What makes Claude 2 special?
The free chatbot can also analyze documents. This is a feature we know from the paid version of ChatGPT, version 4, but now you also have the option not to take out your wallet immediately. You can download all kinds of texts – from reports to scientific articles – and Claude understands the content as if he had read it himself. Then you can have conversations about the main points. You will receive immediate answers to your questions. Even in long, complicated documents that are difficult to understand.
How does Claudius 2 work?

This means that this chatbot is also full of predefined rules which ensure that the answers generated are always well colored in the lines. So, with this ChatGPT alternative, you should also realize that the information you get is based on people-defined rules. Further tests must prove the real reliability of the chatbot. Some tests have already been done. You will find the results below. Conclusion: ChatGPT 4 is still at the top, but Claude 2 is quickly climbing to the top. Our tests prove that it mainly uses much more natural writing. just like ChatGPT the answers are sometimes erroneous or incomplete. Fortunately, this chatbot also regularly says sorry if you improve it. The system actively indicates if it does not know something.
How to pronounce Claude.ai?
The name Claude refers to Claude Shannon, one of the founders of information theory. With this choice of name, Anthropic wants to emphasize that Claude was developed in a safe and responsible way. We find the name particularly complicated, because how do we pronounce it? Well, then: Klaud.

How do you use Claude.ai in the Netherlands?
Although Claude is currently only available in the US, Dutch people can try out the chatbot via VPN:
-
Download Browser Opera with a free built-in VPN. As a Windows user, you can also do this through the Microsoft Store.
-
Enable VPN in Opera and select a server in the United States.
-
Go to the claude.ai website and register. You will receive a code in your email to activate the account.

Opera’s VPN makes your internet traffic look like it’s coming from the United States. This way you can simply try out Claude.ai as a Dutchman. Of course, you can also use your own VPN if you have one. This is currently the only way to work with the chatbot. After the first registration, you can still use the chatbot, even without a VPN. Another code will be sent to you, but then it will work normally. Even without a VPN.
Conclusion
Claude.ai is an interesting new chatbot and a very good alternative to the free version of ChatGPT. The Dutch can already try Claude via a VPN. Warning: the chatbot cannot compete with human intelligence yet, but it looks promising. Always check the results and don’t blindly trust what is said. It remains to be seen when Claude will also be available for the Dutch.
