ChatGPT and Claude Give the Same Coding Hint
Scrimba Articles
EDITOR BRIEF
A single JavaScript prompt was sent to fresh chats in ChatGPT and Claude. Neither tool wrote the function; each gave one hint and then waited for the learner’s attempt. The article says the key difference for beginners is not the model choice, but the prompt and what each free plan allows.
INSIGHTS
This shows that good prompting can shape an AI tutor into a hint-giver instead of an answer machine. Try retyping the prompt yourself and ask for one clue at a time while you solve the task first.
