A panel of 5

Everyone talks about AI hallucinations like they’re always a bug. Sometimes they’re actually the feature.

I’ve been using this prompt lately that creates a panel of five people to discuss my business decisions. Steve Jobs, Alex Hormozi, Seth Godin, Brené Brown, Simon Sinek.

Steve Jobs is dead. So obviously nothing he “says” is real. It’s all made up by the AI.

And that’s exactly why it works.

I’m not looking for facts when I use this. I’m looking for perspectives I wouldn’t come up with on my own. When “Seth” challenges if I’m building something actually remarkable or just following what everyone else does, or “Simon” pushes me to explain why my business exists beyond just making money - that’s not truth, it’s more like a mirror.

TL;DR

I ran seven identical prompts (late Sep 2025) across ChatGPT (GPT-5), Microsoft 365 Copilot (Web), and Claude Sonnet 4 to see how they actually behave. ChatGPT and Copilot felt similar in structure, but ChatGPT was the most reliable on “what’s the latest now?” facts (e.g., Docker Desktop), while Copilot produced the most “CTO-ready” briefing—and was blocked exactly once by its Responsible AI layer on a trivial math question. Claude wrote in a friendlier, more guided style with a nice canvas, but it sometimes drifted on timelines/specs and once missed a table requirement. For workflow, exporting and navigation were clearly smoother in ChatGPT (and Claude), whereas Copilot’s UI (copy state, short title limit, odd rename error) slowed me down. In a bonus “write the post” challenge, both ChatGPT and Claude delivered usable drafts (Claude via an agentic setup), while Copilot fell short due to missing markdown project support.
