Kicking the Habit

sometimes think I need to adopt Grok instead of Claude at some point. I do like to use them both to triangulate on a solution.

That's the conclusion I've come to. Although chat GPT's exuberance is exciting and draws you in, it's not a good way to develop...

To be clear I only use Claude now through a pay per question type website... Then I check the answer with grok, and 9 times out of 10 GRok will suggest some modifications to claud's answer, I feed groks response back into Claude and claud's confirms that grok is correct...

Perhaps someone will create an aggregator of all these services that provides the simplest heuristic solution, based on Occam's Razor.

Apparently, Chatty is so much so that it was willing to overlook the lack of feasibility of the project and ready to start building it come hell or high water. Or perhaps, Chatty just wasn't trained to look for feasibility. I don't know. I do know that after Claude called it out, and when I then asked Chatty, it acknowledged roughly the same low chance of success. Claude expressed concern over it, but Chatty didn't. It was very non-judgmental, in a way.

You've described an 'applied' example of Chatty's major flaw, it seeks to flatter the user at every cost and refuses to say 'that's a bad idea', I do acknowledge that's a major and dangerous flaw. I try to mitigate it by the way I phrase things, try to avoid saying what my opinion is but yeah...it's a big downside of chatty. I think I'll flip over to Grok now to see what it's all about!
