We All Have a "Serious Work" AI and a "Just Vibing" AI. When Did That Happen?

Dhruv Jani on September 22, 2026

Hi Guys!!! As you know I wasn't good for well, a week and Now..... Let's Dive In!!! I never consciously decided which AI gets which job. Somehow...

Okay, now I’m genuinely curious πŸ˜‚

I clearly have a whole AI hierarchy that I never consciously created.

Do you have one too?
Which AI gets the serious work, which one gets the dumb little questions, and which one do you trust for one oddly specific thing for absolutely no logical reason? πŸ‘€

I just bounce around different AI models if anything. I don't really have a specific one that is task on a specific thing. It's more of using it as a good search tool more than writing code since it's very useful of finding information on what I need.

I tend not to use it as much of relying on the AI to do coding because it removes my ability to think critically whenever I am solving a problem. A good methodology is not having to do too much and too little of anything.

Picked as gem

Yeah yeah cool. Neither do we since you know start of campus placement season, we don't use AI for coding but you know we do it for hacks as students, cause there the goal is to be generally good.

But thanks for the detailed write-up. But Sir, I'd like to know where do you get this great gifs and images from? Just CuriousπŸ˜…

No problem! For the images/Gifs, I just search them on the internet (Google specifically). Nothing really fancy though :)

I think you really missed one big LLM i.e the real, natural human brain😁

Unfortunately, the folks who are heavily using or leveraging AI tools are outsourcing their thinking and some even forget they are alive 🀣

TBH I'm no longer surprised from this

Recently saw someone online explaining that they created an ai in their brain so when they aren't in situation to open an ai platform, they ask to ai in brain, what to do? And I'm like bro? Did you just learn to think?🀣

HA HA. talk about post, not unnecessary stuff! But that's good cause we all default back to chatgpt just cause its fast.

Well for exam notes. Not for hackathon stuff, who uses antigravity there huh?πŸ˜‚

I relate to this so much. I definitely have a β€œserious work” AI and a β€œjust vibing” AI without ever consciously deciding to set it up that way.

Claude Opus is usually my serious work model, especially when I’m planning something complicated, debugging a weird issue, or working on something where I really care about the reasoning and details. Then I use Antigravity with Gemini 3.8 Flash for smaller changes, experiments, quick ideas, or when I’m basically just poking at something to see what happens.

I also use Codex with GPT-5.6 Sol for some oddly specific things, especially documentation and little repetitive fixes that come up often. Codex has the best memory for that kind of stuff in my experience, so if I run into the same issue again, I can usually just ask it to fix it and it already knows exactly what I mean. That makes it ridiculously useful for those recurring tasks.

And I think you nailed the reason why this happens. It’s not always about which model is technically β€œbest.” You start learning which one you trust for certain kinds of work, which one is fast enough, which one has enough usage available, and honestly which one annoys you the least for a particular task.

At some point you realize you’ve accidentally become your own AI router.
