    Agree about Claude. GPT grabbed some market share by being first but is by a long way the worst of the AI tools.

    Though I generally haven't found much use for any of them. Massive flaws every time I have tried to use them for anything useful. And the studies into cognitive decline in people who rely on AI is scary - basically replicating dementia in those who over rely on it.
    Not sure I ageee on OpenAI more generally.  ?codex (tool anyone can use to build anything technical) is heads and shoulders above its rivals.  ChatGPT makes OpenAI no money. They need the enterprise market to start turning around massive losses which is where Codex comes in.

    We use Claude Code from Anthropic, and it works well as a coding assistant.

    It's good for generating experimental software that I would not have written because it was just one of many possibilities, not all of which I would have had the time to try out.

    But I've noticed you have to know quite a bit about software to be able describe what you want it to write in the first place, and check it once finished.

    I imagine it is the same for most uses: it's an assistant to someone who already knows quite a bit about the subject.

    Yeah, it's mega...  :*



    Literally just now, while refreshing a dashboard I built from a bunch of spreadsheets - I got this after a previous failed attempt to debug a simple js function. Silly me though, I forgot to give it the correct context in my prompt: "Claude, fix these errors and DON'T FUCKING GUESS'

    Claude is a professional life improver for me - I'm in digital marketing so - AEO, SEO, Google Ads, META , Conversion Rate Optimisation - that sort of stuff. 

    I can connect Claude to various tools and get it to build strategies in minutes that would have taken me hours perviously - I can then stress test them I can trim them, make adjustments and have Claude do it all. 

    I can then have Claude package them in a deck ready to present - in my own brand colours. 

    It is literally optimising my performance and saving me large chunks of time. 

    I love it.

    I don't love GenAI, but I find it useful for some things.

    It takes skill to use it effectively, like most tools, so the Intelligence bit is over hyped; I would have preferred a term like 'smart', or some such.

    For coding, the annoying thing is that you have to review carefully what is has coded, and yet code reviewing is one of the most tedious aspects of IT.

    i use claude for more digging deeper into stuff and chat gpt for more creative stuff.  They are both very impressive but neither are perfect.
    If I ask Claude to do anything creative it's sadly lacking
    If I ask Chat gpt to do anything with a consistent style it will always do it perfectly once and then i can change one tiny thing and it completely fucks it up.  
    I find myself swearing at them almost daily but the stuff it does well it does really bloody well.
