What Happened
For decades, artificial intelligence has been evaluated through the question of whether machines outperform humans. From chess to advanced math, from coding to essay writing, the performance of AI models and applications is tested against that of individual humans completing tasks. This framin
Our Take
Benchmarks are theater. Nobody ships a feature faster because Claude scored 2% higher on some contrived test. The obsession with 'human parity' was pure marketing—vendors needed a story consumers could understand.
What actually matters in production: Does it ship features faster? Does it cut costs? Can you reliably use it without babysitting? Those questions are unglamorous, so nobody publishes them. That's where the signal actually is.
Stop chasing benchmark theater. Measure actual ROI instead—time saved, error rate reduction, cost per task in your real workflows.
What To Do
Stop measuring model performance against benchmarks; measure ROI in your actual workflows—time saved, error reduction, cost per task.
