I use both Claude and ChatGPT/GPT-4o a lot. Claude, the model, definitely is 'better' than GPT-4o. But OpenAI provides a much more capable app in ChatGPT and an easier development platform.
I would absolutely choose to use Claude as my model with ChatGPT if that happened (yes, I know it won't). ChatGPT as an app is just so far ahead: code interpreter, web search/fetch, fluid voice interaction, Custom GPTs, image generation, and memory. It isn't close. But Claude absolutely produces better code, only being beaten by ChatGPT because it can fetch data from the web to RAG enhance its knowledge of things like APIs.
Claude's implementation of artifacts is very good though, and I'm sure that is what lead OpenAI to push out their buggy canvas feature.
