I'm not in the tech field, so I might not understand all the technical jargon, but I want to learn how to use Claude effectively. I've been using ChatGPT for a while, primarily for studying and breaking down complex topics, and it's been really helpful until recently when it started providing unreliable information. With finals coming up, I need a reliable AI partner to help me quiz myself and assess my weaknesses. I've recently started a pro plan with Claude, but I'm unsure how to customize it to fit my style or what its quirks are. For example, when I ask it healthcare-related questions, it keeps warning me to consult a healthcare provider, which I've learned to avoid with ChatGPT. What should I know about using Claude, what are its preferences, and how can I set it up quickly?

One thing I've noticed is that Claude is much more cautious, especially when it comes to health-related topics. It might require you to give it a lot of specifics in each new session since it doesn't retain information between conversations. However, it's great at reasoning through complex topics, but you definitely have to guide it well.
Thanks for that! It seems the key is to be specific with prompts. Sounds like I'll need to give clear instructions each time to get the best from Claude.
