If you have a ground truth, what was the purpose of asking the AI assistant for an answer in the first place?

When you're writing a test, you usually know the correct answer for that specific combination of input parameters.
Looking back at it, I must have been very tired when I wrote that!

Or maybe I was thinking about cases where the ground truth is difficult to establish.

The cat is dead. The cat is no longer alive. These are equivalent enough, usually, but fails string comparison.
Or like of you did ai voice calling the goal was XYZ did the conversation get, in so many words, to XYZ?
