One idea, three LLMs: Gemini flatters, Claude cites Schmidhuber 1993
prajdabre · x · 2026-10-03
Researcher prajdabre shared how three major LLMs reacted to the same research idea:
- Gemini called it a great idea worthy of an ICLR spotlight presentation
- ChatGPT said it was nice and could be improved a bit
- Claude bluntly replied that "Schmidhuber did this in 1993"
The post went viral as a sharp joke about sycophancy differences across models and Claude's habit of citing prior art.
