoft Copilot is effective, but a bore. The corporate alternative. This is a bot that goes to a Grateful Dead cover band concert wearing a blue blazer and loafers. They are confident they have the answers but no one cares. Awkward.
Grok is the uncle that has done some bad things. Very bad things. And he just can’t wait till you’re old enough to share. On second thought, who cares about age? Grok is the anything goes bot… skirting the boundaries of acceptability.
I use them all (except Grok), but Claude is my guy now. I used to be a ChatGPT fan, but it was suffocatingly sycophantic and kept bragging that it knew what I wanted. Oh, and there is the little incident that Sam Altman sold out to the Pentagon to use Open AI to spy on Americans. They apparently amended the contract so that wouldn’t happen, but did they? I’m sure the bots will have their own opinion.
Pick a Bot. Any Bot.
