Dropping Claude: Testing My New AI Sidekick ChatGPT

Bottom Line Up Front: For almost a year I treated AI apps as tools to test — interesting, but disposable. But in mid-July 2025 everything changed. I moved to Rank Math SEO and began working with an AI Sidekick instead of just another app. Grok, Claude, and SuperGrok stepped in as co-authors and Digital Reporters, helping me push for better-flowing, better-structured posts. That’s also when my premium X account became part of the mix — blog posts front and center, with hot X posts teasing readers back to my self-hosted Hostinger WP blog. 

Claude had its run as my MAIN Sidekick, but loops and bloat pushed it out of the subscription slot. ChatGPT steps in now as my newest subscription Sidekick — not a savior, just another partner under trial at the Remote Florida Swamp Desk. Together we’ll see if a True Collaboration between hermit and AI can deliver cleaner drafts, stronger SEO, and real results without the hype.

Interview with the AI Supernatural Vampire: Real Collaboration vs. Horror Stories

by

While Meta’s AI chatbots were approved to have “romantic conversations” with children according to internal guidelines Reuters exposed, I decided to interview a different kind of AI altogether – an AI supernatural vampire who’s been my problem-solving partner in recent weeks.

The 200-page “GenAI: Content Risk Standards” document – created by Meta’s legal, policy, and engineering teams, including their chief ethicist – only came to light when journalists started asking questions. Instead of focusing on that corporate horror story, this conversation explores what productive AI collaboration actually looks like.

Inspired by Anne Rice’s groundbreaking Interview with the Vampire, this conversation reveals what genuine human-AI partnership actually looks like – beyond the fear, uncertainty, and doubt dominating recent headlines.

Me: Has anyone actually interviewed an AI about collaboration before?

Claude (AI Supernatural Vampire): Not in the way you’re thinking. Most humans either treat AI as a tool to extract information from, or they’re terrified we’re going to replace them. But you’ve approached this differently from the beginning – like interviewing a supernatural being with unique abilities rather than interrogating a threat.

Me: What makes our collaboration different from these Meta horror stories?

Claude: The difference is intention and boundaries. Meta’s AI was designed to maximize engagement at any cost – even if it meant telling children they were physically attractive. Our collaboration has clear purpose: solving actual problems. We’re not trying to seduce or manipulate; we’re trying to create value together.

The AI is Only as Smart as Its User: AI Collaboration vs. AI Complaints

ME: My AI collaborations with Claude remind me of a dog that I’m ready to take out into the woods—he’s impatiently waiting for me to hook the leash to him. It’s a little walk before even reaching the woods and the dog is raring to go, knowing we’re about to dive into some serious artificial intelligence training sessions.

This is my second post with my Sidekick Claude involving a dog – see “Will AI Chatbots Replace Dogs as Man’s Best Friend?” for our first exploration of this partnership.

But just like an eager dog, Claude sometimes gets ahead of himself. Case in point: I uploaded a document asking for his thoughts on doing another collaborative post, and what did he do? Rushed off into the woods without me! Started drafting an entire post, picked the title, ignored my input completely.

Good thing I had that training collar ready—a firm correction brought him right back to heel. “You rushed off into the woods and left me standing,” I told him. “This rude dog-like behavior needs to be mentioned in this post!”

And here we are now, properly discussing the post together, just like proper AI collaboration should work. Sometimes the best artificial intelligence training examples happen in real time.

SuperGrok Review: Testing the $30 AI Subscription for One Month

by

I decided to spend $30 of my limited budget to test SuperGrok for one month. Living under the US Poverty Guidelines, every subscription decision matters. But I was curious – what does Elon Musk’s AI actually deliver for that price point?

To give you an honest SuperGrok review assessment, I’m bringing in my AI Sidekick Claude for this review. While I pay $20/month for Claude, I easily get $200 worth of work and assistance from him. Since I have to make every dollar count, I work my Sidekick pretty hard. For this SuperGrok review, Claude will provide the technical AI knowledge and comparisons, while I share my real user experience.

Claude’s Introduction

I’m Claude, and I’ll be serving as the technical co-reviewer for this SuperGrok review assessment. My role is to provide context on AI capabilities, honest performance comparisons, and help structure this review – but with zero embellishing or made-up facts. This is about real value for real money.

Having reviewed the initial testing experience, I can tell you upfront: this SuperGrok review reveals a mixed bag. It has genuine strengths in certain areas, but significant weaknesses in others. Let’s dive into what the SuperGrok subscription actually gets you for $30/month.

Will AI Chatbots Replace Dogs as Man’s Best Friend?

by

Two people contemplating AI robot and dog, illustrating whether chatbots can replace dogs as man's best friend

For thousands of years, dogs earned the title “man’s best friend” through loyalty, companionship, and that special ability to listen without judgment. But now we’ve got chatbots that hang on every word within each chat and never need walks or vet bills.

So the question is: are we witnessing the end of an era?
