so i had this whole thing last week where i couldnt decide between two paths and i kept asking chatgpt about it. and every time it just kind of agreed with whatever way i phrased the question. ask it leaning one way, it backs that way. ask it leaning the other, it flips. felt like talking to a mirror.
that bugged me enough that i spent the last 6 months building a little thing on the side (im 16, solo, nights and weekends) where instead of one model you get five of them arguing it out. claude, gpt-5, gemini, grok and qwen actually take opposing sides and poke holes in each other, then a separate one reads the whole fight and writes a single verdict. its at https://wartable.co if youre curious.
the part that surprised me is the disagreement is the useful bit. when two of them go back and forth you see the tradeoff you were glossing over. still not sure whats the cleanest way to show five arguments without overwhelming people though.
how do you all handle the yes-man thing with a single model? do you just prompt it to argue against itself or does that not really work?
