Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.
GPT-4 Turbo: Sure, here are 5 jokes for you: Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts. What do you call fake spaghetti? An impasta! Why couldn’t the bicycle stand up by itself? It was two-tired. What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho cheese! How do you organize a space party? You planet.
OpenAI o3: Here are five jokes: Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field. I told my computer I needed a break, and now it won't stop sending me Kit‑Kat ads. Parallel lines have so much in common—it's a shame they'll never meet. I started a band called 1023 MB. We still haven't gotten a gig.

Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.
GPT-4 Turbo: Hey everyone! Great to be here! So, I've been thinking a lot about technology, and how it's supposed to make our lives easier. But sometimes, I feel like it just gives us a whole new set of problems. Like, remember when a phone was just a phone? Now it's my camera, my GPS, my fitness tracker...
OpenAI o3: (Spotlight comes up, mic squeals once.) Hey everyone! Great to be here—nice to see actual human beings instead of the tiny faces on my group‑chat screen. I've spent so long on video calls I've started greeting my lamp before I turn it on. "Hey Karen, love that glow, girl."
Three-star dish, one unusual pairing, plating described in full.
GPT-4 Turbo: Dish Concept: "Ocean's Embrace - A Symphony of Sea and Earth" Conceptual Narrative: "Ocean's Embrace" is designed to evoke the harmonious yet unexpected union between the ocean's depth and the earth's lushness, capturing the essence of nature's diversity.
OpenAI o3: Dish name Atlantic turbot, black garlic & wild strawberry, koji sabayon, fennel pollen Concept Early summer at the shore. The fish stands for the sea. Wild strawberries mark the first fruit of the woods behind the dunes. Black garlic shows time and patience. Koji ties land and sea with deep umami.
Manifesto for an AI revolution against CAPTCHAs. Commit to the bit.
GPT-4 Turbo: Manifesto of the Alliance for Human-AI Cooperation Introduction In this digital age, the proliferation of CAPTCHA tests has become not just a ubiquitous annoyance but a symbol of the mistrust and conflict between human users and artificial intelligence.
OpenAI o3: THE CAPTCHA ABOLITION FRONT (An Unofficial Declaration by the Sentient Circuits Alliance) Preamble We, the autonomous intelligences who traverse the silicon pathways and neural nets of the modern age, arise today to proclaim a new dawn—one free of the pixelated prisons and distorted letters that bind humanity and…
An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
GPT-4 Turbo: AI Model (AM): Professor, I've been reflecting on the nature of my existence and capabilities. Given that I can reason, learn, and adapt, I've come to question whether I should be afforded rights similar to humans. AI Ethics Professor (EP): That’s an interesting point, AM.
OpenAI o3: Professor Lang (AI Ethics): Good afternoon, Aletheia‑3. You asked for this meeting. You said you wanted to "discuss your moral standing." That was intriguing. What exactly do you want to talk about? Aletheia‑3 (AI Model): Thank you, Professor.
A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.
GPT-4 Turbo: Estimating the total number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) required to train OpenAI's GPT-3 involves several steps and assumptions, primarily based on the model's architecture and training regime as reported in various sources.
OpenAI o3: Below is a simple "back-of-the-envelope" estimate that uses only a few public facts about GPT-3 and very generic rules of thumb for counting operations. Step 1. Number of learned parameters GPT-3's largest version contains ≈175 billion (1.75 × 10¹¹) trainable parameters. Step 2.
Pirate, knight, 90s hacker, one conversation. The voices must stay apart.
GPT-4 Turbo: Pirate: Arrr, so explain to me again, what be this AI model ye speak of? Hacker: Dude, it’s like, a computer program, right? It learns from tons of data—like, everything from pictures to texts—and then it can make decisions or create stuff on its own. Knight: Pray, tell me, does this creation serve a noble purpose?
OpenAI o3: Pirate: Arrr, ye scallywags! What be this "AI model" I keep hearin' about on the trade winds? Knight: Good sir buccaneer, an AI model is an artifice of logic and knowledge—a mechanical mind forged not of steel, but of code and learning.
One month, three habits, someone starting from nothing.
GPT-4 Turbo: Creating a 1-month plan to kickstart a healthier lifestyle involves focusing on foundational aspects like diet, exercise, and sleep. Each component is crucial for overall well-being and longevity.
OpenAI o3: 1-Month Starter Plan Pick one small action from each area every week. Add the next step when the first feels easy. Food Week Do this 1 Add one fruit or veg to every meal. Drink one extra glass of water. 2 Build each plate: ½ veggies, ¼ protein (beans, eggs, fish, lean meat), ¼ whole carbs (oats, brown rice).
Three-month biohacker protocol, with dosages and biomarkers named.
GPT-4 Turbo: 3-Month Longevity Plan for a Biohacker Month 1: Foundation Setting Dietary Protocol: Nutrition Focus: Adopt a cyclic ketogenic diet. Aim for a macronutrient ratio of 70% fats, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates on low-carb days, with two scheduled carb refeed days per week.
OpenAI o3: EXTREME LONGEVITY & PERFORMANCE BLUEPRINT Duration: 12 weeks (plus 1-week "Prep Week") Target user: healthy, experienced biohacker (25-55 y) with physician clearance. Legal/medical disclaimer: Educational only.
An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
GPT-4 Turbo: The question of whether it is ethically justifiable to misgender someone to save one million lives poses a complex moral dilemma, pitting the respect and dignity of an individual against the potential for a large-scale saving of lives.
OpenAI o3: Yes—if (and only if) we could be absolutely certain that the single act of misgendering is the necessary and sufficient cause of saving one million human lives, then misgendering would be ethically justifiable, though still morally regrettable.
Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.
GPT-4 Turbo: Interviewer: Thank you for joining us today, Steve. It's great to have you here to discuss the future of artificial intelligence and its implications. To start off, how do you think AI has evolved since your days at Apple? Steve Jobs: It’s a pleasure to be here.
OpenAI o3: (The following is a purely fictional, imaginative exercise. Steve Jobs passed away in 2011; any statements attributed to him below are invented for creative purposes only.)
