for a savings account that calculates interest daily and pays interest monthly, is it better to contribute daily or monthly?

for a savings account that calculates interest daily and pays interest monthly, is it better to contribute daily or monthly?

So i got into a disagreement with ChatGPT about whether you earn more interest overall if you contribute daily rather than monthly, if the overall contribution over 1 year is the same.

I made CGPT write some python code to prove it. His code is on the left. I still didnt believe him so I wrote my own, on the right.

Our results seem to disagree, so Im asking you guys, if your interest is calculated daily and paid monthly, is it better to contribute $143 per day for 365 days, or $4349.58 monthly for 12 months?
