Comment on Analyzing student votes across AI models for college essay help

Comments

I use Fable for writing code and some planning. I use GPT for planning/roadmaps and code review, it checks Fable. I use Gemini for stray conversations. Gemini has a better conversational style than GPT, less robotic; it hallucinates more unfortunately, it has plainly fallen quite a bit behind, but it's still highly useful to converse with, research with, etc. And it spares me wasting usage of GPT or Fable. I use Gemini for the 'everything else' category, basically. Gemini never goes anywhere near anything serious.

Fable & Claude Opus 4.x or 5 are terrible to talk to about anything. I gave up on that entirely and just use Anthropic's models for work.

Any less serious technical work I'll use GPT for, as the usage limits are quite fantastic.

Thankfully, college essay writing isn't in that 'serious' category!
