Should you switch to the new AI model? A 3-step test with your own work
Summary in three lines
- Usually you do not need to switch. Check scores on work like yours, price, and a test on one of your real tasks.
- When a video result disappointed, switching models barely changed it. Rewriting the task order and criteria made the old model clearly better.
- Testing three models on the same weekly report, the top scorer wrote the nicest but least accurate version. When switching, change one small task first and roll back if needed.
What we learned
- Use one weekly task as an exam and give it to both AIs. Ask each to end with three lines: what went well, what it is unsure of and what info it needs.
- Never switch everything at once. Swap one stable small task so you can roll back fast and know what caused any problem.
FAQ
Can I run this test with no technical skills?
Yes. You copy, paste and compare the results side by side. You are the best judge of which output is closer to what you want.
When is it truly time to switch?
When, with the same instructions and task, the new model stops making a mistake you could never fix. A cured old problem matters more than a high score.
