    ChatGPT vs Claude: When Your Go-To AI Lets You Down

    The Problem That Started It All

    Picture this: You’re in the middle of creating your monthly affirmations booklet, ChatGPT has been your reliable companion for months, and then… it starts crawling. Loading forever. Timing out. Basically becoming unusable right when you need it most.

    That’s exactly what happened to me this week.

    After relying heavily on ChatGPT for everything from generating business ideas to helping write my mental health and finance books, suddenly my main AI tool was letting me down. I had prompts saved, workflows established, and a comfort level built up. Then technology reminded me why having backup plans matters.

    Enter Claude.

    First Impressions: Claude vs ChatGPT

    The Speed Factor
    While ChatGPT was struggling to load a simple response, Claude was lightning fast. No joke—responses that would take ChatGPT 30+ seconds (when it worked) were coming back from Claude in under 5 seconds.

    The Interface
    ChatGPT feels familiar after months of use, but Claude’s interface is cleaner, less cluttered. It’s like switching from a messy desk to a minimalist workspace—sometimes cleaner actually helps you think better.

    Response Quality
    This surprised me. I fed both AIs the same prompts (when ChatGPT was working), and Claude often gave more structured, actionable responses. Not always better, but different in a way that sometimes clicked better for my brain.

    Real-World Test: My Money-Making Prompts

    I’ve been collecting prompts about making money, side hustles, and business ideas in ChatGPT for weeks. Time to see how Claude handled the same requests.

    Test Prompt: “Give me 5 realistic ways to make $500 this month with skills I already have”

    ChatGPT’s Response: (When it loaded) Gave me the usual suspects—freelancing, tutoring, selling stuff online, gig work, etc. Good but generic.

    Claude’s Response: Asked me what skills I actually had first, then gave more targeted suggestions. More conversational, more personalized. It felt like talking to someone who was actually listening.

    The Workflow Disruption

    Here’s what nobody tells you about switching AI tools: Your workflow gets completely disrupted.

    All my saved ChatGPT conversations with prompts I’d refined? Gone. Well, not gone, but not accessible when ChatGPT is being slow. All those follow-up conversations where I’d built on previous ideas? Interrupted.

    With Claude, I’m starting from scratch. New conversation threads, new prompt refinements, rebuilding that context that made ChatGPT so useful for my specific projects.

    What This Means for My Digital Products

    Remember those products I mentioned—the ones with zero sales? I was planning to use ChatGPT to help me improve the product descriptions, create better marketing copy, and brainstorm ways to actually get some buyers.

    Now I’m testing whether Claude can pick up where ChatGPT left off.

    First experiment: I asked Claude to help me rewrite the description for my personal finance book. The result was more conversational and focused on the “why should you care” angle rather than just listing what’s in the book.

    Second experiment: Asked for 10 blog post ideas related to my mental health book. Claude gave me ideas that felt more authentic to my personal experience approach rather than generic self-help topics.

    The Honest Assessment

    Claude Wins:

    • Speed (obviously)
    • Cleaner interface
    • More conversational responses
    • Better at asking clarifying questions

    ChatGPT Still Has Advantages:

    • Months of conversation history
    • Refined prompts I’ve tested
    • Familiar workflow
    • Larger knowledge base for some topics

    The Reality:
    I probably need both. ChatGPT for when it’s working properly and I need that conversation history. Claude for when I need speed and fresh perspectives.

    What I’m Testing Next Week

    1. Can Claude help me finally get some sales? I’m going to ask it to analyze my current product listings and suggest improvements.
    2. Monthly affirmations project: Since ChatGPT died on me mid-project, can Claude pick up the pieces?
    3. Blog content creation: Which AI is better at helping me turn my experiences into engaging blog posts?

    The Bigger Lesson

    This whole situation reminded me of something important: Don’t put all your eggs in one AI basket.

    Just like you wouldn’t rely on one income source or one marketing channel, maybe we shouldn’t rely on one AI tool. Each has strengths, weaknesses, and apparently, technical issues that can leave you hanging.

    What’s your experience been? Have you tried multiple AI tools, or are you married to one like I was with ChatGPT?

  • Starting My AI Journey: Learning, Failing, and Building Along the Way

    This is the first post in my “Learning AI for Real Results” series, where I document my actual experiences using AI tools to build a business, create content, and hopefully make some money along the way.

    Why I’m Starting This Series

    Here’s the truth: I’m not an AI expert. I’m not a tech guru with years of experience. I’m just someone who’s been experimenting with ChatGPT, tried out DeepAI, dabbled with Google’s tools, used Copilot a bit, and now I’m exploring Claude.

    And honestly? My results so far have been… mixed.

    I’ve created digital products—a couple of 50-page books on mental health and money management based on my personal experiences, some todo lists, and I’m working on monthly affirmation booklets. I’ve listed them on Gumroad, Etsy, and Redbubble.

    Sales so far: Zero.!!!

    But instead of seeing this as failure, I’m viewing it as the perfect opportunity to document a real AI learning journey. Not the glossy “I made $10K in my first month” stories you see everywhere, but the actual, messy, trial-and-error process of figuring this stuff out.

    What You Can Expect From This Series

    I’m going to share everything:

    • The Real Numbers: My actual results, including the failures
    • Tool Comparisons: How ChatGPT compares to Claude, which one works better for different tasks
    • Prompt Evolution: How my prompts improve over time (and the disasters along the way)
    • Behind-the-Scenes: The actual process of using AI to create, market, and sell digital products My Current AI Toolkit

    Right now, I’m working with:

    • ChatGPT (my most used, though it’s been running slow lately)
    • Claude (what I’m exploring now)
    • DeepAI (limited experience)
    • Google’s AI tools (occasional use)
    • Copilot (some experimentation)

    Each one has different strengths, and part of this journey is figuring out which tool works best for what.

    The Personal Touch

    What makes my approach different is that I’m not just creating generic “how to make money” content. My digital products are based on my actual experiences with money management and mental health. They’re not perfect, they’re not written by experts—they’re written by someone who’s figured some things out the hard way and wants to share what actually worked.

    That authenticity is exactly what I’m bringing to this AI journey too.

    What’s Coming Next

    In upcoming posts, I’ll be diving into:

    • Comparing how different AI tools handle the same money-making prompts
    • Real-time experiments with product improvement using AI
    • My attempt to use Claude to finally get some sales on those digital products
    • Honest reviews of which AI tools actually help vs. which ones just sound impressive Join Me on This Journey

    If you’re also trying to figure out how to actually make AI work for you (not just play with it), this series is for you. I’m learning as I go, making mistakes, and sharing everything I discover.

    Because sometimes the best teacher isn’t the expert who’s forgotten what it’s like to struggle—it’s the person just a few steps ahead of you, still figuring it out.

    What’s your experience with AI tools so far? Are you getting real results, or are you in the “still experimenting” phase like me?

    This is the beginning of my documented AI journey. Follow along as I test, fail, learn, and hopefully start making some actual progress. Next post: “Why ChatGPT is Running Slow and How Claude is Stepping Up.”

  • Real vs Real events remastered with A.I

    this is going to be a small post and a random one in the week but i feel like being honest with the viewers i have and the ones i am hopfully going to gain. at the moment I am writing a bunch of blog posts and i am also seeing what the A.I. systems are able to creat and or reword the posts i am working on. so you could say these are remaster by Ai like Chat GPT, Claude, and my other platform i have been using is Windows Copilot AI. i am wondering what do you like the raw ugly and open hearted posts i have been trying to learn and post about or the rewritten A.I. versions?

    I am going to try and schedual them on different days but that is something right now as a beginner is totally out of wack.

    Can you tell what posts were the real ones and the ones rewritten by A.I.? What do you think i should improve on?

  • Spinal Radiculopathy

    Hey I’m back and writing this with now 3 years of medicine and nothing really new. The last time I was writing about this I believe I was starting my new prescription. Naltraxone 5mg is a altered prescription of a larger pill used for alcohol withdrawal. This is a useful medicine the down fall is I have to order from a different state and to have it made is around $90 for 2 months not to bad but I wonder if I could find a compounding pharmacy in town. Now with all the medicine I’m on from Ibuprofen 800mg Tylenol 500mg, Meloxicam 15mg Pregabalin100mg, Nortriptyline 50mg Duloxetine 30mg, this a bit of medicine for a 34 year old I think but back pain, if you know you know.

    Ok so here is the break down Ibuprofen and meloxicam are anti inflammatory, so for swelling and Tylenol is used for pain as well as the nsaids(non steroid anti inflammation) Morton Advil and melexocam are nsaids. Next up Duloxetine or Cymbalta an anxiety and muskeletol symptom relief. Ok now I believe I would not need this medicine if i could just get rid of this pain, if only pain didn’t cause depression and anxiety about pain. Let’s take a look at Nortriptyline (palmor) another form of antidepressant that also shows signs of helping joint pain. Pregabalin or Lyrica considered a control substance for some reason not to sure but I have to present my ID every time I have to pick up. The only reason I think it is controlled is it alters attitude and may cause severe thoughts if stoped or prescription strength drop with out doctor oversight. I’m taking all these so I don’t feel pain as much pain as I normally do. Even on this medicine i still have really bad days and it does not seem like they are helping.

    For a year i was doing two jobs my main day job and I got a second job as a shelf stocker, Someone who wheels the boxes out to the grocery store aisles. Lifting boxes and organizing the shelf’s to make them look good for the next day customers. This job involved a lot of bending standing walking and lifting so to say if I was not active I would say otherwise. The only thing i was lacking was sleep so maybe my body was not getting enough sleep to rest up and feel better as you think. The doctors said to get more active and do physical therapy and that would help. The thing is some of the therapy exorcises would not feel to great or hurt so make it hard to keep going. By doing this second job I ended up loosing weight and hitting my target for weight. Like the Doctors say if you loose weight, Our bmi (body max index) I believe out of date measurement. At around 185 to 190 lbs being very active and trying to be happy. I was still feeling in pain at days and kinda feeling bad since I was in pain and i know my attitude is not the nicest when in pain.

    This is something i have a been trying to get over and get be hind me so i can spend some good quality time with my wife and kids. What is the doctors meaning for Quality of life, as I feel my Quality of life has been in a downward spiral as I’m not able to do as much as I was able to multiple years ago. You know as I am not Able to lift or run not even really play with my grand kids, yes grandkids. Just trying to get work and house work done then trying to tend to kids and play with them, makes it hard when your legs wants to fall off. Or you all of a sudden cant pick them up what do you do what do you say to the doctors without sounding like a pill fiend when all is that you want is to feel normal. Thank you for your interest

  • Spinal Radicalapathy

    Yes this is a spin on this medical diagnoses I have been given for my chronic back pain. Man oh Man Back pain with the triple ending and teeth grinding. What is this Spinal Radiculopathy basically it is when you have back pain and their is actually no cause that can bee seen and or diagnosed precisely in my personal case of having this diagnoses. When i googled this I receive this discretion from hopkinsmedicine.org. Radiculopathy describes a range of symptoms produced by the pinching of a nerve root in the spinal column. The pinched nerve can occur at different areas along the spine (cervical, thoracic or lumbar). Symptoms of radiculopathy vary by location but frequently include pain, weakness, numbness and tingling.

    So this is after years of going threw the process of trying to get better, feel better and just be happier. This is something as a 31 year old at the moment of typing this in the year of 2022 who’s is a father and a grandparent and has had a hard time feeling that I was their for my children and now my oldest children are having babies and I honestly feel that I am not in the greatest shape as i could be. We have been threw a very interesting experience with the covid pandemic and surprisingly I actually came out with a little bit less weight around my body but all that changed was food and mindset.
    Yes i know that this is not the best type of writing to read but i feel this is my type of story to tell and my very basic writing skills I am sorry in advance.
    Back in June of 2021 i weighed in at 240 LBS this was the biggest i have been and recently going threw all the mental anguish that has been caused by the media work and fear of what is going to be happening in the future with all this new and scary type of pandemic. I know now that what caused my inflation of weight also caused my mental anguish and to having panic attacks on a constant almost daily basis. Now their was a lot of going on and a whole lot of not going on at the same time. How is this and how can that be? I don’t know but that is how it seemed I barely remember the middle to end of 2021. My wife and i were some of the lucky ones to have a job that is considered important to stay open during the whole covid shut down. I my self work for a lending institute and my wife runs a restaurant. We are both managers in our fields and always working it seems and having to go out and work deal with the public even though their is preventatives in place IE masks, shields, cleaning, 6 feet separation. This did cause a bunch of anxiety for my wife my self and family in general plus we were able to finally get a diagnoses for my wife that she has celiac disease and a IBS . This is something that we had to get on top of and figure out. This is what helped with the loss of weight and what the doctors said is causing my pain. Well I lost that extra weight and yes i feel better but the pain did not subside like they thought.
    Around 2022 i went back to get help for the pain and nerve issues I have been having down the legs and through the hips. Fun stuff this is just my personal Experience and not medical advice. I did do what they said go to acupuncture, P.T.(physical therapy),use a tenz unit, and chiropractor. First off P.T. Works but when some of the movements hurt more than they helped it was hard to keep at it. A Tenz unit or a type of nerve impulse blocker by sending in small currents to disrupt it. The chiropractor could be nice but the one i saw was a soft pressure adjuster I call them the smaller built technician that uses a table press and nothing seems to work with that plus the treatment plan for like. 65 visits in in 90 days each visit like 50 bucks no thank you. So far i do some stretches from physical therapy and others to try and feel. Better but it is mostly pain and little days of little pain.
    As i am righting this now February 15 2023 same issues going on and i have been using more braces ie back brace, knee braces and even these sciatic knee braces over the others to help shut off the extreme nerve pain. Now it helps with walking upright and feeling good but does not completely get rid of pain.
    My doctor for chronic pain management type of care is trying something new for the chronic pain. This prescription is a micro dosage of a larger script and has to be made at a compounding pharmacy. These are a pharmacy’s that have the license to take heavy narcotic medicine and or there’s and combine to smaller and or other ways to use the medicine besides pill, cream,injection, and so one. This all depends on the type of license they carry.
    I just received my new prescription today and says take in the morning and i am like i want to get it in my system now since it takes about 2 to 3 months before full effect. their is a down fall to taking at night possible night mares. So lets see how this goes with the first night.
    This is part of my story at the time thank you.
