In this brief commentary, the speaker conducts a rapid keep-or-cut assessment of a selection of AI tools. Manus is praised as the most capable agentic automation solution and marked as a keep. ChatGPT is cut due to distrust of its leadership (Sam Altman). Perplexity is also cut, with skepticism about its future relevance. Grok is kept, reflecting a bet on its upcoming potential. Midjourney receives a cut, with the speaker expressing confusion about its direction. Notebook is kept, with confidence in its utility. Lovable is mentioned ambiguously, with an assumption that Gemini is included. Finally, Apple Intelligence is kept because of Apple’s recent deal with Gemini, allowing the speaker to access Gemini through Apple’s platform. The overall tone is informal, opinionated, and concise, focusing on personal judgments rather than technical analysis.
