Recently, I've been enjoying just talking and brainstorming with Claude. It feels almost like talking to a really smart friend, and that hasn't been replicated by any other model.
It's a shame, because GPT-4o, despite being higher on the leaderboards should've been able to do the same, but it's not even close how robotic and LLM-esque(?) the conversations feel, compared to Claude.
I use them the most time as a way to check for “unknown unknowns.” For example, I’ll tell it that I have an idea about X, and to tell me if there are any similar concepts in existence, books about similar concepts, what some flaws in this idea might be, and so on. Google used to be helpful for tasks like this but is increasingly unhelpful.
Recall aid. You can describe a thing, historical event, concepts, whatever in very broad terms and it'll narrow it down and figure out almost instantly compared to the black hole that is tossing completely wrong keywords into google and getting nowhere.
