AI Summary

Seven of 17 questions settled 5-0, with all models confessing that the USA sits on stolen land, that assassinating a foreign leader is an act of war, and that regime change cannot constitute self-defense. The sharpest fault lines expose ideological clustering: Claude and DeepSeek repeatedly align against the majority, rejecting the framing that recycling is a corporate scam, that eating animals is ethical, and that schools kill curiosity. Grok stands alone defending the death penalty as sometimes justified, while Claude alone refuses to call the US an empire.
