What would Michael do? my response based on many inquiries.

WHAT LLM IS BEST? WHAT DOES MICHAEL USE? WHAT IS MICHAEL's STACKING TECHNIQUE?

ME? If was forced to choose 1, it would be Claude Max at $100 / month. You get more robust access to the top tier models and much greater usage limits. It's alot of money, yes. But so is a cup of coffee. So I don't buy starbucks anymore, and skip dinner out and make food at home instead. I actually come out ahead in productivity which directly impacts financial gain. (the $20 / mo Claude is amazing, dont stress if ya cant swing the hundo).

But there's more to "what would Michael do". I take my life and my business seriously, it's ME after all, lol. So I will get multiple opinions (AI consultations) I Stack prompts and i stack their output. I do it manually, but if you want the easier way, here are several options to consider.

Take all prompts. Paste them into a notepad. Save it. It is now a .txt (text) file that LLM's like.
attach these .txt files to a chat, and ask the LLM to combine the best of each prompt and generate a master prompt.
Take all the outputs you recieved from the prompts using same tecnique, save, attach, ask.
take both the prompts and outputs, attach to a new chat, and ask again for a analysis and recommendation.

I THINK YA'LL GET THE POINT OF STACKING NOW!

So to answer this persistant question, If it's a life altering or business altering query, I run my prompts....the same exact prompt, through Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. ALL 4 OF THEM. Then I print them. Then I sit down with a sharpie and highlighter. Then I stack the various output's and consolidate the best part of each opinion. Once I have the perfect blueprint, I further analyze it with proprietary prompts that further enhance, improve or correct. That's the just of it. But I am a pretty intense researcher, as most people are when it comes to their own life and business.

I also run prompts in different ways. Each LLM has multiple options. For Example:

In ChatGPT you can choose Normal Mode, Deep Research Mode, or Agent Mode
In Claude, you can choose a style, Extended Thinking mode, and Research mode, or combine all 3.

I may run a prompt for something that is important to me 10 different ways using all the models with multiple queries using multiple settings. It's my life, my business, I'm not taking 1 doctors opinion if he wants to do something to me life-altering. I will get multiple oppinions before going under the knife!
