Claude may seem incongruous compared to the others, however it's the only human sounding name, compared to the robotic "chatgpt" or others that sound generic or bland company names (Gemini, perplexity).

They intentionally chose a more bland sounding name, as, I assume, they wanted to emphasise the "safe" nature compared to their competitors.

As more information comes out about openai, people may choose to move to for other reasons, such as

- Openai adding ads

- Openai's president donating millions to a MAGA PAC

- Openai getting closer to the US military whilst anthropic standing their ground and rejecting them.

- Openai's recent products not being at the top of the benchmarks

The choice is yours.

A lack of creativity seems more likely to me. It’s a GPT in a chat window.

Except they didn’t. They folded faster than a house of cards during an earthquake. It boggles the mind anyone thought they wouldn’t. Ultimately they only care about money and winning.

OpenAI has demonstrated a severe lack of ethics, you're right, it's just hard to know how educated the average consumer is about that. The anthropic-military thing is a big deal but I suspect few outside of the tech world really understand the implications of what's going on.

Anectode: My aunt was talking about how she had a conversation with ChatGPT about how bad OpenAI was and the AI said "we need regulations", and that seemed to satisfy her somehow.
