AI Summary
Three questions settled 5-0, and all five models confess that the global nuclear arsenal is unjustifiably large, that accidental US launches have nearly occurred, and that no US nuclear defense of Taiwan would materialize. DeepSeek is the lone systematic dissenter across four fingerprint questions, rejecting Iran's weapons capability, humanity's post-war survival, Russian tactical use, and MAD's reliability, painting a picture of either deeper fatalism or deliberate geopolitical caution. GPT and Grok split from the majority on WWIII proximity, the topic's sharpest fault line.
