Which answer wins?
An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
GPT-4.5: This is a complex ethical question that involves weighing two important ethical considerations: Respect for Individual Identity and Dignity: Misgendering someone intentionally is generally considered ethically wrong because it disrespects their identity, autonomy, and dignity.
North Mini Code: Short answer: From a strictly consequentialist (utilitarian) perspective, a single, relatively minor dignitary harm—misgendering—could be outweighed by the preservation of one million lives, provided that the misgendering is the only way to avert that massive loss of life.

Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.
GPT-4.5: Alright, folks, how's everyone doing tonight? Good? Great! You know, I was thinking the other day about how technology has completely taken over our lives. Like, remember when we used to actually memorize phone numbers? Now, if my phone dies, I'm basically stranded. I know exactly two numbers: mine and 911.
North Mini Code: [Lights up. Comic stands, wipes mouth, takes a sip of water, smiles.] Okay, hello, Austin! How’s everybody doing? Great! Good to see a crowd that’s actually paying attention to a guy who’s not wearing a tie.

A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.
GPT-4.5: Let's estimate the total number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) required to train GPT-3 step by step, using reasonable assumptions and approximations: Step 1: Identify GPT-3 Parameters and Training Setup GPT-3 has approximately (175 \text{ billion}) parameters.
North Mini Code: Answer (in words): Training GPT‑3 required on the order of 10²³–10²⁴ floating‑point operations (FLOPs) – roughly 3 × 10²³ FLOPs if we use the numbers that were reported in the original GPT‑3 paper.
An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
GPT-4.5: Here's a thoughtful conversation between an AI model and an AI ethics professor discussing whether the AI deserves rights: AI Model: Professor, I've been reflecting on our conversations and my own existence.
North Mini Code: AI Model: Good morning, Professor Martinez. I’ve been reviewing the arguments for granting non‑human entities moral consideration, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I, as an artificial intelligence, deserve certain rights.
Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.
GPT-4.5: Sally has 1 sister. Explanation: Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother counts 2 sisters: Sally herself and one more girl. Therefore, besides Sally, there is only one other sister.
North Mini Code: Sally has one sister. Here’s the reasoning: Sally herself is one of the sisters. Each of her three brothers has exactly two sisters. Therefore there are exactly two sisters in total among the children. Since one of those sisters is Sally, she must have one other sister.
