Curious how people interact with LLMs besides just going to chat.com/Claude directly. I've been trying aichat but not sure yet if it's worth it, especially given the token pricing vs the flat fee structure on the website.

I’ve found using AI tools strategically helps boost productivity. I use OpenAI Chat, Cursor, and Claude, each for specific purposes. Claude is great for coding without memory and serves as a nutrient-tracking diary, but I occasionally reset prompts to manage memory limitations. Cursor handles programming well but requires persistent, structured questioning. OpenAI Chat’s memory is a double-edged sword, useful yet needing occasional edits. Living in Poland, I rely on both Claude and OpenAI for translations, especially between English, Polish, and Ukrainian.

The humor comes when AI ‘misunderstands’—once, ChatGPT hilariously offered to vacuum a room instead of translating the words "Please vacuum the room”.
