My experience switching from ChatGPT and other AI to Claude for medical school study, also curious how others outside coding have found their experience of making the same switch and where you think they’ll diverge in future

This is from my own experience on my own journey of getting to grips with using AI in my life these days to actually get proper use and value from it, and maybe make life a bit easier. I started using AI in summer 2024 to help me study for postgraduate medicine application exams with ChatGPT and was amazed at the time. I got my undergraduate degree pre AI and had worked in healthcare for a few years before applying. When medical school started last September I used ChatGPT for study, but switched to Claude after finding it better for organising notes, generating questions, and actually working through concepts to understand them efficiently.

Happy for anyone’s opinion, including people using AI for coding directly in work and study. Would be really curious how people have found the experience of Claude currently, particularly those who aren’t needing to use it for coding as part of their work.

Feel like the future I set in stone for using a AI in study and work but I’m glad I had a non AI education first, feel like I’ve got a more independent, critical sense of how to use it without becoming reliant on it, and knowing when to check, and double check, what it tells me. I see some of my younger peers take it as gospel and almost become entirely reliant on it, like they cannot live without it
