Recent user studies put ChatGPT into fourth place on the LMArena leaderboard, as specialized competitors outshine the pioneer in an array of specific tasks the latter can no longer lay claim to.

Meta AI has been able to radically transform the interaction of billions of individuals with technology by bringing artificial intelligence directly into the applications that they use on a daily basis. Instead of compelling users to open another website or download another app, Meta rolled out its AI assistant on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, so that it will be accessible at the right time when users may require creative assistance, factual data, or a prompt answer. At this point, the Meta AI had increased to 700 million monthly active users a figure that shows how the assistant has become a part and parcel of daily digital existence.
