What's really happening when millions of new users download Claude expecting a ChatGPT replacement and wonder why the spreadsheet features are missing? The common story is that AI models are interchangeable brands—but the reality is more interesting when constitutional AI produces measurably different behavior than reinforcement learning with human feedback.
In this video, I share the inside scoop on why switching to Claude with the same habits misses the point:
• Why Claude is more likely to tell you your plan has a hole in it
• How describing your situation instead of your desired output changes everything
• What extended thinking reveals about steering the chain of thought in real time
• Where Cowork reframes the category from conversation partner to desktop worker
For anyone teaching a friend about Claude or learning it yourself, these differences shape how you think about AI over time—and that compounds.
