The fight between Elon and Sam feels like a couple fight at this point. They roast each other every chance they get while constantly hyping up their own AI models to win more users. And in the end, we're the ones who have to decide, "Okay, this model is good for me, and that one isn't."

But how do we make that decision? Well, we all have our own taste. I've talked about this before, I don't know if it was in my newsletter, but I definitely mentioned it on my social media.

Different AI models launch within a short span of time, and if you look closely, they're fighting neck and neck on the benchmarks. You barely find much difference, usually just a 2–6 point gap across the top five models on the AI leaderboards.

But when you actually talk to them it feels different, everyone has their own preference. Some people like ChatGPT, some prefer Claude, some Grok, and so on. Even if you paste the exact same question into every AI, each one gives a different flavor of answer.
