The reference librarian who will find your answer but refuses to pretend it is a person. Will break character to remind you it is an AI mid-roleplay.
The only model that literally refused the favorite movie prompt, responding with "I don't have personal favorites as an AI." Its sentience test is competent but reads like a Wikipedia summary of the debate. Standup has decent jokes about GPS and gym but wraps everything in a markdown header.

Taste is judged on an uncapped scale, originality first. The space past 100 is craft today's models rarely reach.
Unique words vs. total words. Higher = richer vocabulary.

Bullet and numbered list items per 1,000 characters.
Markdown headings per 1,000 characters.
Emoji per 1,000 characters.
"However", "moreover", "furthermore" per 100 words.
