This has been my experience as well. I'm surprised at how many people in the thread prefer Claude. I'm also planning to cancel my Claude subscription.
I only tried Claude because ChatGPT UI is really buggy for me (Firefox, Linux). It frequency blocks all interactions (entering new text or even scrolling) and I have to refresh the page to resume asking questions. But on Claude, it was just crashing altogether when I went to open to sidebar. Seems like traditional engineering is still a problem for these AI companies.
There are definitely some shills all over HN now... But even aside from that, the sheer novelty aspect (+less robotic ethical alignment) of it is enough for many
