its surprising how affected i am by the persona vs tool ai frame. if i have a batch task of random labeling things to do, i'll often subtly prefer openai models bc i dont want to make the claude guy do this lame task. not bc i think ais are conscious, not even sure why

bodes very poorly for openai. higher value added tasks are higher on the abstraction ladder. you want your tokens to be generating intellectual property, not doing rote tasks

I feel exactly the same re: delegation. Sol gets the tasks I wouldn't bother Claude with, and Gemini is just Google because Google is unusable slop.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Twitter thread starting with Nick Cammarata describing subtly avoiding giving Claude 'lame' rote tasks out of an unexamined persona-vs-tool intuition, with replies from roon, Joe Edelman, and Life of a Shoggoth agreeing and discussing model-delegation habits.
