In my experience, within one reply ChatGPT (compared to Claude) tends to:

* generate a lot of text

* answer at least a few of what it thinks might be follow up questions

* restate its original answer a few times

* suggest a follow up “if you want, I can turn that into…”

It feels very tedious and noisy.

Yeah, this perfectly sums it up.

Especially the “If you want” at the end of every single reply.

The way it converses is the least human like out of all models. It communicates like its writing markdown documents instead of just conversing normally like every other model does. You ask a question and it spits out a design doc instead of just answering the question like a normal human would.

But why would you want it to converse like a human? What I need is concise information not a buddy to talk to. If anything I see it as a feature

I think it’s the default system prompts of ChatGPT. I do think it’s better with the “Professional” tone with “Less Emoji” but that’s just me.
