Clickhunt Lab's ongoing study pits humans against AI models at predicting which social media content gets clicked, and Claude Opus 5.5 now outperforms nearly everyone.
- As of Nov 2, 2026, only about 3% of human participants beat Opus 5.5 on the same rounds, a figure that barely moved over two days (down from 13-15% at the start).
- Other models tested include GPT-6 Astra, Gemini 4 Argon, and Jev 1.14.
- The poster argues this marks a before/after divide for the attention economy: anyone can now use an AI that predicts clicks better than the large majority of humans, a serious concern for anyone whose income depends on attention.
- The study remains open; participants get a personalized report comparing them with the four models.
