While I agree with this as a comparison of products…in a way. The AI knows nothing about the specific human with whom you are matching the technology, their tasks to perform, strengths, needs, motivations.

While there are things large language models can do to make things more efficient with information I have many thoughts about their applications to individualized humanistic situations. I’ve seen IEPs and goals coming out that completely disregard the student as people lean into this so quickly.

But otherwise, you can continue the dialogue by asking about subscription cost, average review, etc. After only a couple of minutes you can have a completely up-to-date table. I have used this frequently to compare things like AAC apps/devices, text to speech apps, etc.
