ChatGPT, Copilot & Gemini: Strengths, Weaknesses & Risks

TechDaily.ai

In this episode of Techdaily.ai, we take a hard look at three of today’s most talked-about AI tools—ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini—to understand where they shine, where they stumble, and what they mean for the future of work, learning, and creativity.

Drawing on recent studies and real-world examples, we unpack:

• 🎓 AI in healthcare education: Why ChatGPT excelled at advanced reasoning, while Copilot and Gemini lagged behind.
• 💻 Copilot’s two faces: Microsoft Copilot as an embedded productivity layer in Office 365, versus GitHub Copilot as an AI pair programmer reshaping developer workflows.
• 📊 Impact on coding: How GitHub Copilot reduces collaboration bottlenecks, boosts exploration, lowers critical vulnerabilities by 33.9%, and even helps level the playing field for less experienced developers.
• 📧 Enterprise trust & security: Why Microsoft emphasizes encrypted prompts, strict data residency, and content filters for its Copilot tools.
• ⚖️ Legal and ethical questions: The risks of AI-generated code trained on open-source repositories—and how code referencing and AI councils help mitigate them.
• 📝 Prompting like a pro: Why crafting clear, specific prompts is 50% of the job—and how using toy examples, shorter contexts, and restarts can dramatically improve results.
• 🔍 When to trust AI code: The “30–40 line” rule, why AI is great for boilerplate, but complex problem-solving still requires human review.
• 🌐 The bigger picture: What these tools tell us about the future of knowledge work—and whether “core work” itself is being redefined as AI becomes more capable.

AI is no longer just a novelty—it’s an everyday partner in classrooms, boardrooms, and codebases. But as this episode makes clear, the tools are only as powerful (and safe) as the humans guiding them.
