Key Takeaways
- We’ve stopped using ChatGPT for content generation and switched to Claude Opus by Anthropic.
- Claude Opus is more intelligent and accurate than ChatGPT for tasks like product selection and code generation.
- The popularity of Claude Opus has surged, indicating its superiority over alternatives like ChatGPT.
- Claude can write out full code snippets, while ChatGPT often provides incomplete or fragmented code.
- For non-coders like us, Claude’s ability to generate complete code is a game-changer.
Why We Use AI?
As an SEO expert and content creator, we’ve been on a constant lookout for tools that can streamline our workflow and enhance our content creation process. Recently, we made the decision to stop using ChatGPT and switch to Claude AI, specifically the Claude Opus model.
In this article, we’ll explain why we made this transition and how it has positively impacted our productivity.
The Rise of Claude AI
Before diving into the specific reasons for our switch, let’s take a quick look at the popularity of Claude Opus. According to Google Trends data, the release of Claude Opus saw a significant spike in interest, with the subsequent decline being much less steep than previous Claude model releases. This suggests that Claude Opus has gained more traction and retained users, indicating its superior performance compared to alternatives like ChatGPT.

Why We Stopped Using ChatGPT
- Accuracy in Product Selection
One of the primary reasons we stopped using ChatGPT is its lack of accuracy in selecting appropriate products for specific contexts. To illustrate this, we conducted a test where we asked both ChatGPT and Claude Opus to recommend products suitable for a “black tie” event.
Out of 10 products, ChatGPT only got one correct recommendation, suggesting items like normal suits, sneakers, and sweaters, which are clearly inappropriate for a formal black-tie event. On the other hand, Claude Opus performed much better, correctly identifying five out of the ten products as suitable for a black-tie event, including smoking jackets, wool dress pants, and bow ties.
- Code Generation Capabilities
Another crucial aspect of our work involves generating code snippets and making changes to existing codebases. In this area, Claude Opus vastly outperforms ChatGPT.
When asked to fix and modify code for our admin dashboard, ChatGPT provided fragmented code snippets that were difficult to integrate and understand in the context of the larger codebase. In contrast, Claude Opus wrote out the entire code for the affected pages, making it incredibly easy for us (as non-coders) to copy and paste the necessary changes.
- Adherence to Instructions
One frustrating aspect of using ChatGPT is its tendency to ignore specific instructions, even when clearly stated. For instance, when we explicitly asked ChatGPT not to provide fragmented code snippets and instead write out the full code, it blatantly disregarded our instructions.
On the other hand, Claude Opus consistently follows instructions, providing the requested output without any deviations or misinterpretations.
ChatGPT vs Claude AI: Examples
One of the primary reasons for our switch was the noticeable intelligence gap between Claude Opus and ChatGPT. Claude Opus consistently provided more intelligent and accurate responses, particularly when dealing with complex prompts or tasks.
Example 1: Black Tie Attire Product Selection
- We tested both AI models by asking them to identify suitable products for a black-tie event.
- ChatGPT scored 1/10, selecting a regular suit and inappropriate items.
- Claude Opus scored 6/10 (or higher, accounting for potential invented products), accurately identifying smoking jackets, bow ties, and appropriate trousers.
This test highlighted Claude Opus’s superior understanding of context and ability to provide relevant recommendations.
Example 2: Code Generation
- We asked both models to fix and generate code for our website’s admin dashboard.
- ChatGPT provided incomplete code snippets, making it difficult to integrate the changes.
- Claude Opus wrote out the entire code for the affected files, allowing for seamless implementation.
As non-coders, Claude Opus’s comprehensive code generation was a game-changer for us, significantly reducing the time and effort required to make website updates.
The Advantages of Using Claude Opus
- Increased Efficiency
By switching to Claude Opus, our content generation process has become significantly more efficient. We can now generate up to 20 articles per day, compared to only six articles per day with our previous setup using ChatGPT.
- Reliable Code Generation
As mentioned earlier, Claude Opus’s ability to generate complete and accurate code snippets has been a game-changer for our business. We no longer have to struggle with piecing together fragmented code or risk introducing errors due to misunderstandings.
- Better Understanding of Context
Claude Opus demonstrates a superior understanding of context, which is crucial for tasks like product selection and content generation. Its ability to grasp the nuances of a given scenario and provide appropriate recommendations or outputs is a significant advantage over ChatGPT.
The Popularity Factor
Google Trends data also supported our decision to switch to Claude Opus. While previous Claude model releases saw a spike in popularity followed by a decline, the release of Claude Opus showed sustained interest and retention, indicating its superior performance compared to alternatives.
Improved Efficiency and Workflow
Since switching to Claude Opus, our content creation efficiency has increased dramatically. We can now produce up to 20 articles per day, compared to only 6 articles previously. This enhancement is directly attributed to Claude Opus’s ability to select relevant products and generate complete code accurately.
Conclusion
In our experience, Claude Opus by Anthropic has proven to be a more intelligent and capable AI model compared to ChatGPT. Its accuracy in tasks like product selection, code generation capabilities, and adherence to instructions have made it an invaluable tool for our business.
While ChatGPT was a groundbreaking AI model, the advancements made by Anthropic with Claude Opus have raised the bar even higher. We encourage other businesses and individuals seeking AI-powered content generation and coding assistance to give Claude Opus a try and experience the difference for themselves.
