Three AIs raced to catalog 999+ Shopify themes; only the AI finished

Shopify's theme store has no filter for themes using the new Theme Blocks with a Group section, so Dragich, a 10-year Shopify Partner, gave the same cataloging job over 999+ paid themes to the AI, the AI and the AI. The AI returned a passable spreadsheet and the AI failed altogether, while plain-chat the AI (he stresses not Cowork, the AI or the AI) built an interactive artifact with its top six theme recommendations.

How it works

  1. Give the same theme-cataloging task to the AI, the AI and the AI
  2. The AI returns a spreadsheet artifact
  3. The AI fails to complete it
  4. The AI returns an interactive artifact with top-6 recommendations

Why it’s worth knowing

The same cataloging job made the AI quit and the AI hand back a spreadsheet, while plain the AI chat, with no coding tools, shipped an interactive shortlist.
