Stop using ChatGPT for everything

Someone finally built the comparison chart I've been asking for

I've been rotating between AI tools for months. ChatGPT for one thing. Claude for another. Grok when I need something fresh. It works, but it's messy when you're just guessing which one to open.

Then I saw a LinkedIn post that cleared most of that confusion in one scroll.

Someone put together a side-by-side breakdown of five major AI models across 13 different capabilities. Not a vague opinion piece. An actual structured comparison with clear verdicts.

Here's what they covered.

How Jennifer Aniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads

For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.

LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.

The campaign included an Action Ad overlay that let viewers shop directly from their TVs by clicking OK on their Roku remote. This guided them to the website to buy LolaVie products.

The campaign helped drive a big lift in sales and customer growth, helping LolaVie break through in the crowded beauty category.

5 models, 13 tasks, zero guessing

The models: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Mistral Le Chat, and Meta AI's Llama.

The 13 capabilities they tested:

• Text generation

• Code generation

• Data analysis

• Data visualization

• Research

• Video generation

• Image generation

• File inputs

• Presentation creation

• Document creation

• Website creation

• App creation

• Learning assistance

No cherry-picking. Every model evaluated on every task. That's the kind of thing that takes real effort to put together, and it shows.

What to actually use and when

Here's the practical breakdown from the comparison:

For coding and app building: ChatGPT and Claude are the strongest. Test both with your specific language or stack. They're close but not identical.

For writing and research: Claude tends to produce more structured, nuanced text. ChatGPT has browsing built in, so it wins when you need something current.

For image and video generation: Grok and ChatGPT have this natively. Others need external tools plugged in.

For data analysis: ChatGPT's Code Interpreter and Claude's document handling both tackle heavy analytical work well. Either one beats doing it manually.

For learning anything new: All five models are solid here, but how they explain things varies a lot. Test your specific topic with each one before committing.

The main takeaway: stop using one tool for everything. Pick two or three and rotate based on what the task actually needs.

The Do's and Don'ts worth keeping

The creator also dropped a list of best practices. These apply regardless of which model you're using.

Do:

• Verify AI output against real sources before acting on it. Sounding confident and being right are two different things.

• Write clear, specific prompts. Vague input gets vague output every single time.

• Keep a human in the loop for decisions that actually matter.

Don't:

• Feed sensitive or regulated data into generic AI tools. You don't control where it goes.

• Rely on AI for high-risk decisions without review. Medical, legal, financial. Always double-check.

• Treat hallucinations as facts. If an AI cites a study, find the study before you repeat it.

Nothing groundbreaking in that list. But most people skip half of it anyway.

The bottom line

There's no single best AI model. There's only the right model for the right task. The smartest thing you can do right now is learn which two or three tools you actually need and get good at switching between them.

Small habit. Serious payoff.

Your action step this week: Run the same prompt in Claude and ChatGPT. Pick something you do regularly, like writing a summary, drafting an email, or analyzing a dataset. See which output you actually like better. You'll learn more from that one test than from reading ten comparisons.
