Hey all
I’ve been diving into AI tools for the past couple of months, using the subscriber versions of ChatGPT and Gemini Advance.
So far, I've gotten a feel for how both platforms perform, but now I'm curious about Claude.
For those of you who’ve had hands-on experience with Claude, what does it offer compared to Chad GPT and Gemini Advance?
I’m particularly interested in understanding the pros and cons of each, from accuracy and depth of responses to overall user experience and unique features.
I primarily use AI to enhance my work as an attorney / Employee Relations professional, focusing on tasks like drafting, professional drafting, and in-depth analysis, while also exploring broader intellectual and personal creative pursuits.
Any insight is appreciated!
If I had to start over with LLMs -- by "start over", I mean my memories across all accounts were wiped -- I would dual-subscribe to Claude and Gemini first, and only subscribe to ChatGPT if I needed Deep Research prompts.
ChatGPT is in fact the LLM you should use if you can only pick one. It is also the best at image-related requests, though Gemini is catching up.
Importantly, ChatGPT is the best if you want -- let me elaborate!! -- a correct answer. By "a correct answer" I mean you know in advance that the answer to your question will have limited room for insertion of perspective and limited room to be influenced, in its response, by the LLM recognizing who "the user" is, which as we know amplifies sycophancy dramatically. So, for example, computer specifications or product availability allow for more "it's actually x" than "is my writing wrong?".
Any question where the LLM will not seem rude by saying "well, it's actually x" is ideal for ChatGPT because *if there is any* room to seem rude through pushback ChatGPT will hit me with the "Exactly" and the "Sharp observation" and the "Right, and ...". (Everything I just said here is even more true for ChatGPT's Deep Research feature.)
Claude and Gemini are less multitool but much stronger in their specialties. Claude excels at conversations and Gemini at context-heavy deep work. (Importantly, it must be the paid version of Claude; the free version of Claude is misleadingly subpar.) Claude is not so good at images and bad at document analysis, while Gemini is clunky with conversations.
But my point that I hope to make with this post is that ChatGPT is no longer the obvious 'winner'. It was for a while, and I think this momentum continued because of the idea that one LLM could remain domain-generally excellent, but that is clearly no longer true.
