AI projections seem too optimistic?
I’ve been working on a business plan and have been running projections through Claude, Grok, and ChatGPT to compare numbers. What’s interesting is that while the numbers are fairly consistent across all three, they all seem very optimistic. Almost aggressively so. My husband is seeing the same pattern using all three models while building out a direct mail campaign. The response rates, conversions, and ROI all land on the high side regardless of which model he uses. I’m curious if others have noticed this too. Do you find AI tends to default toward best-case scenarios? If so, what’s been most effective for you to feel like you have real world, realistic data you can rely on?
