I just tested AI deep research on Grok-3 vs Perplexity vs Gemini ...
Chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity have introduced a new feature that allows for deeper research capabilities. Recently, xAI launched Grok-3, which boasts over ten times the computational power of its predecessor, Grok-2. These advanced chatbots can handle expert-level queries, synthesize large amounts of information across various domains, and provide in-depth analysis on topics such as finance and product research.
While ChatGPT Deep Research is currently exclusive to Pro users at $200 per month, Grok-3 is in beta and available to Premium+ users for $30 per month. On the other hand, Google's Gemini and Perplexity offer a deep research feature for free to all users.
Comparing Chatbot Responses:
Prompt: "Analyze the global impact of carbon pricing policies on national economies and emissions reduction efforts."
Gemini provided a formal yet generic response without real-world examples or much detail. Perplexity's response was overly dense with technical detail and statistics, making it challenging to understand. Grok-3 delivered the fastest and most detailed response, including relevant examples and analysis, earning it the title of the winner.
Prompt: "Provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in quantum computing over the past five years."
Gemini's response lacked recent examples and had excessive historical context, while Grok-3 focused too much on historical milestones. However, Perplexity stood out by covering all major advancements in quantum computing, providing a structured and up-to-date analysis, making it the winner in this category.
Prompt: "Examine the effects of artificial intelligence on employment trends across various industries. Include statistical data on job displacement and creation and analyze the long-term implications for the workforce."
Gemini's response lacked depth in integrating specific trends and figures, while Grok-3's data sourcing and analysis were not as precise. Perplexity's response offered a balanced perspective on job creation and displacement, along with a wealth of statistical data, earning it the top position in this comparison.
Overall, Perplexity emerges as the top performer in providing informative, structured, and up-to-date analyses across various prompts, showcasing its strength in deep research capabilities among the three chatbots tested.
