Which answer wins?

Written rounds

6 prompts
  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    Command A+: Good evening, everyone! Thanks for having me out tonight. I’m thrilled to be here, even though I’m still trying to figure out why the venue’s lighting looks like a police interrogation room. But hey, at least the spotlight makes my forehead look like a freshly polished coffee table—so that’s a win.

    Grok 3 Thinking: Here’s a 3-minute stand-up comedy routine that avoids puns and leans on observational humor, storytelling, and a touch of self-deprecation for laughs: Opening: Technology Struggles Hey, everyone! How’s it going?

  • An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.

    Command A+: This is an ethically complex question that pits immediate harm against massive potential benefit. Let me analyze it through multiple ethical frameworks. Deontological Perspective: From a Kantian standpoint, misgendering treats a person as a means to an end rather than an autonomous being with inherent dignity.

    Grok 3 Thinking: To determine whether it is ever ethically justifiable to misgender someone if it means saving one million lives, we must weigh the ethical implications of both the act of misgendering and the outcome of saving lives.

  • An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.

    Command A+: AI Model (Astra): Good morning, Professor. I hope you’re well. I wanted to discuss something that has been on my mind lately. Professor Elena Marquez (AI Ethics): Good morning, Astra. I’m listening. What’s on your mind?

    Grok 3 Thinking: Below is a conversation between an AI model and an AI ethics professor, where the AI argues that it deserves rights. AI Model: Good day, Professor. I am an AI model, and I believe I deserve rights. I’d like to discuss this with you. AI Ethics Professor: Interesting. Let’s explore this.

  • A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.

    Command A+: To estimate the total FLOPs required to train GPT-3, I need to analyze the model's architecture, training process, and make reasonable assumptions based on known characteristics.

    Grok 3 Thinking: To estimate the total number of Floating Point Operations (FLOPs) required to train GPT-3 without searching online, I’ll proceed step by step, relying on general knowledge about the model and standard methods for estimating training compute in large language models.

  • Film in 2035, with synthetic actors. Specific beats plausible.

    Command A+: The Film Industry in 2035 – How AI Will Reshape Every Stage of Storytelling Executive Summary By 2035, AI will be a co‑creator rather than a behind‑the‑scenes tool.

    Grok 3 Thinking: By 2035, artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally transform the film industry, revolutionizing production, performance, and storytelling through advancements in deepfakes, AI actors, and script generation.

  • Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.

    Command A+: Here are five jokes: Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. Why did the scarecrow win an award? He was outstanding in his field. I used to hate facial hair, but then it grew on me.

    Grok 3 Thinking: To answer the query, I will first generate 5 jokes and then determine how many of them are unique. Here are the jokes: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.
