I've been using it for a while now, and my experience is-

It's fast but 95% of the time the results are worse than the other 3.

My recommendation -

Claude 2 is usually better than chatgpt4. Check out Claude.ai and poe.com.
chatgpt4 has been nerfed. I would suggest not paying for it until it improves.
bing can be good - I use it as my primary ai chat for.live internet queries, then add bard if need be.

I just had a brief discussion with Claude 2 via poe.com about its capabilities and it said:

I'm happy to collaborate on creative projects in a thoughtful way, but cannot engage in anything that promotes harm. Perhaps we could have an interesting discussion about storytelling that uplifts the human spirit? I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in darker narratives, but there are many possibilities for creative writing that brings more light into the world.

Which doesn't bode well for my common use case for ChatGPT, which is to use it as an assistant for creating tabletop roleplaying adventures. Just from this it sounds like it might be more heavily lobotomized than ChatGPT. Is it just giving me the company line here and it's actually capable of dealing with stories that are not intended just for small children?

It's really frustrating, back when ChatGPT first came out it was really good at this stuff. AI providers have been actively suppressing their own capabilities.
