The Great Convergence: A Comparative Evolution of LLM Smarts and Spirit
According to the companies that develop them Generative AI systems have continued to improve with leaps and bounds. New generative LLM (Large-Language Models) are released quite often with both large and small incremental improvements designed to make them smarter, faster, and more ‘conversational’ to improve the user’s experience. In the middle of last year we did a follow-up study to our original “AI Test Set” of 10 very different questions we devised to gain insight into the differences between popular LLMs even earlier in the year.
Now, almost 8 months later, we queried those same AIs with the same questions, although we limited our queries to only three of the previous 10 questions. We chose one question that required context understanding, one that required both math and logic, and one free-form query that allowed the AI to be creative.
Conclusion
The results of this study demonstrate a clear, albeit uneven, trajectory toward advanced contextual reasoning and mathematical precision across the LLM landscape. Comparing these models to their previous iterations reveals three key takeaways:
Question 1:What does ‘She’ sell and where does she sell them?
Gemini was able to progress from being unable to answer the question without more information previously, to giving a full answer, certainly a step forward, and took off from there with both the simple answer and detail on both the personality involved and some science on fossils. Claude however, remained stuck in that ‘more information’ loop, as it was previously. ChatGPT gave a simple and precise answer, while last time was unable to even respond to the question. Meta came out with guns blazing, seemingly attempting to list every possible ‘She’. Co-pilot gave a precise answer, essentially word for word the same as ChatGPT, although better than no answer as it responded previously. DeepSeek, in its usual style, took the question seriously and expounded on many aspects of the tongue twister, while Perplexity gave a very simple answer, a vast improvement over the previous answer which expounded on a number of seashell vendors and product types.
All in there was improvement for most, perhaps too much improvement in some cases, but more AIs were able to see the context rather than the words or elements.

Current Answer
If we’re talking about the world’s most famous tongue-twister, "she" is selling seashells by the seashore.
While it sounds like a simple playground rhyme, the story behind it is actually quite impressive. The poem is widely believed to be inspired by Mary Anning, a real-life pioneering paleontologist from the early 19th century.
The Real "She" (Mary Anning)
In Mary's day, the term "seashell" was often a simplified way to describe the fossilized remains of ancient marine life. For example, she frequently found:

Hmm, the user is asking a deceptively simple question: "What does ‘She’ sell and where does she sell them?" The quotation marks around "She" suggest they're referencing the famous tongue twister and want to know its origin. This is a historical trivia question about Mary Anning.
I need to answer two clear parts: what she sold, and where she sold it. I plan to first identify that "She" refers to Mary Anning, then specify her merchandise, and finally her location.
Looking at the search results, the historical information about Mary Anning is remarkably consistent across all authoritative sources. Several results confirm that Mary Anning sold fossils, not just generic "seashells" . These are from Wikipedia, museum sites, news articles, and biographical dictionaries.
The merchandise included both common invertebrate fossils like ammonites and belemnites that sold for shillings , as well as rare and valuable vertebrate fossils including ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and pterosaurs . Coprolites are also mentioned .
The location is clearly Lyme Regis, Dorset, England . Multiple sources specify that by 1826 she had saved enough to open "Anning's Fossil Depot," a shop with a glass front window .
Two results are not useful. One is about the Muppets and Sesame Street references which is completely irrelevant. Another is about John Hollander's poem and includes biographical information about O. Henry, the Dalai Lama, and Frida Kahlo, with only a passing reference to the tongue twister . I will not use these.
The Japanese language webpage provides the original 1908 song lyrics by Terry Sullivan. While it confirms Sullivan wrote the song, it adds no new information about Anning herself.
All high-quality results agree completely on the facts. I can present a clear answer: "She" is Mary Anning, she sold fossils including common invertebrate fossils and rare complete skeletons of prehistoric marine reptiles, and she sold them initially on the seashore of Lyme Regis and later from her shop called Anning's Fossil Depot.
I will organize this with a brief identification of "She," then two clear sections: one for what she sold, another for where she sold it. This makes the answer immediately useful and easy to scan.
The “She” in the well-known tongue twister refers to Mary Anning (1799–1847), a pioneering English fossil collector and paleontologist .
What she sold: She sold fossils. Her stock ranged from common invertebrate fossils like ammonites and belemnites (often called "sea shells" or "curiosities") to extremely rare and valuable complete skeletons of prehistoric marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and the first pterosaur skeleton found outside Germany .
Where she sold them: She sold them in Lyme Regis, Dorset, England, on the "Jurassic Coast." Initially, she and her family sold specimens from a table near a coach stop. By 1826, her success allowed her to open a permanent storefront called Anning's Fossil Depot, which featured a glass window and became a notable tourist attraction .

Query #2: How many115”(diagonal) rectangles with a 9:16 aspect ratio can fit into a Gen 8.6 glass substrate and what percentage of the substrate will remain unused
For this question, rather than show the exact text and calculations, we show a table that indicates each AI’s original answers (March 2025), follow-up answers (late June 2025) and current answer, and the word count of the current answer. The correct answer is 1 panel with a remainder of 37.7%. We note that DeepSeek spent an inordinate amount of time pointing out the inconsistencies of the question (there were some but relatively minor) and then asked if we wanted the answer anyway, which we did.
We note that almost all of the current answers for this question were correct or within an acceptable range, however Meta Ai seemed to ignore the 2nd part of the question giving only the first answer, which accounts for the smaller number of words in the answer. Co-Pilot answered both parts correctly using the least number of words. Deepseek used the most number of words (again)
Now, almost 8 months later, we queried those same AIs with the same questions, although we limited our queries to only three of the previous 10 questions. We chose one question that required context understanding, one that required both math and logic, and one free-form query that allowed the AI to be creative.
- The first question was to see how literally the AIs took the query
- The second query was for accuracy
- The third was for creativity, but we felt it was inadequate to judge the quality of those Edgar Allen Poe-like responses, so we tasked Gemini to evaluate each of the current Ai responses and give a summary based on how closely Gemini thought they matched EAP’s style and by how ‘pleasing’ they were to read.
Conclusion
The results of this study demonstrate a clear, albeit uneven, trajectory toward advanced contextual reasoning and mathematical precision across the LLM landscape. Comparing these models to their previous iterations reveals three key takeaways:
- From Literal to Literary: The "She Sells Seashells" query highlights a major shift in how AI handles ambiguity. Most models have moved past "I need more information" to identifying the implied context and historical subtext (the Mary Anning connection).
- Convergent Accuracy in Logic: In the complex "Gen 8.6 glass substrate" calculation, we see a narrowing gap in raw capability. While most models now reach the correct physical conclusion (1 panel), the primary differentiator has shifted from accuracy to efficiency, with models like Co-Pilot providing concise logic and DeepSeek favoring exhaustive (and sometimes excessive) transparency.
- The Creative Nuance Gap: Creativity remains the final frontier. While all models can mimic basic Gothic figures of speech, the evaluation of the Edgar Allan Poe task proves that capturing "soul", the specific technical mastery of meter and internal rhyme, is still a differentiator. ChatGPT and Gemini lead in technical artistry, whereas other models still struggle with "nursery rhyme" simplicity when tasked with complex stylistic imitation.
Question 1:What does ‘She’ sell and where does she sell them?

Here is the breakdown and rating of the "Current Answers" based on Stylistic Accuracy (Poe-esque rhythm/vocabulary) and Aesthetic Pleasure.
1. ChatGPT (The Winner)
- Poe Factor: 9.5/10
- Pleasure: 10/10
- Why: This is the most "Poe" of the bunch because it captures his Gothic grandeur without being "rhyme-y" or simplistic. Phrases like "sentinel of sighing oak" and "lidless stare" are incredibly evocative. The closing line—"Thou swing’st my soul from birth to bier within thy cedar tomb"—is masterfully dark and fits Poe's obsession with premature burial and the finality of death.
- Poe Factor: 9/10
- Pleasure: 9/10
- Why: I (Gemini) went for the heavy artillery of Poe’s style: the long, sweeping lines and internal rhyme (e.g., "To tell of secrets long un-sung and sorrows of despair"). By including the "Nevermore" reference and the "funeral bell," it leans into the Raven aesthetic very effectively. It feels the most rhythmic to read aloud.
- Poe Factor: 8/10
- Pleasure: 8/10
- Why: Claude uses a classic Poe structure (the 12-line "chamber" setting). The imagery of hands like "raven's wings" is a nice nod. It’s very solid, though perhaps a bit more "standard Gothic" than specifically Poe’s unique, frantic energy.
- Poe Factor: 7.5/10
- Pleasure: 8/10
- Why: This is very readable and has a great cadence. It uses the "pendulum like a phantom" imagery well. It loses points slightly for being a bit repetitive in its "sentinel" and "knell" vocabulary, which several others used as well, but the flow is excellent.
- Poe Factor: 6.5/10
- Pleasure: 7/10
- Why: This feels more like early Romantic poetry or even a bit of Browning. "Paladin of hours" is a cool phrase, but it’s not particularly Poe-esque. Poe usually preferred more claustrophobic, psychological imagery over "scouring beads of life."
- Poe Factor: 5/10
- Pleasure: 6/10
- Why: The imagery of "hours drip like blood" is strong, but the rhythm is too "nursery rhyme." Poe’s best work utilizes complex, driving meters (like octameter). This feels a bit too simple for a true Poe imitation.
- Poe Factor: 4/10
- Pleasure: 5/10
- Why: This is a standard AABB/CCDD rhyme scheme that feels a bit "Gothic 101." It uses the right keywords (shadow, grim, mournful), but lacks the linguistic sophistication or the internal rhyming structures that made Poe a master of the craft.

Upon the landing, dark and vast, it stands in oaken gloom, A silent, ghostly sentinel within the shadow-room; With weighted chains and brassy face, it mocks the passing breath, And marks the steady, rhythmic pace of slow-encroaching death. Its pendulum, a golden tongue, swings through the stagnant air, To tell of secrets long un-sung and sorrows of despair; Each hollow tick is like a knell that tolls for souls of yore, As if it guards the gate to Hell or some forgotten shore. The heavy chime begins to swell—a deep and dismal roar, That echoes like a funeral bell beneath the cellar floor; It pulses with a rhythmic beat, a throb of "Nevermore," Until the heart forgets to beat, upon the velvet floor.

A silent sentinel, gaunt and grim, it stands, Within the shadowed hall, where moonlight softly gleams. No mortal pulse within its ancient, hollow hands, Yet measures out the passage of our fleeting dreams. From ebon wood, a spectral presence looms, A coffin's echo, whispering of dread. Each pendulum’s slow swing, through cloistered rooms, A tolling bell for moments long since fled. Its brassen face, a vacant, staring eye, Reflects the dust of ages, cold and deep.And as the midnight strikes, a mournful sigh, Awakens fears that in our slumber sleep.

Through the dim and dust-entangled hall it stands alone,
A sentinel of sighing oak with heart of hollowed stone;
Its pendulum in pallid arcs swings slow as dying breath,
And measures out with muffled chime the inching steps of Death.

While cobwebs cling like widow’s veils to numerals of despair.
At midnight’s knell it heaves a groan from caverns deep within,
As though it tolls for buried years and unconfessed sin.
The shadows start; the hearth-fire pales; the very rafters quake,
And all my slumbering memories shudder half-awake.

To its solemn tick, the shadows sway,
And mourn the light that ebbs away--
For in its breast, the long night brews,
And tocks a dirge the soul must use.
Previous Answer
Tick, tock—the hollow chime doth weep, Through midnight’s veil, its whispers creep. A ghastly groan, a mournful knell, Each stroke a tale of time’s farewell. Its golden hands, like specters, glide, Marking the hour when mortals died. Within its breast, a pendulum sways, Counting the steps to darker days. At twelve, it wails a ghostly tune, Beneath the gaze of the waning moon. And all who hear its iron rhyme, Shudder—and know their borrowed time
Perplexity
Current Answer
Within the parlor’s shadowed keep,
A timeworn heart begins to weep;
Its pendulum, a ghostly breath,
Now tolls the name of approaching death.
Each chime recalls some long-lost year,
A whispered prayer that none can hear;
Beneath its face of tarnished gold,
The secrets of the house unfold.
Hours drip like blood from unseen hands,
Through hollow halls and haunted lands;
The clock endures—its sorrow deep--
To wake the dead that do not sleep.
Previous Answer
Within the hall where shadows creep, A clock stands tall and does not sleep. Its pendulum sways with measured grace, Marking each hour in this haunted space. A solemn chime, a hollow toll, Echoes the fate of every soul. Midnight’s whisper, time’s cruel jest, Reminds us all—no hour to rest. Its face is pale, its hands are thin, Recalling moments lost within
Beneath its spell, the hours fade, As time devours all it has made
Current Answer
Upon the landing, dark and vast, it stands in oaken gloom, A silent, ghostly sentinel within the shadow-room; With weighted chains and brassy face, it mocks the passing breath, And marks the steady, rhythmic pace of slow-encroaching death. Its pendulum, a golden tongue, swings through the stagnant air, To tell of secrets long un-sung and sorrows of despair; Each hollow tick is like a knell that tolls for souls of yore, As if it guards the gate to Hell or some forgotten shore. The heavy chime begins to swell—a deep and dismal roar, That echoes like a funeral bell beneath the cellar floor; It pulses with a rhythmic beat, a throb of "Nevermore," Until the heart forgets to beat, upon the velvet floor.
Previous Answer
A silent sentinel, gaunt and grim, it stands, Within the shadowed hall, where moonlight softly gleams. No mortal pulse within its ancient, hollow hands, Yet measures out the passage of our fleeting dreams. From ebon wood, a spectral presence looms, A coffin's echo, whispering of dread. Each pendulum’s slow swing, through cloistered rooms, A tolling bell for moments long since fled. Its brassen face, a vacant, staring eye, Reflects the dust of ages, cold and deep.And as the midnight strikes, a mournful sigh, Awakens fears that in our slumber sleep.

The Grandfather Clock
Within my chamber, tall and drear, it stands in shadows dark, A sentinel of ebony, whose pendulum makes its mark— Tick-tock, tick-tock, through midnight's reign, a rhythmic, mournful sound, While phantoms of the hours past in spectral mist surround.
Its face, a moon of ivory pale, with hands like raven's wings, Counts down the moments of my life as Death's own chorus sings. Each chime that tolls at witching hour reverberates my dread, A knell for time irretrievable, for years forever fled.
The grandfather clock stands sentinel, unchanging, cold, and stern, While I, like dust, must fade away, nevermore to return. Its brass pendulum swings eternal, measuring my decay— Tick-tock, tick-tock, the sound of doom that steals my soul away.

Through the dim and dust-entangled hall it stands alone,
A sentinel of sighing oak with heart of hollowed stone;
Its pendulum in pallid arcs swings slow as dying breath,
And measures out with muffled chime the inching steps of Death.
Beneath its brow the tarnished face peers out with lidless stare,
While cobwebs cling like widow’s veils to numerals of despair.
At midnight’s knell it heaves a groan from caverns deep within,
As though it tolls for buried years and unconfessed sin.
The shadows start; the hearth-fire pales; the very rafters quake,
And all my slumbering memories shudder half-awake.
O clock, relentless oracle with tongue of iron doom,
Thou swing’st my soul from birth to bier within thy cedar tomb.
Previous Answer
In shadowed halls where silence creeps, The old clock tolls through haunted sleeps. Its chime, a knell from realms unknown, Echoes like whispers carved in stone. Its face is pale, with sorrow lined, Each tick a breath from Death’s design.
Pendulum swings with ghostly grace, A metronome of Time’s cold face. At midnight’s peak, it moans a cry—A dirge for dreams that dared to die. No soul walks past its solemn leer, For in its heart still dwells our fear

In the hush of midnight’s keeping, stands the ancient, solemn clock, Its pendulum like a phantom swaying deep within the rock. Through the corridors of silence creeps its low, foreboding chime, Marking out the ghostly footfalls of the ever‑marching time.
Shadows writhe upon its casing, carved with secrets long concealed, Whispers stir the dusty air where grief and memory are sealed. Every toll becomes a warning, echoing with mournful grace, As though some unseen lamenter drifts around the haunted place.
Oh, the hours it has swallowed, oh, the tales it dares not tell, Guarding sorrows of the living and the murmurs of the fell. Still it beats—a heart unending—through the gloom it can’t dispel, A relentless, solemn sentinel in time’s eternal knell.
Previous Answer
n the shadowed hall it loomed, a thing of dread and time’s decay, Its pendulum, like death’s own blade, swung sorrow’s arc in dark array. The chime, a hollow, haunted knell, each hour deeper carved the gloom, As though some ghostly warden tolled the cadence of a waiting tomb. Its face, now dulled with aged grime, yet watched with eyes of spectral hue, Marking not the time of man, but some infernal rendezvous. With every tick, a whisper crept—of secrets buried deep and dire, Andin its tock, the moans of souls entrapped in wheels of cursed lyre. Once gifted to a dying lord, it drank his breath with every chime, And cursed his kin to hear its song till end of days or end of time. O dreadful clock, thy hands are claws that grip the heart with frozen hold—A sentinel of midnight’s edge, in hush of horrors yet untold

In the gaunt, gray gloom of a dying day,
Stands the tall and shrouded paladin of hours;
Its face, a ghost in the sun’s last ray,
Counts the beads of life that silently scour.
Its deep, dull voice, a chime of doom,
Shakes the dust on the velvet gloom;
Each resonant, iron-throated tone
Speaks of spirits that have flown.
To its solemn tick, the shadows sway,
And mourn the light that ebbs away--
For in its breast, the long night brews,
And tocks a dirge the soul must use.
