Clickbait: Which corporate chatbot are you utilizing for everyday use?

AI is all the rage these days. Even if you don't need it and didn't ask for it, it's there. In the immortal words of Kyle Reese, "It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and it absolutely will not stop. Ever." It's safe to say until the AI bubble pops we are stuck having "AI" being an internet invasive species. Unnaturally, companies are creating LLM Chatbots for their own websites/products/brands. Various internet forums (ok fine, mostly just reddit) have reported that these LLMs are able to provide information way out of their area of expertise. Most chatbots require users to have an account and login to chat, but I found a couple that didn't and decided to put some of them to the test and share my insights. Below are the LLMs I checked out with links and screenshots.

Amazon Rufus

Rufus is Amazon's bot for helping manage shopping issues that usually end up going to an offshore customer service rep. While still in beta, Rufus was able to provide me with some great stakeholder advice.

I will give credit to Rufus for the products upsell. Well done Rufus, you evil corporate capitalist chatbot!

Ramsey Solutions

This is Dave Ramsey's LLM for financial money management. Dave is famous for grifting a process of getting out of debt by selling books and courses while telling people to drive the crappiest cars imaginable then have them eating only beans and rice (not the best nutritionist of advice). Rather than asking it why I can't stop eating over-priced avocado toast and drinking my daily Starbucks latte (and if this is really impacting my finances), I decided to ask it something a bit more out of it's realm and in mine.

I guess I will be coming to Dave's LLM for when I need to explain project estimates for stakeholders.

LDS Bot

This is an chatbot run by the B.H. Roberts Foundation, which focuses on LDS (mormon) related research and education. It's meant to be a religious conversation tool, but I have found other purposes for it.
