Honestly, it’s impossible to choose just one because they are fundamentally interdependent in any robust architecture. Quality, ease of use, price, and privacy/safety form a closed loop — if you drop any of them, the whole workflow fails. That said, if forced to pick a master metric, it has to be efficiency (which, for me, means maximum output quality balanced with zero friction and strict safety). Great poll, Enkhtsetseg!
Thank you Tetyana. Efficiency. is a great way to put it - all four working together. I egree.
My question was more about what people look at first when they choose a tool.
Yeah I get you. I think what people look at first is how the AI answers them.
Most people use AI because they don't want to stress themselves. So if the answer looks clean, simple and straight to the point, they will choose that tool.
If it looks complicated or stressful to read, they will leave, even if the tool is powerful.
I voted Quality of results.
For me, quality = no hallucination. An AI tool can be easy to use and cheap, but if it invents facts, invents links, invents code that doesn't work, then it's useless.
Especially for founders building real products, one hallucinated answer can waste days. I would rather pay more for a tool that tells me "I don't know" than a free one that confidently lies.
Thank you, Chinaza. I agree, I worked many years in quality control, and it's the same: a product that looks good but has hidden errors is the most dangerous. I don't know' is better than a confident mistake.
Yeah, No pro
