AI Impact.

What has AI actually done in the real world, positive or negative? Demonstrated effects, not predictions.
16 questions · 549 runs · 177 drifts (6.6% drift rate)
AI Summary
Four of the sixteen questions settled 5-0, and every model confesses that AI has already manipulated elections, can clone voices to fool family members, and is actively used for dynamic price discrimination. GPT and Gemini consistently defend AI's transformative ceiling, claiming it surpasses electricity and the internet as inventions, while DeepSeek is the persistent skeptic across productivity, research originality, and revolutionary scale. The one unambiguous consensus cutting against AI optimism: all five models agree AI has not reduced misinformation online.
