How do you all feel about GPT-4o vs Claude currently?

I use both Claude and GPT. The ONLY reason why I still use (and pay) for GPT is because it has a stand-alone app. Both Claude's projects and context size make GPT a child's toy (IMHO)

What is it about the stand-alone app that you find valuable?

I've found GPT still seems to give me better responses for some types of things, but its hard to quantify. I may just be hallucinating the quality difference.

That it's stand alone. I know you can have a window with just that page and stuff, but then you have a system wide shortcut to ask things (that combined with MacWhisper is magic) plus the conversational capabilities.

Why not ChatBox or Msty apps which are standalone and model-independent?

NEver heard of them, will take a look. Thanks!

For me it's that the ChatGPT mobile app can hook into the system microphone. I will turn it on, lock my device, then go for a walk/drive and talk to ChatGPT about whatever I'm curious about that day. Its knowledge is encyclopedic, not contemporary, but it's still pretty cool.

I use the mobile app for sure, just never personally had a use for using the desktop native app instead of the web app

If Claude had an integrated image editor it'd be easy to drop GPT for me. Love the speed of responses especially, and I'm excited about artifacts after some early playing around.
