Around 8 months or so of using ChatGPT/Codex, Claude, Grok & Gemini, I've found ChatGPT and Grok to be the best overall.

Claude often gets API and logic wrong and tries way too hard to "impress": When asked to generate Godot proof-of-concept scenes (or other stuff) it adds a lot of extra textures, colors, UI etc whereas Codex is more exact, does literally what asked, no more no less. Claude tends to flops in general non-coding questions too.

Gemini is the worst; it often refuses to search or interop with Google's own services like Flights etc. When I asked to do a reverse image search, it told me to go to TinEye

ChatGPT/Sora seems to be better at image generation than Gemini/Banana too.

Sometimes I ask them a quirky question or a random phrase and only Grok and ChatGPT seem to know what's up. Gemini would if it used Google's own search but nope.
