Summary
In today's episode, I break down the key differences between Claude and ChatGPT and demonstrate ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analysis tool live on stage at the Digital Now conference. Here's what this means for you. You'll understand which AI tool fits which task so you stop wasting time and money on the wrong one. You'll also learn these concepts: how ChatGPT's ensemble of routed sub-models handles diverse queries, why the phrase "do you have any questions" supercharges your prompts, and how the Advanced Data Analysis tool writes and self-corrects Python code on your behalf.
Key Takeaways
- You'll discover why Claude excels as a literary writer yet struggles badly with counting and data analysis
- You'll learn that ChatGPT runs an ensemble of eight or nine sub-models routed by a hypervisor, which explains its uneven strengths across query types
- You'll see how the Advanced Data Analysis tool writes, executes, and debugs Python code for you, making it well worth the twenty dollar monthly subscription for any data-heavy workflow

Today's episode of You Ask I Answer was recorded in front of a live studio audience at the Digital Now conference in Denver, Colorado in November 2023. The session title was appropriately, You Ask, I Answer Live. Generative AI QA. Enjoy. Go ahead.
I'm wondering if you could just, because I've heard a lot of discussions around Claude and ChatGPT specifically. And I'm wondering if you could you've been alluding to it, but if you could speak more directly to what are the strengths of ChatGPT and Claude, how would you differentiate them? Just in summary. This is from the this morning. This is so uh yeah, they you can get you can download the whole thing.
Um ChatGPT. So this is interesting. Um one of Anthropic's engineers actually just did a YouTube talking about the differences in the underlying architecture. Fundamentally, Claude seems to need more examples, but it's a better writer. Like it seems to be a better writer.
It is terrible at data analysis. It can't count for a squat. Uh like it can't even add. Like it for whatever reason, the way they are architected their model, it seems to be very much a just a literary style model. The GPT-4 model itself is under the hood.
There's a lot of debate about this. There's speculation is and seems to be true, that it's not one model. It's an ensemble of eight or nine different sub-models, and then there's what's called a hypervisor up front that takes the query incoming and says, I'm going to route this. Hey, this looks like this should go to this chain of models. Because about gosh, it was seven or eight months ago, everyone noticed that GPT-4 changed.
A, it got a lot faster, but B, the quality kind of went out the window for certain types of queries. And we think at that point they have now a blend of different models under the hood that are routed that eRoute queries, and it takes a lot more finesse and more examples for the router to even figure out where things go. But for there's some things it does, like the advanced data analysis, there's no other tool like it. Like that is the only tool to use because it is so damn good. Um if you've not seen the advanced data analysis tool, assuming we can get it working.
Uh go to this is in the paid version only, which is 20 bucks a month. It's worth it. Give up a Starbucks for it. Um go to advanced data analysis, and then let's take I need uh where am I? Oh, that is client stuff, don't want to show that on screen.
Um let's look at my data. Where is uh HRFs uh backlinks? Let's go into me and let's find a small file because these are so really gigantic. So this is you are an SEO expert. You know inbound links, inbound marketing, search engine optimization, Google algorithm changes Google Search Console.
Your first task is to examine this export file from the HRS SEO tool of where my back links are coming from. The goal is to develop a link building strategy that delivers high quality links consistently. Do you have any questions before we begin? By the way, that is a magic sentence in your prompts. Do you have any questions?
It will say, like, what are you trying to do? Again, this is the chat and chat GPT. You don't have to have the perfect prompt. You can say what questions do you have for me. I have here, what's the main objective of my website?
One, my website needs to attract subscribers for my newsletter. My target audience. Target audience is business executives and marketing executives. What types of content do I have on my website? Mostly blog posts and videos.
Do I have any specific competitors? Everyone. Five, do you have any existing relationships? Yes, I have a small network of friends. I'm pretty lonely.
Alright. And what the advanced data analysis tool does, that no other tool right now on the market does, is it will start to if it doesn't go on vacation, it will actually start to write code to process the data file, show you the code it's writing, execute the code, and then it will let you download the code and download the results. Let's see. Thanks for providing more context. Content creation, guest posting, influencer outreach.
Am I in ADA? Yeah, I am in ADA. But that's one of those tools that there's nothing else like it on the market right now. So this alone is worth 20 bucks a month because you can take any data file that you have that as long as it's not sensitive data and put it through here. So, like I put my Google Search Console data in here, I put my Google Analytics data in here, and I say, tell me what happened this month.
Um, because sometimes I don't want to go through the work. So here, let's see. So it's now generating this Python code. And the nice thing about this Python code is I can copy and paste this into a file on my computer, and I can run it separately. I don't have to use Chat GPT again if I don't want to.
Um, if it's doing this. Okay, so it's it's gonna do its thing. You can see here it wrote bad code and now it's gonna fix its own mistakes. Um, so that's that's pretty remarkable. For uh writing code, chat GPT's code is is better than everyone else's right now, except code llama for Python.
And again, for real-time information, Bing and Barr don't use don't use models for that. But that's sort of the the lay of the landscape for this stuff. Now, for other specific tools, there are like transcription. There's the Whisper model, that's not on here because that's that's more advanced, but there's there are different tooling for different use cases. I have a bias, I lean towards things I can do myself.
A because I'm a nerd, and B because I'm cheap. Um, but there are also plenty of vendors that will do all of these things, you know, for your reassuringly expensive amounts of money.
