With o1 I had a hairy mathematical problem recently related to video transcoding. I explained my flawed reasoning to o1, and it was kind of funny in that it took roughly the same amount of time to figure out the flaw in my reasoning, but it did, and it also provided detailed reasoning with correct math to correct me. Something like Llama 8b would've been worse than useless. I ran the same prompt by ChatGPT and Gemini, and both gave me sycophantic confirmation of my flawed reasoning.

> When you don't need correct output (such as when writing a blog post, there's no right/wrong answer), "best" can be subjective.

This is like, everything that is wrong with the Internet in a single sentence. If you are writing a blog post, please write the best blog post you can, if you don't have a strong opinion on "best," don't write.
