The vast majority of AI tools are vaporware mock-ups … Adobe Firefly is best example of “just ship a mock-up of the feature” Ai marketing

  Of course Adobe put out crap but Claude is a real product, not vaporware...

    Neither of them put out "crap"

      Adobe isn't an AI company so it stands to reason that the AI product they put out is crap. Photoshop and their other products while not "Crap" are certainly overpriced relative to opensource competitors.

        I'm with you if you're talking about krita, GIMP doesn't even register as a blip, if you are comparing it with Photoshop. Not opened but photopea.com and Affinity are the only best ones that come very close.

  Firefly has some genuinely cool shit in it (their text treatments are pretty neat), but overall quality is dramatically lacking because they only train on images they have explicit rights to.

You mean Claude bot in general? For me, yes, I use it daily, and comparing to GPT, it answers more quickly, more friendly and in general it is less woke. I use gpt-4 as a fallback, when I need more reasoning capabilities, there GPT-4 is better. To sum it up, if you find GPT-3.5&4 useful, then yes, Claude is useful as well.

  Out of curiosity, what do you mean by "less woke"? Does it frequently insult minorities or make racist remarks? Edit: To clarify, I was mostly interested in examples and side by side comparisons to better understand what OP meant, not political discussions.

    I'm not them, and I don't think "woke" is the right term, but I've noticed certain "themes" inappropriately appearing in answers. Right after release of ChatGPT 3, the marginalization of certain groups would show up answers to questions that weren't related. I saw many examples on twitter, but my personal one was in the answer to "Why are pencils bad?". This one has been "corrected" since release, as far as I can tell, but I also don't ask it questions where this theme could show up. Now, I only notice green energy/environmental issues that show up in odd places (mostly in GPT 3), and the "moral of the story" always being the same "everyone works together". I see this happen when "creativity" is attempted, where it's free to make up the context (story, wishes, etc). Outside of possible definitions of the elusive "woke", the "As a language model, I" type responses are the most limiting, and usually absolute nonsense, with an ever increasing number of disclaimers found in answers. For example, "Write some hypothetical python 4 code that sends a message over the network". Some pretty heavy "jailbreaking" is needed to make it work. ChatGPT4 used to handle this much better, but I think the "corrections" are stacking deeply enough that no longer has the "resolution" left to see where answers can be given without them. It would be nice if there were a "standard" theme of questions where we could measure progression, and compare, to know. Most times these observation or questions come up, someone is very quick to say "racism" or the like.
