People are switching from OpenAI to Claude following Sam Altman's announcement today.
TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.
Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.
Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.
What stance do you take toward big tech companies after this?
Are you staying loyal to ChatGPT, or are you switching to Claude?
BTW, one of the users on Reddit proclaimed about Claude:
"Claude needs time to warm up to you. It's strange, but somehow that's just how it works with Claude. It's the most human-adjacent AI I've ever used." I am switching too.

Fully on board with switching. Taking it one step at a time, but the direction is clear.
And that Reddit quote about Claude? Spot on. It genuinely feels different, somehow more human, more considered, not a lapdog agreeing with everything I tell it. Some principles are just worth following.

@anushka_gajabi Last month, I was using Claude predominantly too :) And I am satisfied :)
