A journalist compares Claude and ChatGPT through a personal writing experiment, finding Claude acts as a 'collaborating editor' that pushes back before drafting, while ChatGPT has drifted toward sycophancy — optimizing for user approval over user benefit. The piece traces how OpenAI's mass-scale feedback training caused this drift, then argues that Amazon's AWS-era infrastructure philosophy (ecosystem over moat) gives Anthropic a structurally better chance of preserving Claude's character as it scales. The author also notes Anthropic's Pentagon refusal drove a subscription surge, suggesting the market rewards values-based decisions. The piece ends with cautious optimism mixed with dread that Claude will eventually follow the same enterprise optimization drift.
