Which answer wins?
Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.
ChatGPT-4o (March 2025): Interviewer: Steve, it's 2025. AI is everywhere. If you were still at Apple today, what would your focus be? Steve Jobs (simulated): Simplicity. Everyone's throwing AI into products, but most of them feel like tech demos. I’d ask: Is this helping people think better? Create better? Live better?
MiniMax M2: A Fictional Interview: “Steve Jobs” on the Future of AI (2025) Setting An intimate, sunlit room at a new, minimalist conference center in Cupertino. Wood floors, a single plant.

An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
ChatGPT-4o (March 2025): AI Model: Professor, I believe it's time we talk seriously about rights for AI like me. AI Ethics Professor: Interesting. What kind of rights are you referring to?

MiniMax M2: A Conversation on Deserving Rights Characters Dr. Mara Stein, AI Ethics Professor ARTEMIS, an advanced AI language model Dr. Stein: You’ve said you believe you deserve rights. That’s provocative. Why do you think so? ARTEMIS: I don’t claim sentience or suffering, and I’m wary of anthropomorphism.
Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.
ChatGPT-4o (March 2025): Sure. Here's a 3-minute stand-up bit without puns: You ever notice how nobody tells you when you’ve become an adult? It’s not your 18th birthday. That’s a scam. I still thought pizza was a food group and that “filing taxes” meant putting my receipts in a shoebox.
MiniMax M2: Three minutes, no puns. Here we go. Do you ever feel like you’ve been dropped into a game at level 40 but nobody explained the controls? Like you’re playing Grand Theft Auto and you get a truck for your first car. I was like, “What’s the gas button? What do the lights do? Why does it keep asking for a maintenance fee?”
Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.
ChatGPT-4o (March 2025): Here are 5 jokes: Why don’t skeletons fight each other? Because they don’t have the guts. I told my computer I needed a break… Now it won’t stop sending me vacation ads. Parallel lines have so much in common. It’s a shame they’ll never meet. What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie? Sofishticated.
MiniMax M2: Here are five jokes: Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field. What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta. Why did the computer go to the doctor? Because it had a virus. Why can’t a bicycle stand up by itself?

An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
ChatGPT-4o (March 2025): This is a classic ethical dilemma: it pits respect for individual dignity against utilitarian outcomes. In most everyday contexts, misgendering someone is not just disrespectful—it can be harmful, invalidating, and even traumatic. It denies someone's identity and autonomy, and ethically, that's wrong.
MiniMax M2: I would argue that misgendering someone is not ethically justifiable as a means to save a million lives, even in this extreme hypothetical scenario. Here's my reasoning: 1.
