4. Actuality: Real-time information (Indexing)<\/td>Actuality: Based on your training date (or hybrid search)<\/td><\/tr>
5. Static Interaction: A query is made, a result is obtained<\/td>Conversational: The answer can be refined, using more specific and conditional terms<\/td><\/tr>
6. Zero Creativity: Shows only what already exists, and has already been published on the web<\/td>Creativity High: Creates content from scratch, using the data acquired in the training process as a base<\/td><\/tr>
