ChatGPT vs Claude for Writing in 2024

I've also compared Claude 3.5 Sonnet with all the other LLMs and find it works best for developing screenplays. I've been especially impressed by how well it can improve dialog using a couple prompt tricks. First, I created documents summarizing the most important points from Robert McKee's book, Dialog, and added this to the knowledge base. Second, I create a system prompt that specifies, "You are a god-tier screenplay writer with special skill at creating emotional and musical dialog at the level of Paddy Chayefsky, Robert Towne, Billy Wilder, Christopher Nolan, and Aaron Sorkin." By adding these names to the prompt, the LLM zooms in on the associated concept space within the model, raising the probability of certain word choices and associations. When I have Claude rewrite existing scenes with alternative dialog, it frequently produces higher-quality dialog that can be cherry-picked and added to the script. It is important to also develop detailed character descriptions and backstories for the characters and add these to the project knowledge base to further narrow the space of word choices made by the LLM.

I do prefer Claude. However, I don't like that they not only limit the free version, but also the paid version has a limit. I believe it is around 20 prompts per 6 hours, but it doesn't seem to be consistent.

I would love to see what they both do with your feedback. Claude is really good at iterating and improving on feedback (from my experience on other areas)

For your support

Can you do a video where you compare the quick fine tuned versions. You did a video where you gave Claude context to do a quick fine tune. Can you do that for both GPT 4.0 & new Claude 3.5. Thanks

Hi Jason, I decided to re-write the previous comment from this morning. I started reading your new book I got in Amazon, I had to pause reading it for days after your introduction on chapter about your journey. That mental block you had and overcame was just nerves. Glad to know you moved past it. I'll resume reading it after I finish my current Kindle book, Alejo Carpentier's The Age of Enlightenment (error in here edited out) and your book will be next!

Could you do more videos on nonfiction? And non fiction tools?

Just found your channel yesterday and I'm really excited! I've been trying to figure out some tools to make my writing more efficient (and honestly more fun) and at the same time mix in some of the intermedial level AI work I've been doing. I do have a question though. Which do you think is a better fit, a fine tuned OpenAI model or Claude 3.5? I have a project brewing that I want to test the AI out on.

Before I start watching; I have used both many times when I write code and I also have paid chatgpt subscription, but claude's performance is much much better, so I am thinking to switch to claude.

I’ve always preferred Claude for writing; in fact, I’m currently drafting a novel with the platform. However, I recently started using the paid version and was disappointed that it still throttles your output at some point.

Started to look at Claude a bit more, I prefer the Claude prose, Chatgpt can be a little to « emphatic » or talkative or repeating itself more. But Claude has a lot of limitations in the number of requests per day I think…

Just on a side note. I was shocked how much gpt 4o CRUSHES Sonnet 3.5 in math

Is claude 2.0 and 2.1 still available? Thanks

Best paid for puzzles

for writing prose, AI, in general, still has a long way to go.

I love u

How do you keep claude from like foreshadowing at the end of every prompt? Or like "gather round kids, we're summarizing all the last prompt!" It's so annoying.

your audio is noticably more 'muddy' than most other channels I watch. sounds sorta like your voice is being projected through your chest rather than your mouth. not sure if it's your mic or something with post-processing, but there's no upper range or it's too bassy

First!

Claude doesn’t follow directions and hallucinates a lot. I don’t recommend it for any non fiction.
