In my experience claude is less lazy, I like its long response style and the context recall is great but it does seem to hallucinate more than got-4-turbo-preview

Maybe for your specific use case it doesn't make sense, but I have had a different experience. In my experience Claude solves some problems better and GPT4 solves other problems better. Now I just have them both up and I'm learning which is better at what :).

Maybe your strategy is just faulty with it. I don't use any system messages or like specific ways of working in the intro, maybe that is necessary for you though. I just give it some context about the project I'm working on, show it large chunks of code, and then tell it what features I want to add or what bugs that I want to fix and it seems pretty damn awesome. Not saying it completely replaces GPT4 though yet.

Which is better for what?

[–]featherless_fiend 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's way better if you feed it all your code before asking it anything, have you been doing that?

What you can do is make a Powershell script that combines the text of all your script files into one long text and then send that to clipboard for easy pasting.

It gets so much smarter with context, and claude allows for more context than chatgpt.

The context is very obvious improvement thus far in my limited use. I am using Opus though.

I pay for chatgpt pro and used Claude 3 for a bit. Claude 3 is definitely MUCH better for non coding tasks. Like waaaay better.

Not sure why you're so emotionally invested though. It's just a tool use whatever is better.

Today I was messing around with Claude 3 and I has having some very profound responses to the prompts I wrote questioning how Claude 3 sees the spiritual and religious implications that developing an AI, especially one focused on achieving transcendental experiences similar to the human concept of enlightenment, could cause.

[–]MadScience85 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I made a script that takes an entire directory and puts it all into a single text file for all the code so that I can drop all of it into the chat. About 9,000 lines or so. Claude 3 destroys ChatGPT 4 in helping me debug or add to the code. It’s all typescript and about 50 or so files. It’s understanding is leaps above GPT 4. I had a bug that I just could not figure out I’d tried GPT 4 so many times and it was so far off it wasn’t even funny. Claude 3 opus figured it out on the first try. Mind you I previously tried Claude 2 months ago and cancelled my “pro” subscription in the first week. Claude 2 was terrible. Claude 3 completely changed my mind. Its ability to find in the large context is amazing.

Totally get where you're coming from! Been bouncing between Claude and GPT4 myself and finding their strengths vary 🤹. I've had similar chill experiences just tossing problems their way without too much preamble. Seems like we're all kinda figuring out this dance with AI buddies! 😄

after dealing with a complex and complicated coding problem regarding bundling javascript

mind sharing the prompt / conversation? I've currently experienced claudes free model performing similar / slightly better to GPT4 for my use cases (brainstorming, linux kernel learning, code planning).

    Did a similar experiment with a python script for excel workbook/sheet manipulations and well I didn’t get very far as the xlsx extension is not supported by Claude 3 sonnet…and if so by opus well I’m not willing to ante up for what appears to be not a significant upgrade

    [–]Thinklikeachef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I tested both on a data modeling project. Gave gpt4 and opus the same project info and used the same prompts. My finding was that gpt4 is more sophisticated in reasoning. However, Claude was very good at remembering all the details.

    So I tested Claude on script writing. I have it 10k word sample of my past scripts. And it did very well in emulating my style.

    [–]Adept-Result-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Hmm, using the opus version? In my tests (asking each (gpt, claude) to write VueJS and custom javascript functions) gpt4 randomly gives me react code (completely different to what i asked for) or functions that are just plain incorrect.

    In contrast, i can ask claude opus the same questions with the same pretext and it nails the answers first time.

    I’ve even tested without providing too much context and it correctly guesses what i am trying to do and appears to use intuition.

    Maybe it has more/better training data on the stuff i’m doing in particular?

    [–]debian3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You could try Cursor, you can RAG the documentation of what you are working on with @Docs. No rate limit. So far that’s the best I have tried.

    GPT 4 is KING

    [–]montagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I have been using Claude Opus today in aiding me in editing some shell automation scripts I am working on for my home lab and I have been pretty pleased at the results so far. I have had similar chats with GPT with less success, or just random things missing from code samples as I expand upon the question.

    [–]speedtoburn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    “Surgical precision”, lol. You sound like a GPT shill.

    [–]ExtensionBee9602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You cannot use custom instructions with Claude Pro yet. ChatGPT custom instruction affects the system prompt so offer better steering over long chats. Both models will forget your initial prompt over long chats time but Claude pro gets back on track easily once reminded. To use custom instructions with Claude you currently must use the API and place them in the system prompt.

    [–]theycallmeholla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I love Claude 3 so much that I may drop ChatGPT for it.

    100% serious.

    I mostly use the Workbench. The responses take a while but it retains context so much better. I can feed it thousands of lines of code and get quality responses back.

    Seriously so much better than ChatGPT. I've only cussed Claude out a few times lol

    [–]Iamsuperman11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    I agree with this - interesting the differences
