On Monday, both Anthropic, the developer of the Claude artificial intelligence tool, and OpenAI, the OG AI company, released separate analyses of use patterns for their respective tools. Looked at this way, ChatGPT is a tool for augmenting human capacity, not automating it. While ChatGPT follows the people, Claude is following the money, hoping to capitalize on business needs to improve efficiency and productivity. OpenAI is betting that AI’s greatest value will be to serve as a cognitive prosthetic for the human race. The company that best executes its vision may determine whether AI empowers individuals or rewires the economy, changing the trajectory of the future of work.
