Blind Model Tasting: Post-Processing Hides True LLM Differences from Users
zeeg · x · 2026-07-28
The author proposes a concept of "blind model tasting," arguing that if all AI assistant outputs were run through a post-processor to remove obvious formatting tells, almost no one would be able to tell the difference between various models.
He suggests that even if users were given hypothetical future versions like GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, or a chaotic mix of Grok, the actual user experience would remain largely indistinguishable once their inherent quirks are smoothed out.
