I find that Claude is more conversational (better fine tuning), but not as smart as even ChatGPT.

Prompt:

  The original titles and release years in the Harry Potter series are:

  Philosopher's Stone (1997)
  Chamber of Secrets (1998)
  Prisoner of Azkaban (1999)
  Goblet of Fire (2000)
  Order of the Phoenix (2003)
  Half-Blood Prince (2005)
  Deathly Hallows (2007)
  
  Given this, generate a new Harry Potter title, using only the words found in the existing titles. Avoid orderings in the original titles. You may add or remove plurals and possessives.
Results:

ChatGPT: Blood Chamber of the Phoenix's Prisoner

Claude-instant: Chamber Prince Half-Blood Phoenix

The question for me is whether they understand complex concepts and can apply them in new areas.

So when I’m doing quantum computing work, I go back and forth between Claude and GPT4 and both complement the other very well.

I find the opposite, claude-instant seems to generally give me better results for my use case. FWIW gpt-3.5-turbo is good too, just not quite as good.

ChatGPT is more comparable to what Quora/Poe calls Claude+ - slower/more expensive/smarter. Claude-instant is closer to GPT-turbo in that tradeoff space.

Both bots are free on poe.com, so one is not more expensive than the other.
