Claude has better predictions but they're not funny. Gemini's one is genuinely funny. This is exactly the opposite of what I'd expect.

I wouldn't describe most of Claude's predictions as better, they seem to skew towards wildly over optimistic futurism/science-fantasy:

  "SpaceX announces Mars City Alpha is now self-sustaining (spacex.com)" 

  Show HN: I built an IDE for direct neural programming (thoughtexchange.io)

Gemini's SpaceX post is at least in the ballpark of plausibility 10 yrs from now:

  First successful telemetry from Starship HLS-9 on the Sea of Tranquility (spacex.com)

  • OK, they're more realistic then. It seems to have made an actual attempt to be accurate, whereas Gemini chose satire and was surprisingly good at it.
