This is consistent with my own experience that Claude is just downright better than ChatGPT.


Same, I've been pretty impressed as well and typically give Claude a shot. Sometimes I even pass their results back and forth in an LLM collab so they generate more diverse perspectives. However, this paper from 4 days ago shows that Claude can fall apart quickly in out of distribution tasks. If you ask opposite day questions, GPT-4 is weirdly strong at it (figure 2).

Ah bravo! What was the prompt and Claude model?


I've actually been having much better luck finding recommendations with Gemini. I have been able to find some nice niche podcasts that I would not have found otherwise. ChatGPT's recommendations have not been particularly great and it feels harder to steer the suggestions in a given direction.


The inherent difficulty in raising kids plays a significant role in my decision. Additionally, I feel we are no longer glamorising parenthood as we once did. I remember when I was a kid, before the internet was a thing, it was pretty standard to see ads that claimed parenthood was an experience filled with joy and no challenges. For the past decade or so, though, I feel that parents are much more honest when discussing parenthood's challenges. We heard about post-labour depression, financial struggles, sleepless nights, end of careers and so on. It's a radical life change, and most of us do not want to commit.


I find this very useful as someone who's just learning how to play the guitar. My knowledge of music theory is still limited, and it'll take me years to get to a place where I can express myself in a way I'd deem "satisfactory". I just visited this page and plugged in my lyrics, and it arranged them into a beautiful song for me. It did it just how I imagined it, and that's terrific. Now I can ask my guitar teacher if the chord progressions make any sense, and if so, then we can transcribe it. I don't know who else this would be useful for, but I could see myself paying for it depending on how they develop the tool.


I think it means don't attribute to intelligence what could be easily explained as stupidity?
