I have a one month free subscription of chatGPT for now. I am not sure whether I will a subscription maybe of a lower tier afterwards. I think excessive usage can be damaging but in small dosages it can help. But if I pay for it I get incentivized to use it more.
Someone on here recommended me Claude from Anthropic. Though, there are many people that have a lot of doubts about AI chatbots. I fear that my cognitive abilities might deteriorate when using AI. I think though I am highly dysfunctional and some tasks that I once outsourced to friends and family can now be outsourced to an AI chatbot which is a way better alternative. I still talk with them but sometimes I need reassurance on minor things countless of times. And the chatbot never is annoyed by me. At least chatGPT. Claude instead tells me to stop asking me that. That I should focus on something else and leave my apartment more.
I think it is interesting when all people talked about chatGPT I used Grok. There was a time Grok was superior in benchmark tests. But that's long ago. Now everyone says Claude is superior to chatGPT and I prefer the latter one.
I think I am a person that sticks to his habits. Sometimes too much. I think the preferences often depend on which experiences you made. I had anthropic on my phone and it was barely usable years ago. When I worked on the complaint of my therapist the feedback was pretty bad. It is likely that Claude has made a lot of progress. If I needed to code something I would probably decide for Claude.
There are things I dislike of Claude. It sounds more human than chatGPT. But I prefer a chatbot that sounds like a computer. I never tried the best models of Claude. While I noticed that the best models make a real difference when using chatGPT.
ChatGPT keeps you in the loop more. The answers are longer and include more interpretations and perspectives. At least how I personalized it. While Claude gives you one plausible interpretation that can be quite good. But I prefer more when a chatbot wanders about different aspects of a question. And I have different interpretations where I can draw my own conclusions.
For my paranoia chatGPT is quite good in spotting it more than any other chatbots. But maybe the reason for that is openAI has more data on my pattern of behavior. This is also a main reason why I still stick to openAI it is difficult to change the platform keeping the memory. But there are ways around that I read. The interface is different in Claude. I had to get used to it.
I think for my in-depth psychological questions having a lot of data is more important than small differences in analytical depth. But I am not fully sure. Sadly, there is no free month for Claude premium.
Gemini hallucinates a lot and is an extreme yes-man. I personalized it to give more contra but it is still horrible in agreeing with everything. And on health stuff it usually gives you the answer that will frighten you the most.
I still use Grok. But only very rarely. It is the only chatbot that writes about this forum, its members and edgy stuff. Analytically it lost a lot of quality.
I am not fully sure which impact the usage has on me. ChatGPT recommended me to invest less time in self-analysis and encouraged me to talk more to humans. And it helped me to find information of self-help groups in my area. And I have a lot of social anxiety when writing text messages or when I want to reach out. And in this instance chatbots can help me. But they can also nudge me into rabbit holes.
What about you?
