Two Months With Elicit and Ideogram: The Gap Is Not Where You Think

I compared Elicit and Ideogram because everyone asks me which to buy, and I was tired of guessing.

Where I messed up: Elicit. finds and summarizes papers with the claims laid out up front Elicit covers fewer sources than a careful human search.

Ideogram nails text and precise local edits inside an image. The easy part: Ideogram needs a clear instruction or it reshuffles the whole frame.

For a sourced claim, the gap surprised me. The 'better' one on paper was the annoying one in practice.

I would pay for Ideogram and borrow Elicit. Ideogram nails text and precise local edits inside an image. Elicit is better only when you need claims with citations you can click, which is not every day for me.
