I've been using ChatGPT (Thinking). I like how it has learned how I do stuff, and keeps that in mind. Yesterday, I asked it to design an API, and it referenced a file I had sent in, for a different server, days earlier, in order to figure out what to do.

I'm not using it in the same way that many folks do. Maybe if I get to that point, I'll prefer Claude, but for my workflow, ChatGPT has been ideal.

I guess the best part, is that it seems to be the absolute best, at interpreting my requirements; including accounting for my human error.

Oof. I turned the history referencing off. I use ChatGPT for wildly diverging topics and it will bring things up that have zero relevance to what I'm currently looking for if history is on.

I like this feature and rely on it too. I get that some people hate it and that it can make some pretty insidious mistakes when it uses it, but I’ve found it valuable for providing implicit context when I have multiple queries for the same project.

Worth noting that Claude also has a memory feature and uses it intelligently like this, sometimes more thoughtfully than cgpt does (fewer “out of left field” associations, smoother integration).
