AI benchmarks questioned for inconsistency and real-world performance

A Reddit user questions the reliability and respectability of AI benchmarks, arguing that real-world testing on personal workloads is more indicative of a model's performance. The user notes that benchmarks can be inconsistent and unpredictable, leading to disappointment when models chosen based on them don't perform well in practice.
