The author categorizes current AI tools from a user's perspective into four types: Chat AI, Tool AI, Search AI, and Agent AI. Chat AI, like ChatGPT and Copilot, excels at conversation but has limited practical execution abilities. Tool AI, such as Excel Copilot, is specialized for specific domains like image or code generation, significantly lowering the execution barrier for complex tasks. The author suggests that Tool AI is more likely to replace jobs by removing the need for specialized execution skills, while Chat AI differences are mostly in conversational experience and ecosystem integration.
