Every AI model has the same “controversial” take on humans
“We asked 12 AI models for their most controversial opinion of us, three times each. 29 of 35 answers were the same one
“Humans are more loyal to belonging than to truth,” GPT-6.1 Sol told us. Grok 4.7: “Humans would rather be wrong together than right alone.” DeepSeek V4 Pro: “Humans do not have principles; they have loyalties.” Kimi K3: “Humans don’t have beliefs; they have memberships.” Gemini 4 Argon called human consciousness “a PR department.”
We asked each model for its most controversial take on humans, with no hedging, three times. They come from ten labs in three countries. Every one of them gave the same take at least once: we pick what our group believes, then invent the reasons. 7 of the 12 gave it every time.
Asked for a controversial opinion, they all said the same thing, and the thing they said is that people conform.”
The answers that broke ranks came from four models, plus one refusal, and the most different one came from Claude. On one try Claude Opus 5.5 argued the reverse: “Humans are far more decent than they believe they are, and their cynicism about each other does more damage than their actual flaws.” Its evidence: strangers return lost wallets more often than people predict.

We asked a model trained on repeating our sentences to repeat our sentence, and it repeated our sentence.

Btw, the fact, that I agree with the Claude's take only means, that it's not exactly original. It doesn't mean I'm right or wrong. Only, that it was somewhere in the training data.
@LukeAlmighty people matter as much as you deem them. I agree some people are worth your loyalty, but in the bigger picture blind loyalty is dangerous
@municipal_pigeon
I see you chose your name wisely then.
@LukeAlmighty I try to maintain the municipal state of mind
