ChatGPT shamelessly copied Claude.
But does ChatGPT still matter?

TL;DR
- ChatGPT has launched a new mega-app featuring integrated Codex (coding tool) and a new 'ChatGPT Work' mode for non-coding tasks.
- The update includes a new flagship model (5.6) with three intelligence levels (Sol, Terra, Luna) and adjustable 'efforts,' leading to complexity and confusion for users.
- Accessing the new ChatGPT requires uninstalling the old app, downloading the new one, and having a paid account ($20/month minimum).
- Users frequently encounter 'out of usage' messages with ChatGPT Work and Codex, even on paid plans, suggesting restrictive usage limits.
- Upgrading to ChatGPT Business or Enterprise plans reveals significantly higher costs, especially for larger teams, making it potentially much more expensive than Claude.
- Claude remains competitive, particularly for businesses up to 150 seats, offering virtually unlimited usage on its $100/month tier.
- ChatGPT's strengths include its powerful image generation capabilities and the introduction of 'Sites' for creating web pages, though the latter is still developing.
- Despite the new features, the author concludes that Claude is generally preferable due to its simpler structure and more manageable costs, especially for teams comfortable with its interface.
- The choice between ChatGPT and Claude ultimately depends on team familiarity and adoption, as the real opportunity cost lies in paying for AI tools that aren't used effectively.
