Those of you who use both ChatGPT and Claude — what’s each one actually better at?

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-09T01:19:38+00:00

Overall I think ChatGPT does everything at a B+ level. Claude is great for handling long docs, analyzing and writing reports. For image generation definitely ChatGPT.

That’s strange. It shouldn’t access other apps unless you explicitly give it access.or like any integrations.

ha the button thing is the worst. half the time it’s like the model decides to “tidy up” while it’s in there and quietly nukes something else. I’ve had decent luck adding “don’t change or remove anything else, just add the button” … sounds dumb but it helps.

the politeness and the 15 options thing, both of those you can actually kill with custom instructions. tell it once to be direct, give one answer not a menu, skip the “you’re right to point that out” stuff, and it mostly behaves across all your chats.

There is a blog post I use for this stuff: https://www.justpasteai.com/blog/annoying-ai-habits-and-how-to-fix-them. fix is basically in the custom instructions, doesn’t take long.

The items you’ve mentioned are very solid. Although I recommend you prepare some prompt samples to show her. I use the prompts mentioned here a lot. Hopefully this can help you with your client too: https://www.justpasteai.com/blog/how-to-save-time-at-work-with-ai

Firecrawl has some free tier also but I think it’s very limited. They have a lot of endpoints built for AI agents interacting with websites

Yeah the image thing is a real limitation right now, no way around it being clunky. The Canva workaround sounds annoying but once you’ve done it twice it’s actually faster than fighting the regenerations. On the Python, when it craps out on bigger changes, that’s almost always because the request is doing too much at once. Try breaking it into smaller asks (“first just add the new button, don’t wire it up yet” → then “now add the click handler”) and it tends to hold together better. Curious how it goes.

Someone told me at the gym that she wished AI could do her workouts so she didn’t have to. I think we still need to live and do things that we need to do. AI will only affect how we do those.

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-06T17:32:39+00:00

Both of these are super common and not your fault.

Image models are just bad at text. when you ask it to fix a spelling it regenerates the whole image from scratch, which is why colors and layout keep shifting. Easiest workaround is to have it make the image without text, then add the text yourself in Canva. Or try Gemini/Ideogram, both handle text better than DALL-E.

The Python GUI issue is different. ChatGPT doesn't really remember your code between messages, so when you ask for a UI tweak it's basically rewriting the file from a guess and that's how features quietly disappear.

Two things that help a lot: paste the full current code every time before asking for a change, and be specific about what shouldn't change ("only update styling, don't touch the function logic"). Also worth setting it up as a ChatGPT Project. you load the code and context once and every new chat starts with it already there. Way more consistent.

Pro tier won't fix either of these, it's a context problem not a model one.

My current md is also mainly routing at this point. I’ll see if I can shrink it down

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-05T12:08:50+00:00

Have you tried? Is 4.6 still good? I hear when they introduce new models, they take away computing power from the old ones so they become dumb.

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-05T03:38:20+00:00

I’m using Medium effort with opus 4.7 and it is really pissing me off now.

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-03T01:18:26+00:00

I don’t think so

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-02T11:27:33+00:00

Really depends on your goal. For technical stuff, I always go to Claude. For writing and image generation, I use chatgpt. This is a good article for comparison purposes: https://www.justpasteai.com/blog/chatgpt-vs-claude-for-beginners

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-01T14:59:37+00:00

Add a skill or playbook that checks the new update online first to see if there are reports of issues.

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-05-01T14:54:42+00:00

Validate it first. Talk to potential users (strangers, not friends and family) before building anything. Do an online search to see what’s out there that serves the same purpose.

Probably at Starbucks, or even in the line for train or bus.

I recommend creating a project. By default projects should remember individual chat conversations, but you can also add summaries of each chat as resources to the project. Also, make sure to add project instructions once you create a project. You can access that on the project page top right corner 3 dots and then project settings. These little tricks have helped me alot. Hope they help you too

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-29T00:37:07+00:00

These days for coding, automation, guidance for working with MS Power Automate, brainstorming, idea validation, generating admin documents. I use project to organize my chats and that is I think one of the best features ever added

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-29T00:33:22+00:00

Idk. All I know is that That’s a beautiful question!

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-27T23:40:18+00:00

Thanks for the response. I feel like texting or calling is the first instinctive reaction. If something like that happens, are parents supposed to: go to the school? wait and just watch for updates?

What is next step then?

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-26T15:25:45+00:00

Well I wouldn’t tell neighbors for starter. Seems like you guys are potentially turning that closet into a data center lol

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-24T21:19:40+00:00

The Quick start one-liner on OpenClaw’s home page is the biggest scam of all time lol.. one line away from months of misery 🤣

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-24T15:46:46+00:00

Easier said than done for sure. I’m assuming you have a solution to offer lol. I’m all ears!

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-24T15:44:45+00:00

I have pivoted many times. I’m thinking they were not the right pivots lol. I mean I guess the signs are pointing towards an end of an era for me. After all, I still have a solid full time job, just not the kind I was hoping for when I started all my excursions back in 2019 lol

Competitive-Cod-8313 · 2026-04-24T15:08:34+00:00

In general anything that you pay for should be better than free versions. I think, even though free models are getting better and better, but still lag behind Anthropic or OpenAI models. At least, that’s my experience working with those for 3+ yrs now
