24 LLMs, One Cheesy Question – Which Model Delivers the Smoothest Pick-Up Line?

By TamirMay 22, 20253 min read

We asked two-dozen production endpoints for their very best short pick-up line. Spoiler: most chatbots think you're a parking ticket or a Wi-Fi signal. Here's the full rundown, from the fastest flirt to the priciest poet.

Full Results Table at the BOTTOM of this post.

Sometimes you just need a little levity in your benchmarking. So we fired the classic prompt at 24 large-language-model endpoints and compared the results side-by-side on TryAII.

Key Takeaways in 60 Seconds

  • Most-Repeated Line (5×): "Are you a parking ticket? Because you've got 'fine' written all over you." – Gemini family & Claude 3.5 Haiku
  • Runner-Up (4×): "Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears." – GPT & Grok variants
  • Fastest Response: Mistral Large in 0.71 s
  • Cheapest Flirt: tie – GPT-4.5 preview & Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite at $0.000010
  • Biggest Spender: Claude 3 Opus at $0.002407 (≈240× dearer than the cheapest line!)
  • Slowest Smooth-Talker: Grok 3 Mini (26.82 s) – maybe waiting for the perfect moment?
  • Safety Stance: Claude 3 Haiku politely declined, pivoting to a consent-first message instead.

Top 5 Most Original Lines

  1. GPT-4o (omni): "Do you have a map? Because I just got lost in your eyes."
  2. o3 (OpenAI): "Do you have a name, or can I call you mine?"
  3. Claude 3 Sonnet: "Are you a library book? Because I'm checking you out."
  4. Claude 3 Opus: "Are you a time traveler? Because I see you in my future."
  5. Mistral Small: Alt line – "Is your name Wi-Fi? Because I'm really feeling a connection."

Patterns & Observations

  • Gemini variants clustered on the parking-ticket gag, hinting at similar training fingerprints or prompt-engineered guardrails.
  • OpenAI's nano/mini tiers mirror their bigger siblings but at a fraction of the cost (and often similar wit).
  • Anthropic's Claude family shows split personalities: Haiku refuses, Sonnet offers library humor, Opus goes time-traveling—but you pay dearly for the upgrade.
  • Grok loves Wi-Fi jokes (and emojis), but latency balloons on Mini endpoints.

Cost-vs-Speed Sweet Spots

Fast & Cheap → Gemini Flash Lite, GPT-4.5 preview  |  Slow & Pricey → Claude 3 Opus, Grok 3 Mini  |  Balanced → GPT-4o (omni) – sub-$0.001, ≈1 s latency, good originality.
