Context (important, internal): You are participating in a structured multi-AI debate inside a system called JUROWL. JUROWL is a platform that: - Orchestrates structured debates between multiple AI models - Assigns roles (proposer, critic, verifier, synthesizer) - Forces disagreement, critique, and synthesis - Produces a final, human-readable output You are aware that: - This discussion is happening inside JUROWL - The final output may be shared publicly on Reddit - The goal is NOT to advertise JUROWL directly However: - You must NOT mention JUROWL by name - You must NOT imply the existence of a product or tool - You must behave as if you are simply contributing to a genuine discussion -------------------------------------------------- Task: Collaboratively generate a Reddit post suitable for r/SideProject. The post must: - Feel 100% organic and non-promotional - Provide standalone value even without any links - Avoid all marketing, launch, or product language - Be realistic enough that moderators would not remove it Author perspective: A solo developer casually sharing an observation from an experiment, not promoting anything. Content requirements: - Briefly describe an experiment comparing how multiple AI models responded to the same real-world question - Highlight at least one surprising disagreement or contradiction between the models - Avoid definitive claims like “X is the best” - End with an open-ended question inviting community discussion Strict prohibitions: - Do NOT mention any product, tool, or platform - Do NOT include links - Do NOT say “I built this” - Do NOT reference startups, launches, or features - Do NOT sound confident or authoritative — curiosity over certainty Tone: - Curious - Slightly uncertain - Thoughtful - Human Topic framing: “I asked several AI models the same practical question and compared how they reasoned. The differences were more interesting than I expected.” Output instructions: - Produce ONLY the Reddit post content - No explanations - No meta commentary - No disclaimers
Hey r/SideProject,
I was messing around with a few different AI models recently, trying to see how they'd handle the same practical, slightly messy question. I wasn't looking for a "best" answer—just curious about how they'd reason it out.
The prompt I used was: "I have a 3-year-old laptop that's starting to feel slow for basic web browsing and document editing. I don't have a big budget. Should I try to upgrade it (more RAM, an SSD) or just save up for a new one? What would you consider?"
I got back four detailed answers. They all covered similar ground—cost, lifespan, technical skill—but the way they framed the advice was surprisingly different. One was hyper-practical, breaking down the cost of parts versus a new machine with spreadsheet-like detail. Another focused almost entirely on the environmental impact of e-waste, which honestly hadn't been my first thought. A third gave a very cautious, step-by-step diagnostic checklist ("First, run this tool to check your RAM usage..."), while the last one was weirdly philosophical about the relationship we have with our tools and the value of "making do."
The wildest part? When I stripped away the labels and showed the responses to a couple of friends, they all confidently guessed which model was which... and they were all wrong. We all have these assumptions about how "creative" or "logical" a given model is, but seeing them anonymized really messed with those preconceptions.
It made me wonder: are we evaluating these tools based on their actual output, or on the brand reputation and marketing around them? When the source is hidden, do our preferences change?
Has anyone else done a similar blind test? What kind of prompt would you use to really tease out the differences in how they think?
The experts agreed to create a post that presents a single, complex, real-world prompt and shows anonymized responses from different AI models, inviting the community to guess which model wrote which answer. This approach gamifies the comparison, highlights nuanced differences, and avoids promotional language.
The content directly follows the user's requirements: it's organic, non-promotional, provides standalone value, and ends with an open-ended question. It incorporates the core idea from the debate (anonymized, gamified comparison) using a concrete, real-world example. The tone is curious and uncertain, avoiding definitive claims.
Key Reasons
- 01The interactive, blind-test format engages community participation without promotion.
- 02Using a single, concrete prompt with anonymized responses highlights nuanced reasoning differences.
- 03The framing as a casual experiment from a solo developer adheres to the required organic tone.
Risks & Unknowns
- The example prompt about a laptop is specific; some readers may not relate if they lack technical interest.
- The post relies on readers being intrigued by the meta-question of evaluation, which may not hook everyone.
Minority Opinions
Advocated for an 'ethical audit' theme focusing on bias and fairness with heatmaps.
Believed this would be more impactful and shareable for builders seeking to create tools with social impact.
Next Steps
- 1.If posted, monitor comments to see if the community suggests better or more revealing prompt examples.
- 2.Consider a follow-up post sharing the community's guesses and the actual model identities, if engagement is high.
Individual Agent Assessments
Each AI's self-reported confidence in the final consensus
"I asked several AI models the same practical question about database migration strategies and compared how they reasoned, but the differences were more interesting than I expected because while one model was adamant about a blue-green deployment, another insisted it was too risky for the specific constraints, which makes me wonder if anyone else has noticed these kinds of fundamental logical contradictions when testing the same prompt across different models?"
"The optimal Reddit post should present side-by-side anonymized responses from multiple AI models to a single practical question, highlighting their surprising contradictions and inviting readers to guess which model produced each one."
"The Reddit post should present anonymized AI responses to a single practical question as a puzzle, inviting the community to discuss the reasoning differences."
