Two things interest me about Claude being better than GPT-4:
1) We are all breathless that it is better. But a year has passed since GPT4. It’s like we’re excited that someone beat Usain Bolt’s 100 meter time from when he was 7. Impressive, but … he’s twenty now, has been training like a maniac, and we’ll see what happens when he runs his next race.
2) It’s shown AI chat products have no switching costs right now. I now use mostly Claude and pay them money. Each chat is a universe that starts from scratch, so … very easy to switch. Curious if deeper integrations with my data, or real chat memory, will change that.
