It's pretty much trial and error.

I tried using ChatGPT via the webchat interface on Sunday and it was so terse and to the point that it was basically useless. I had to repeatedly prompt for all the hidden details that I basically gave up and used a different webchat LLM (I regularly switch between ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Gemini).

When I used it a month ago, it would point out potential footguns, flaws, etc. I suppose it just reinforces the point that "experience" gained using LLMs is mostly pointless, your experience gets invalidated the minute a model changes, or a system prompt changes, etc.

For most purposes, they are all mostly the same i.e. produce output so similar you won't notice a difference.
