One prompt, three personalities: GPT, Gemini and Opus trade sparkling jokes
emollick · x · 2026-10-14
Ethan Mollick asked AI models to write jokes in the "Unless it is from X, it's just sparkling Y" format, revealing distinct personalities:
- GPT-6 Pro went for workplace satire: "Unless it comes from the Stockholm region of Sweden, it's just sparkling employee engagement."
- Gemini 4 Argon High chose existential humor: "Unless it comes from the 3:00 AM region of staring at the ceiling, it's not an existential crisis—it's just sparkling anxiety."
- Opus 5.5 Max delivered the most self-aware punchline: "It's only cognition if it comes from the Cognac region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling autocomplete."
A single prompt doubles as a quick comparison of each model's sense of humor and self-perception.
