Ethan Mollick Rewrites His 'Which AI to Use' Guide Around Agents — and Drops Gemini Entirely
Mollick's July 27 update marks a full pivot from chat-interface comparison to agentic systems, defined as those 'where the AI is capable of doing the equivalent of many hours of real human work in one go.' Gemini falls off the recommendation list outright because Google lacks an established entry in the agent-workspace category. The most builder-useful detail is Mollick's untangling of the naming mess across platforms — ChatGPT's Work/Codex modes versus Claude's Cowork/Code modes — and a genuinely poorly-communicated capability gap Willison highlights: on mobile, ChatGPT's Work mode removes the internet restrictions normally imposed on Code Interpreter.
