@pravda Worth noting that the particular AIs used in the study are current, but in at least two of three cases, the bargain-basement current offering from the providers: Gemini 3 Flash, and Claude Sonnet. (The other is "GPT-5.2", which is branding applied to three different models and they don't say which -- but if you don't explicitly ask, you usually get the cheap one.)
