ChatGPT
OpenAI's conversational AI. Dave uses it alongside Claude; Pete uses it mainly for web search.
In This Conversation
Dave used ChatGPT to audit Claude's work and clean up problems:
Dave: "We got into ChatGPT, and ChatGPT cleaned up stuff that was, like, wrong and right, but then ChatGPT got, like, super aggressive on this one little thing, and ChatGPT, like, ate it alive."
Dave also used ChatGPT for structuring ideas on the front end, finding it better for interactive planning:
Dave: "Structuring the idea first in ChatGPT is the best, because ChatGPT requires that on the front end."
But ChatGPT has its own problems — context decay over long sessions, noisy output in later versions, and forgetting source material.
Pete's usage is narrower:
Pete: "The only thing I use ChatGPT for is web searches, actually... ChatGPT's web search is better."
