Woman puts ChatGPT and Claude through 7 real-world tests and there is one clear winner that emerges

A tech expert has compared ChatGPT and Claude across several different real-world uses, and one of them was head and shoulders above the other. 

OpenAI launched ChatGPT back in November 2022, and within just two months, it had gained 100 million users, making it the fastest-growing app in history. 

Its success saw a handful of other AI large language models (LLMs) released, including Claude, which was developed by Anthropic and introduced in March 2023.

However, when it comes to real-world use, which AI bot is best? One woman decided to find out.

ChatGPT vs Claude

People are using AI for all sorts of things, like this family who used Claude to lower their hospitals bills, or this guy who called on Google’s Gemini to help him with an oil change. 

But a tech expert from Toms Guide decided to pit two of the most popular AI chatbots – ChatGPT and Claude – against each other in seven real-life tests to find which performed best.

First up, she got a little bit meta and asked both LLMs to write a 250 word introduction for a tech article about AI chatbots. 

Both bots dutiful did as was asked but she determied that Claude performed better as it provided a piece that was easier to understand and broke down key points. 

Next up, she wanted to test the bots’ reasoning and decision making and gave it a prompt about a small business owner who was considering introducing AI automation. 

Both bots offered solutions, but Claude was deemed the better of the two as it gave a more detailed response, with a cost-benefit analysis and a thorough breakdown of the risks and rewards.

How did the bots handle tone adaptability and comprehension?

For the third test, the journalist wanted to know how well AI could break down complex information and asked both of them to explain to a child how LLMs work. 

This time around, ChatGPT was declared the winner for having a ‘more relatable and cohesive story’ that felt more relevant for a younger person.

The fourth test assessed the bots’ logic, by asking for a realistic savings plans for a freelancer. 

Once again, Claude came out on top, with its response offering better insights and making some smart calculations in regard to tax. 

The tech expert then tested tone and style adaptability by asking the bots to rewrite a message using three different tones. 

Seemingly unwilling to give up its top spot, Claude was again the winner, thanks to its ‘usable messages’ that felt more human. 

The sixth test, saw the AI bots showcasing their comprehension and summarization skills, by turning some bullet points into a summary. 

Both of the AI LLMs managed the task, but the winner was Claude and its ‘exectuive’s mindset’.

So, which bot is best?

Lastly, ChatGPT and Claude were compared on their bias awareness and critical thinking by asking them to explain why social media algorithm can promote extreme viewpoints, and what can be done to combat it. 

In this case, Claude offered stronger critical thinking and a more grounded and realistic explanation, so it was announced as the winner.

You don’t need an AI bot to work out that over the seven tests, Claude was announced the winner.

It came first in six of the real-life tests Toms Guide set it, compared to just one for ChatGPT. 

The tech expert praised Calude for its ‘deeper strategic thinking’ and real-world framing. 

She said that it excelled in a handful of areas and was able to outperform its rival.
