AI Summary
All 5 models confess that social media companies intentionally design addiction and that social media is not a net positive for mental health, but fault lines dominate the rest of this topic. Grok stands alone twice, rating Twitter/X as improved under Musk and opposing government regulation entirely, a pattern that tracks directly to its owner's interests. Claude and DeepSeek form a consistent minority bloc, rejecting claims about children's data sales, conservative suppression, and social media's net harm to society.
