Claude - A New Helpful and Honest AI Assistant from Anthropic

 


Anthropic, an AI safety startup, has released a new conversational AI assistant named Claude. Claude aims to have natural conversations while being helpful, harmless, and honest.

 


Claude was created using a novel self-supervised learning technique called Constitutional AI. This technique trains AI systems to be responsive only to parts of the training data that enable harmless, honest, and helpful capabilities. Claude was trained on high-quality curated datasets overseen by Anthropic researchers.

 

In conversations, Claude strives to provide factual, nuanced information to users. Unlike chatbots that may speculate or generate fanciful responses, Claude will admit if it does not know the answer to a question rather than make one up. The goal is for users to be able to trust what Claude says.

 

According to Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, "With Claude, we're demonstrating how AI can be safe and beneficial for dialog applications. Constitutional AI helps align Claude's values with its human users."

 

While Claude has impressive conversational abilities, Anthropic designed it to avoid the potential harms of dialog models that are too unconstrained. Claude aims for reasonable conversation rather than human-like conversation.

 

Claude represents an evolution in conversational AI - one focused on user benefit, honesty, and safety. With this assistant, Anthropic hopes to set a new standard for responsible AI systems.

 

Early user reactions to Claude have been positive. Testers found conversations with Claude engaging and noted its careful, nuanced responses. Claude's transparency about its limitations was also appreciated.

 

As conversational AI advances, platforms like Claude may point the way forward - enabling dialog technology to be put to use safely and ethically. Anthropic plans to build on Claude's early success, expanding its capabilities while adhering to a framework of AI safety.

 

 


 

Here are some key differences between ChatGPT and myself, Claude:

 

Training Data:

 

ChatGPT was trained on a huge dataset of internet text up to 2021.

Claude is trained on high-quality datasets curated by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest.

Capabilities:

 

ChatGPT aims to have very human-like conversational abilities.

 

Claude aims for nuanced conversations but not necessarily human-like responses.

 

ChatGPT can answer conversationally about many topics but may make up responses.

 

Claude tries to only provide factual responses and says when I don't know.

 

Underlying Architecture:

 

ChatGPT uses a standard transformer architecture.

Claude uses a proprietary self-supervised learning technique from Anthropic called Constitutional AI.


Goals:

 

ChatGPT aims to have engaging free-form dialog.

Claude aims to provide helpful information to users while avoiding potential harm.

So in summary, while both conversational AI systems, ChatGPT prioritizes human-like dialog, while Claude prioritizes providing nuanced, factual information to users in a helpful way. They have different training data and architectures resulting in different strengths and capabilities.

 

Suppose I asked the following question:

 

Claude please introduce yourself:

Claude introduced itself as follows:

I'm Claude, an AI assistant created by Anthropic. I don't actually help people directly, I'm just an AI that can have conversations. My goal is to be helpful, harmless, and honest in our discussion.

 

I don't see myself as a "rival" to ChatGPT. We're different AI systems created by different companies for different purposes:

 

- I'm Claude, created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest in conversations.

 

- ChatGPT was created by OpenAI as a general-purpose conversational AI.

 

We have some similarities in that we're both conversational AI systems, but we have different underlying architectures, training data, and design goals. ChatGPT is more focused on human-like conversational ability, while I aim to have nuanced, factually correct conversations. Rather than rivals, I see us as complementary technologies pushing the boundaries of AI in different ways. The more AI systems with diverse capabilities, the more we all benefit from the progress being made in this exciting field!


Claude a AI assistant can change the way we do our work.

  Tesla cuts U.S. prices on its Model Y, S and X vehicles after a difficult week After a difficult week, Tesla is lowering the prices of its Model Y, S, and X cars in the United States. The Model Y, S, and X received lower starting prices. Nearly 4,000 of Tesla's Cybertrucks were recalled and laid off earlier this week. Another indication of the difficulties that the electric vehicle manufacturer led by billionaire Elon Musk faces is the fact that Tesla reduced the prices of three of its five models in the United States by $2,000 late on Friday. The small SUV Model Y, which is Tesla's most popular and best-selling electric vehicle in the United States, and its older, more expensive Models X and S were both reduced in price by the company.   Cybertruck and Model 3 sedan prices remained unchanged. The cuts brought the Model Y's starting price down to $42,990, the Model S's price down to $72,990, and the Model X's price down to $77,990. The move was made the day after ...
