It is funny seeing people ping pong between Anthropic and ChatGPT, with similar rhetoric in both directions.

At this point I would just pick the one who's "ethics" and user experience you prefer. The difference in performance between these releases has had no impact on the meaningful work one can do with them, unless perhaps they are on the fringes in some domain.

Personally I am trying out the open models cloud hosted, since I am not interested in being rug pulled by the big two providers. They have come a long way, and for all the work I actually trust to an LLM they seem to be sufficient.

Open settings > personalization. Set it to efficient base style. Turn off enthusiasm and warmth. You’re welcome

Yea but even then it's still annoying. "It's not about the enthusiasm and warmth but the general tone"

Setting “base style and tone” to “efficient” works fine for me.

Their financial projections that to a big part their valuation and investor story is built on involves actually making money, and lots of money, at some point. That money has to come from somewhere.
