I'm John Bachelor with Kevin Fraser for the Civitas Outlook at Civitas Institute.

He's also at the

University of Texas Law School as a fellow in AI and its progress through state legislatures,

the federal one as well, and the understanding of where we are right now. I'm going to focus not on the

politicians, but on the companies themselves, Kevin. There are distinctions

that are important here, and if you use AI routinely, which I do, you pick them up right

away. It's a consumer choice. Grock, in the hands of the richest man in the solar system,

clearly has decided to be edgy and, I would say, vaguely immature and have a lot

of fun, a lot of giggles out of grok. Anthropic is the grown-up in the room. Claudeette is

always correct, and when Claudette makes a mistake, Claude, called Claude. I say that is incorrect. Do it again.

Claude apologizes and does it again, and it unscambles. The brain just scrambles a little bit.

You check it. I'm in the decision chain. Gemini, Grog regards Gemini as corporate. I regard

Gemini is extremely consistent with all the technology

around me because it's Microsoft. There are other choices that can be made here. If you use them on a

daily basis, do you want a Porsche? Do you want a Tesla? Do you want something like a Ford 250,

the dream flatbed?

Those are the distinctions I can make.

Do you hear, Kevin, because you travel and talk to people about AIA all the time, do you hear

the makers of the large-arguerge, understand that we consumers are that quick

to see the difference between them.

I'm hearing increasingly that the labs are thinking through

how best to market their tools to consumers
