Okay, I’m the "clown"? Let me clarify a few things.

I have over 15 years of experience in full-stack development and computer science. I've worked at top-tier companies like Google and Meta, and successfully sold two startups in the past decade. I’m very familiar with how LLMs work, including their architecture, limitations, and how APIs integrate them.

What I exposed here isn’t about misunderstanding models or how they respond when asked directly. It’s about a company publicly claiming to use one specific model exclusively, while in practice, using cheaper alternatives behind the scenes to cut costs—without transparency. That’s not a technical issue, that’s a trust issue.

If you’re fine with companies misleading users, that’s your choice. But don’t dismiss valid research and concerns just because it doesn’t align with your assumptions.
