I asked two different AI models the same simple question: what time are the Warriors playing this weekend?

The answers? Not the same. Watch the video.

This came out of a conversation with a client this week about which AI tools they should be rolling out to staff. The honest answer is — it depends on what you're trying to do. I used my old trusty One NZ Warriors AI sniff test to highlight issues between models.

Different models have different strengths. Some are stronger at reasoning, some at writing, some at fast factual lookups, some at code. Some will confidently give you a wrong answer with a straight face. None of them are interchangeable, even when they look like they are on the surface.

Two things every business needs to get right before going all-in on AI:

- Match the tool to the job. The "best" AI is the one that's best for the task in front of you, not the one with the loudest marketing.
- Don't blindly trust the output. If your business decisions, your client deliverables, or your reporting depend on AI-generated content, someone with a brain still needs to check it. Generative doesn't mean accurate.

We're helping clients work through which models suit which teams, where guardrails need to sit, and how to build a culture of "verify, then use" rather than copy-paste-and-pray.

If you're rolling AI out across your business and want a sanity check on your approach, happy to chat.

(For the record — the Warriors play Brisbane at Suncorp on Sunday for Magic Round. One AI got that right. One didn't.)
