   I've been watching the development of the free AI engines   
   since the release of ChatGPT 3.5. Specifically I use   
   Perplexity (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), and ChatGPT (OpenAI).   
   They have come a long way in programming on demand in the   
   past two years. Right now Gemini is the worst, but it is   
   the first I go to because the more work it does the better it   
   gets and I want all three, and the many others, to get   
   better faster.   
      
   Perplexity and ChatGPT are about equal, but I can't   
   cut and paste the code that Perplexity generates.   
      
   Until I got my own computer in the early '70s I wrote   
   programs for work, but I was not hired as a programmer,   
   I was an analyst.   
      
   I'm telling you, and anyone else reading this, because   
   whether you program as a job, or for your own use,   
   you should take advantage of every tool available   
   to make you code better or faster. If you are   
   competing in the job market you will lose out to   
   someone else that uses those tools more effectively.   
      
   For your own good, Lew, at least get some experience   
   with, say, ChatGPT in order to see how it might   
   help you in your endeavors.
