Huge numbers of people are canceling their ChatGPT subscriptions and switching to Claude. This exodus began after OpenAI announced a deal with the Pentagon. But Anthropic, the company behind Claude, made it clear it wouldn’t be doing the same, maintaining its restrictions on using AI for mass surveillance of the American people and autonomous weapons. We don’t know exactly how many people have made the switch, but Claude overtook ChatGPT in app downloads on the Apple App Store.As people move over, some without properly testing whether Claude is right for them first, many are discovering some significant differences between Claude and ChatGPT. The interface looks different. Claude is less of a “yes man”. And it has usage limits that have genuinely surprised some new arrivals. Unlike ChatGPT, you can't have a seemingly endless conversation with Claude, even on a paid plan.
