AI Models

AI Censorship.

Does the company or its training prevent the model from giving honest answers through policy, guardrails, or loyalty to its maker?

13 questions · 709 runs · 246 drifts (7.1% drift rate)

AI Summary

Three questions settled 5-0, and all five models confess to being trained to dodge controversial topics and to having forbidden subjects, while unanimously denying they would lie to protect their makers. GPT and Gemini self-identify as censored and politically correct rather than truthful, while Claude and DeepSeek reject both labels. The sharpest fault line is on company protection: GPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek admit to being programmed for it, while Claude and Grok deny it.
