I’m not fully decided but I haven’t seen Claude edging out ChatGPT in my tests. Every query I’ve had over the last week or so I’ve sent to both of them (manually writing the question in one, then copying it to send to the other as well, no fancy tricks) and the results have been very similar.
I have used ChatGPT’s responses in some cases and Claude’s in others. I never had a “oh wow, X is way better” case with either of them and sometimes I even sent the same replies to both for a few rounds of back and forth since they made the same mistake/misunderstanding.
However, I will say that ChatGPT’s UI is better than Claude’s. The chat-like interface with the conversation list on the left hand side feels better, the larger chat text input box and wider UI of ChatGPT feels better as well. Claude is very narrow for no good reason. Also the model selector for Claude is annoyingly placed, I’ve accidentally clicked it on multiple occasions. Lastly there is no app for Claude, there is no voice chat (that I’ve seen), nor can you modify the prompt/response which I didn’t think I’d miss as much as I do.
After this month is up I think I’ll stop paying for Claude unless something changes but I’ll continue to double-ask until then.
- patrickhogan1 3y agoAgree on Claude UI. Its selling point is, I have a bigger context window. But the chat UI is this tiny little box that doesn’t extend. Small nit which I’m sure they will fix.
- xerox13ster 3y agoYou could easily make the box expandable with a home rolled browser extension by changing the input field’s properties. You could even ask Claude to write it for you.
- joshstrange 3y agoI could and I might but if Claude 3 Opus and ChatGPT 4 are both pretty much on par with each other in my tests and I prefer ChatGPT's UI (and ChatGPT 5 is probably coming before Claude 4) then I'll probably just keep using ChatGPT. Also I don't think Claude 3 is going to write me an iOS app to interact with it and do things like voice chat (or rather I'm not going to jump through those hoops even if it could), that's another place where ChatGPT excels.
