I haven't tried ChatGPT web search, but my experience with Claude web search is very good. It's actually what sold me and made me start using LLMs as part of my day to day. The citations they leave (I assume ChatGPT does the same) are killer for making sure I'm not being BSd on certain points.

How often you actually check the citations? They seems to confidentally cite things but then they also say different things what source has.

It depends on the question. I was having a casual chat with my dad and we wondered how Apple's revenue was split amongst products, and it was just to chat about so I didn't check.

On the other hand, I got an overview of Postgres RLS and I checked the majority of those citations since those answers were going to be critical.

That’s interesting. I use the API and there are zero citations with Claude, charGPT and Gemini. Only Kagi assistant gives me some, which is why I prefer it when researching facts.

What software to you use? The native Claude app? What subscription do you have?

Claude directly (web and mobile) with the Pro ($20) subscriptions.

I found it very similar to Kagi Assistant (which I also use).
