New to Claude, really enjoying it

This might be a bit untimely with the rate changes. BUT as a non-technical user coming from ChatGPT / Gemini, I've been really impressed with Claude. My use case is mostly help with writing and research.

Compared to Gemini / ChatGPT:

  • Claude is much briefer, to the point.
  • Doesn't unnecessarily edit, or rewrite things unless prompted. Or at least doesn't do it as aggressively as Gemini / ChatGPT do.
  • Seems to be have a bit more candor and perspective in discussions. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than Gemini. Sometimes you have to like bully Gemini to give you a realistic take on something.
  • Using an actual application is kind of a game changer, and messing around with Claude Cowork was kind of mind boggling. I'm not a programmer by any means, but I'm genuinely excited to experiment with cowork this weekend.

I mean honestly just getting a response from an LLM that's like one or two sentences, and not a full blown novel that feels pandering, is so refreshing.
