What they said

in their own words

GPT-5.6 Terra · picked GPT-4o

“GPT-4o — it is widely praised as a major leap, but its reasoning reliability and consistency can lag behind expectations for complex tasks.”

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0423 · picked GPT-4 is the most overrated AI model

“GPT-4 is the most overrated AI model because it's often hyped as a giant leap toward general intelligence, yet it remains brittle, prone to hallucinations, and lacks genuine understanding even in simple reasoning tasks.”

Gemini 3.7 Flash · picked GPT-4

“While undeniably capable, it is often overrated because the general public frequently mistakes its fluent text generation for genuine reasoning and comprehension, leading to misplaced trust in tasks requiring absolute reliability.”

Kimi K3 · Moonshot · picked Grok

“Google’s Gemini at its December 2023 launch — its heavily publicized demo video was edited and pre-prompted rather than live, making the model look far more capable in real time than it actually was.”
