I think it's a good rule of thumb that if you find yourself saying everyone prefers this model or that model you're in a bubble. I've made this mistake before, I used to go around saying everyone knew Claude was the only model for serious professional use, but I was wrong.
I always assume that people making those comments on HN are trying to convince others to switch to their model. Surely no one actually believes their friend circle is a representative sample of the hundreds of millions of people that use these LLMs?
Anthropic has the best marketing for sure.
Btw the guy in charge of that stuff for Anthropic is the same guy who said GPT 2 was too dangerous to release, Jack Clark. LMAO. That model could barely string a sentence together.
It's probably not a coincidence that I both prefer Claude and think that they made the right judgment call on GPT-2 at the time.
