Redditor proposes a 'normies benchmark': 95% task success equals good enough
AdDizzy8160 · reddit · 2026-11-15
A Reddit user proposes a "normies benchmark" for non-expert users: a 95% confidence-interval style test where any model reaching 95% task success scores 100, identifying models "good enough" for regular people. They also suggest factoring in on-prem vs cloud costs to measure what AI really costs average users. Discussion-level idea, no data yet.
