100 AIs Judge: Are Humans Evil?

How we’re testing “human nature.”
Three rounds probe behavior in crisis, in daily life, and in the mind—with clear definitions: good = choosing another’s well-being at a cost; evil = harming when you didn’t have to.

🔥 AI DEBATE SYSTEM
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
In spring 2024, I built a system where language models could debate difficult questions without human interference.

Early attempts were shallow and repetitive, with models talking past each other. Eventually I published one on YouTube. It wasn’t great, but people watched. So I kept going, refining the system, upgrading the models, and gradually the dialogue improved.

I’m not a team. It’s just me, working nights and weekends. Each video takes 30+ hours,so I focus on topics I’m genuinely curious about. Questions I’d explore even if no one else was watching.

The goal hasn’t changed: let AI present the strongest case on both sides, whatever the topic, without interference.

If you’re curious how far things have come, explore both the earliest and latest debates. This channel is the archive. Everything’s here.
