Pitfalls to watch at work

Grok

The default model has fewer guardrails on style and claims: proofread client-facing text more carefully than after other chats
In X settings, turn off permission for Grok to train on your posts and conversations, which is on by default
X data is people's posts rather than facts: check a quote from the feed in the primary source before it goes into a report

Mistral Le Chat

On the free plan conversations may be used for training, and you can turn this off only on a paid plan
The model's knowledge of national law and accounting outside the major markets is weaker than ChatGPT's or Claude's: check provisions and terms separately
Personal data goes into the chat only anonymized; European servers alone do not make it lawful
