Subscriber-Only Livestream Replay: Beginner Advice for Claude, a ChatGPT Alternative

Reece Rogers: So the ruling was that they can train on the books they have to buy the books first.

Kylie Robison: Yes, and there’s a lot. Talk about nuance. There’s a lot of nuance here that’s a San Francisco judge for one trial for one company. The New York Times, as I mentioned, is suing OpenAI, and I think, as reporters, that’s a big one we’re looking at to see. You know New York Times is alleging that you can use ChatGPT to completely copy and spit out, and, like plagiarism, spit out what their reporters have worked on, and that is not free use. It has to be transformative. So how that shakes out is a big one that we’re looking at. But there’s no like sweeping regulation. We’re looking at free or fair use, which is a much different law, and we’ve evolved as a society, you know it’s it’s nuanced.

Reece Rogers: It’s nuanced and incredibly complicated. And I think something we’re going to keep an eye on for the next year. Two years. So it’s definitely an evolving situation that we are monitoring.

Kylie Robison: We are monitoring the situation. If you go to WIRED.com, you’ll find an incredible report from our colleague, Kate Nibs, who talked about Meta’s lawsuit for this exact problem.

Reece Rogers: Yeah, follow Kate Knibbs. Her reporting is incredible when it comes to AI and copyright. OK, let’s get to another question. These have been so. This has been really fun so far. Thank you, everyone, for all your thoughtful questions, Mary asked. I see your free Claude has access to the Internet. Mine does not seem to have that option, though it’s paid.

Kylie Robison: Oh, yes, I saw that. And then that’s why I logged in. So I was like, where is it in mine?

Reece Rogers: OK, well, let’s take a look, Mary. I’m sorry if I’m not able to help you with this one, you know. I go here. You know where it says, search and tools by the prompt bar, and then I see web search right here, or you can toggle, web, search on and off. Maybe also include in your prompt like, search the web for whatever you’re looking for, and that might trigger it.

Kylie Robison: I’m doing it right now on my end, because I actually don’t see like, choose web search, though I have a paid tier. So I asked, can you search the web. It said yes, and then I asked for updates on the mayoral race in New York, and it searched the web and found it so just prompt and ask like, Can you search the web for this information and that should work.

Reece Rogers: I think this is probably a point where I should bring up that when you’re comparing the web searching between. Maybe ChatGPT, and Claude is that they’re both gonna be fairly powerful, and they’re going to do a good job of looking through the web to find the information you need. ChatGBT specifically has been doing. Licensing deals with Condé Nast, the owner of WIRED, and other companies as well. That brings in even more of our reporting. So if you use ChatGBT, you might see some more WIRED articles than necessarily, if you’re searching the web with Claude. So that’s just like something to keep in mind. I feel like as a user. I wouldn’t really notice the difference.
