Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company founded by former OpenAI employees, has launched its AI Chatbot, Claude. While the tool does much of what OpenAI’s ChatGPT can do, anthropic says its early customers report that the tool is “less likely to produce harmful results” and is “easier to converse with.”
Like OpenAI, Anthropic also has strong technology backing: Google invested $300 million in Anthropic in February. The company’s chatbot, similar to ChatGPT, can provide summaries, answer questions, provide writing assistance, and generate code. You can also tweak the chatbot’s tone, personality, and behavior, which sounds a bit more comprehensive than the “creative, balanced, and precise” settings that Bing’s chatbot offers.
Overall, Anthropic’s goal is to develop an AI assistant that is “useful, honest, and harmless.” It also doesn’t have the ability to access the internet, as Anthropic says it’s designed to be “autonomous.”
