Did you ever think there's a reason why people are paying for professional tools like Cursor or Claude Code instead of using free ChatGPT?
Ye, the free version has some known issues. They cram a lot of stuff into GPT-4o, so it hallucinates a lot.
Claude Opus 4 often gives perfectly working code on the first try, and it's much less likely to hallucinate or argue with you when it's wrong. It costs around $1 per request though. Not cheap. It's a model with many trillions of weights and running it isn't cheap.

Claude Opus 4 isn't the silver bullet as described here. I have used it quite often in the last few weeks to help me both write code and to debug system problems. I would say it's not worth the price and that Sonnet is, generally, just as good.
In fact I still just use 3.7 as it was stated that both 4.0 releases were less sychophantic, however I don't feel that is the case.
I also never have an AI "argue" with me, in fact I can tell it that it's completely wrong, when it's not, and it will agree with me almost always along with an zealous apology.
Sorry, I used a poorly worded phrase in my comment. When I wrote "for free" I meant without me having to think (vibing), not in reference to model subscriptions. I have a paid ChatGPT subscription.
