Move Over ChatGPT, There's a New AI in Town

?? Listen to the article on the newsletter page

You’ve heard of ChatGPT by OpenAI and you’ve probably heard of Bard - Google’s response to ChatGPT but have you heard about Claude.ai? No? Well let me tell you about it.

I’m going to tell you about this new kid on the block but before I do, let me reintroduce the older kids.

ChatGPT is a chatbot, an AI tool created by OpenAI that you can converse with and get it to give you all sorts of answers. It took the world by storm when it first came on to the scene.

Other creators scrambled to get in on the game and Google released their competitor into the AI arena called Bard.

Both tools work pretty similarly and provide answers to questions you ask of them. Although I have found that ChatGPT tends to be more creative - my personal opinion.

I wrote an article comparing the two a while ago so you can check that out if you would like a deeper comparison of the two.

As I walked through the corridors of youtube, I came across someone who whispered a tale of a new contender to the generative AI market. The name sounded french. Its name was Claude. Claude.ai to be exact.

Claude.ai was released by a company called Anthropic, a safety and research company focused on AI. One of the things that stands out for me with Claude is its ability to handle up to 75,000 words of input as a prompt. That’s way more than ChatGPT or Google Bard would give you. Here are a few things I discovered about Claude.ai:

• It has faster processing time. Some sources say it processes in 5 seconds vs ChatGPT’s average of 30 seconds.
• It can take many words. In AI language, ChatGPT can handle 8,000 tokens with each prompt whereas Claude can handle 100,000 - which translates to about 75,000 words - that’s going to be about the length of my whole PhD paper! This used to be one of my gripes with ChatGPT.
• You can upload documents to it.

Like ChatGPT and Google Bard you can use it to help with a variety of things. Here’s how I currently use AI Chatbots:

• Newsletter Tweaker: It helps with improving my newsletter articles to make them funnier and more engaging. Example prompt: Can you help me rewrite the paragraph below in a way that is funnier and uses simpler language?
• Research Aid: It can help make my research faster. Example prompt: What tools can I use to add subtitles to videos I create?
• Data Analysis Ninja: It helps me analyse data. Example prompt: Categorise this data on the ways in which people heard about my organisation.Article
• Summarizer: It helps me get the key points of a piece of text quickly. Example prompt: Summarize this article from the New York times in bullet points.
• Coding Buddy: I often ask it for help with writing python code. Example prompt: Write python code for a game of tic-tac-toe.
• Idea Generator: When I need to jumpstart my idea generation it comes in handy! Example prompt: Tell me 10 unusual uses for a paper clip
• Explainer Tool: When I need something simplified and explained, it does the job well. Example prompt: Explain an IF statement in excel using simple language.

Personally, I still prefer ChatGPT’s creativity in its responses but I have to say, there are many reasons, I would consider Claude. I’m going to keep trying it out and see what else I discover.

To experience it first hand, visit Claude.ai. It’s currently available to only a few countries and it’s in a Beta Test version. If you are able to give it a try, let me know what you think.
