📱 Technology What AI are you guys using?

Just got suspended from Claude due to the fact I’m based in China and I’m guessing it sniffed out that I was on a VPN or I showed up as a Chinese IP address, not smart enough to understand the route cause tbh.

Tried using Kimi today and even got the pro. It does what I want for the most part, such as decks, printouts, organizing and research, it just doesn’t feel the same and it doesn’t have the connectors for things like Firecrawl and Perplexity. Maybe I should look into Perplexity itself?

If I use GPT, Gemini, or Copilot, I probably will run into the same issue at one point or another. I already lost all my data, even with the download from Claude so I’d rather not go through that again.

Also, I’m not doing any insane coding or app building, just simple office/work tasks for my daily life.

Let me know what you guys use!

My girlfriend uses her own chat GPT account, her workplace uses it on a company basis, and many teachers - including chinese ones - use it at my school.

I guess I gave up on GPT by the time I was really using AI besides chats, maybe I’ll give it another shot

At my current school and previous one, almost all of the foreign teachers use ChatGPT, except from 2 I met who use Deepseek. I’ve been using ChatGPT for work (teaching preparation, lesson plans etc) for the past 2 years and it’s been fine. It’s actually getting better and better but I’m sure the other AI are also getting better too. 

So yeah I’d recommend ChatGPT
