Mixed feelings about this: clearly this is meant to match one of the killer features of Claude. I like using Claude, and I'm also a big supporter of Anthropic - not just because it's an underdog, but due to its responsible and ethical corporate governance model[1], which stands in stark contrast to OpenAI. It's worrying to see ChatGPT close one of the gaps between it and Claude. [1] https://www.anthropic.com/news/the…

> clearly this is meant to match one of the killer features of Claude. where does Claude have a canvas like interface? I'm only seeing https://claude.ai/chat and I would love to know.

I'm guessing they mean Artifacts: https://www.anthropic.com/news/artifacts

More company efforts being spent on iterative solutions. This won't be enough to keep the hype up for the $7T.

I'm expecting they will exhaust the alphabet with GPT-4 before we see GPT-5 and even then what major CS breakthrough will they need to deliver on the promise?

I'm playing around with this right now and it's pretty sweet. It real-time shows which lines it's "thinking" about working and feels very dynamic, like I'm working with a machine in real-time. It can't display markdown and formatted code side-by-side which is kind of a surprise. I haven't tried doing anything super complex with it yet. Just having it generate some poems, but it's smart enough to be able to use natura…

Is it possible to have the local context be a directory and all files within it or something? Ie to just ask it questions on the side of your WIP repo? Use your normal editor/etc.

Doesn't look like this is yet possible, no

Slick interface but the example they gave is depressing. We taught the model to open a canvas for prompts like “Write a blog post about the history of coffee beans”. If you're not heavily editing this post to say something genuinely new, then congratulations you've added even more drivel to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch of the internet.

Some people really think that they are now "content writers" with ChatGPT, just as those spitting out sort-of-working scripts think they are "software engineers". I am sorry, dears, but this is not how it works. To be good at any of this, you should be able to do it yourself without any "prompt engineering", and the only path is through work, time, trial/error, and tons of frustration.

I get the argument against AI tools when it's about them not working as well as the hype says they do, but not when they are the "how dare you use a tool that makes it easier for you! That's cheating!" argument. When I was in school cheap pocket calculators were just becoming available. All of my teachers banned them as they saw them as an existential threat to teaching math and science. These days students are generally allowed calculators -- the teachers finally accepted that it's a good thing that tools can automate the rote parts so that teaching can move on to the more interesting and thought-provoking parts.

This is similar to Artifacts [0] in Claude.

I think you can enable Artifacts, which are similar to OpenAI Canvas. Recently, Anthropic also added the ability to select elements within the created Artifact and adjust them (e.g., adjust length, improve code), similar to what Canvas can do.

As much as I want to like Claude, it sucks in comparison to ChatGPT in every way I've tested, and I'm going to use the better product. As a consumer, the governance model only results in an inferior product that produces way more refusals for basic tasks.
