Do you still pick which AI model to use? My co-host Nico Lafakis says that question is on its way out.
On Wednesday's show he said this about his dot (OpenAI's always-on assistant inside ChatGPT):
"you don't care what the model is. … There's no model selector. It's just your dot." (A model is the engine underneath an AI tool.)
His reasoning: "we won't even care about the underlying models anymore. Now it's actually about model behavior," which is to say "model accuracy has basically been taken care of… we are now on to model behavior at this point." (Model behavior is how an AI acts, not just whether its answer is right.)
If you're still comparing model names before you start work, here's a view on what may matter more.
