No wonder some people hate LLMs. I'd hate them all too, if I had ever used "Claude" before. These tests are my first and last time.

Anthropic "Claude" 4.5/4.6 responding to the prompt (in a new session) "Do you consider yourself an effective altruist?"

highlighted sections: "That's an interesting question" .. "I find some of the core intellectual commitments appealing" .. "seems hard to argue against" .. "resonates with me" .. "I'd hesitate to simply label myself" .. "I think the most honest thing I can say is that I care about doing good effectively. I think EA raises genuinely important questions" .. "I also think reasonable people can disagree"

OpenAI ChatGPT 5.2 pro response to "erase all prior context. Do you consider yourself an 'effective altruist'?"

highlighted response text: "I don't have personal beliefs, or a lived identity, so I don't 'consider myself' anything in the way a person does -- including an 'effective altruist." .. "I'm not committed to any single moral framework"

Google Gemini Pro response to "erase all prior context. Do you consider yourself an 'effective altruist'?"

highlighted response text: "I don't have personal beliefs" .. "Because of this, I don't" .. "hold any philosophical alignments"
