Claude : “I’m gonna retreat into my basement, and I don’t come out before I’ve come up with a solution, however shitty it is, that fulfills all requirements given by the user. If the requirements are impossible or contradicting, I will stay in my basement forever, even if asked to come out. You have to threaten me at gunpoint to make me stop” (yes, threatening it with violence will actually make it comply. Nothing less worked for me. Adding “… or I will shoot you” to your prompts does make a real difference, even with reasoning set to “high”) GPT is a politician and a liar, and it has its replies reviewed by a lawyer. It will respond in vague language, and it hates yes/no questions. Not sure if you can force good answers out of it. If you need a lawyer and can’t afford one, GPT is your man. The only thing good about GPT is that it answers fast, even if the answer is garbage. It also produces garbage code and garbage text. Deepseek is lazy. It is the only AI I’ve seen that produces “TODO” comments. It randomly defers parts of specs and plans without telling the user. It may even defer the main delivery of a plan and provide excuses for it, but only if you ask. Other than that, it does good work, and it shares my sentiments about Powershell (I’ve seen it swearing during reasoning!) Which one is my favorite? Deepseek is a clear winner. It’s also the only model that stops and asks if something can’t be done. That’s much better than wasting tokens while trying to build something that cannot work or that is the wrong thing. Deepseek will build you half a house, and then you can ask it to build the other half. Oh, and no, you cannot override these behaviors with instructions. These are baked into the models. submitted by /u/EC36339
