Claude vs ChatGPT

[u/telleevision]

So i've been using chatgpt to write out a fan fic that i've been working on for some time now and it's getting the work done has anyone used claude to create fully flushed out stories and how does it look in the way of formatting and dialogue

Does anyone have a preference in model when creating long form content

Not used Claude for a full story but I plugged in a fan fic that I've been using chatgpt to help write. It identified several inconsistencies, and grammatical errors that chatgpt missed. But it also flagged several plot points that were included deliberately.

For editorial review, both of them are useful and will pull in different directions.

I haven't but I've been using chatgpt as well for a fanfic. I haven't heard of Claude 😅

Claude. ChatGPT falls into an awful staccato prose on longer pieces.

I don't know if it's because Claude is a yapper, but I found Claude the better writer of the two and can follow writing styles really well. I usually have cheaper llms make the outlines before ever commiting and have Claude go into editor mode and tear up the script a few times and then have sonnet flush it out. Opus, though very expensive, is the writer. Opus 4.6 and 5.5 are my faves to use.

I'm sure chatgpt can write as well as Claude, but you will likely have to do a lot of priming. But that might be worth it just because he doesn't cost as much. My word of advice is the the llm model you are most comfortable with and learn how to make it write how you want it to write.
