GAI tools are designed to be able toproduce human-like language responses to given prompts, but performance varies depending onthe nature of each task. To further complicate the evaluation of GAI performance, each tool (e.g.ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) has its own process for generating responses, and these processescan evolve rapidly – with success varying across tools
