i switched to claude when i found chatgpt would argue with just about anything I said even when it was wrong. they have over optimised antisychophancy. i want a model that simulates critical thinking not one that repeats half baked often incomplete dogmas. the chatgpt 5x range is extraordinarily powerful but also extra ordinarily frustrating to try to use for anything creative or productive that is original in my opinion. claude basically is able to think critically while being neither sycophantic or argumentative most of the time in my option with appropriate user prompting. recent chat gpts seem to fight me every step of the way when not doing boiler plate. i don't want to waste my time fighting a tool.
