The real problem with Claude for me currently is that it doesn't have full LaTeX support. I use AI's pretty much exclusively to assist with my school work (there's only so many hours in a day and one professor doesn't do his own homeworks before he assigns them) so LaTeX is essential. With that known, my experience is that ChatGPT is much friendlier. The Claude interface is clunkier and generally less helpful to me. I also appreciate the wider text display in ChatGPT. Generally always my first go and i only go to claude/perplexity when i hit a wall (pretty often) or i run out of free queries for the next couple hours.

you can enable latex support in the settings of Claude

  Where? I see barely any settings in settings. Maybe it is not available for everyone, or maybe it depends on your answer to "What best describes your work?" (I have not tested).

    Open the sidebar, click on your username/email and then "Feature Preview". Don't know if it depends on the "What best describes your work" setting but you can also change that here: https://claude.ai/settings/profile https://claude.ai/settings/profile (I have "Engineering").

      Oh, yeah it is in "Feature Preview" (not in Settings though), my bad!

    Go to the left sidebar, open the dropdown menu labeled with your account email at the bottom, click Feature Preview, enable LaTeX Rendering.

How the heck is LaTeX a bigger problem than the customer noncompete clause whereby you can’t use it to make anything that competes? Can anyone name one thing that doesn’t compete with this? Absurd
