My argument is that if you were to compare "analyze XYZ geopolitical situation" or "explain the ramifications of XYZ law" from Opus 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5, the difference would be marginal, at least for 4.5 - 5.5. Almost all the crazy capabilities newer models have is from RLVR variants, whereas capabilities driven by RLHF are inching along.

How are the models making politics better? I don't count AI attack ads as an improvement.

Is this a serious question?

Improvement in this context means "better quality results".

You can use better quality models to do worse things with.

I'm not making any claim about second order effects like that.

Yeah it's a serious question. What are the better quality results in politics from AI?
