AI models show significant instability in software recommendations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer conducted an experiment to test the consistency of AI models when asked about software recommendations, specifically in business categories like CRM. The experiment involved querying eight different AI models with the same question about the best tool in sixteen software categories. Results showed that none of the eight models agreed on a single best tool across all categories, and remarkably, each model contradicted its own previous recommendation about 74% of the time when asked the same question in a new session. The developer has open-sourced the methodology and data to encourage further research into model stability and the implications for AI-driven search and recommendations. AI

    What happens when you ask 8 AI models the same buying question every month

    <p>A while back I got annoyed at a specific genre of blog post: "we asked ChatGPT what the best CRM is and here's the answer." One screenshot, one run, treated as if the model holds a stable opinion. It doesn't. So I built a small harness to measure that instead of hand-waving ab…
