Meet Claude: Anthropic's Rival to ChatGPT

Anthropic, an AI startup co-founded by former employees of OpenAI, has quietly begun testing a new, ChatGPT-like AI assistant named Claude. The team at Anthropic was gracious enough to grant us access, and updates to Anthropic's social media policies mean we can now share some of our early, informal comparison findings between Claude and ChatGPT. To show how Claude is different, we'll begin by asking ChatGPT and Claude to introduce themselves with the same prompt. Short and to the point -- ChatGPT is an assistant made to answer questions and sound human. The interface to Claude is a Slack channel using a bot that edits messages to make text appear word-by-word. This causes "(edited)" to appear.
