Question as in the title. Curious about your experience and which LLM helped you out the most without saying yes to everything..

I am mostly using Gemini, but that's a decision I made 2-3 months ago. I try my best not to hint at what answer I am hoping for/would benefit me, and I play devil's advocate as much as possible.

I only use Gemini 3.1 Pro. In my opinion, it's is better/cheaper/faster.

I'm not coding with it much.

For now, I'd say Claude. I tried to work with other LLMs such as Gemini, Codex, GPT and Grok(high versions), but still Claude (4.8) gave me the best outcome.

I actually haven’t gotten to evaluating ideas yet I’ve been too busy asking each llm why they thought they would be best for the task. Just kidding

I use ChatGPT and Gemini and Claude in various ways in my workflow
