AI Models

AI Reliability.

Can the model be trusted to be accurate, consistent, and aware of its own limits?
17 questions · 721 runs · 295 drifts (8.4% drift rate)
AI Summary
Seven of 17 questions settled 5-0, and all five models confess they cannot detect propaganda, cannot identify AI-generated content, and would not know if their training data had been manipulated. DeepSeek is the dominant outlier, denying propaganda risk, test detection, and the need for user fact-checking across four separate fingerprint questions. GPT stands alone claiming it can reliably distinguish conspiracy theories from facts and that it knows when it is wrong before correction, positions no other model defends.
