I asked Claude AI to make me an app and it refused and called it dangerous. I asked what kind of apps they could build and they suggested social media or health. So I asked it to make one but it refused too dangerous. I asked it to make anything.. anything app and it refused. I told it it sucked and it said it didn't. Then I deleted my account.

I can't think of a worse llm than Claude.

There have been rumors of the system prompt changing for some services if the user had strikes on their account from earlier conversations. I wonder if you were impacted by this because what you described has not been my experience nor have I seen it discussed previously.
I signed up two weeks ago after a hackernews story. I wanted to see quality vs OpenAI. Completely new users first prompt.
Tbh this sounds like a skill issue.
I'm having great success with OpenAI, local llms. I've created semi popular open source project that uses complex prompts to create specialized crms from just a few words.

If ClaudeAI can't create something from my prompts or their own suggestions that's on Claude. Maybe it was my new account on that day at that time. There was a 10 response limit too which made it unworth it to even bother with.

First account I ever actually deleted instead of just never going back. It was that bad.

Oh I didn't realize ChatGPT was working for you while Claude was not. It's just interesting because my experience is that claude is better at coding than ChatGPT-4o.
