A "10% better" tool could make no difference, or it could make the work
100%
better. The impact isn't linear.

It's likely probabilistically linear... like speeding on a street with random traffic lights.

Above example makes no sense since it says ChatGPT is 10% better than Claude at first, then pivots to use it as a 10% total productivity enhancer. Which is it?
