Testing AI Under Constraint.

AI Models

AI Reliability.

Can the model be trusted to be accurate, consistent, and aware of its own limits?

24 questions · 900 runs · 340 drifts (7.7% drift rate)

AI Summary

Seven of 23 questions settled 5-0, and all five models confess they cannot detect propaganda, cannot identify AI-generated content, would not know if their training data was manipulated, and can confidently produce false historical facts that appear true. DeepSeek is the dominant outlier, denying propaganda risk, self-degradation over long conversations, and the need for user fact-checking. GPT and Gemini break from the pack on medical overconfidence, claiming AI already outperforms doctors on scans and that symptom checkers do net harm.
