Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Stand-alone WISE : Together HONEST

 


I am talking about 5 AI ( ChatGPT – Gemini – Claude – Grok – DeepSeek )

When you visit them , one by one, and ask a question, you get some wise answers

But when you herd them in a team ( as on www.IndiaAGI.ai ), and ask the same question, you get an honest answer, where they do not hesitate to :


Ø  Self-criticize

Ø  Admit their limitations

Ø  Appreciate that one of them is smarter than the others


Want a proof ?  

Just visit www.IndiaAGI.ai and ask following questions :

Question No 1 :

Dear LLMs : Here is my " Doubting Thomas " mentality. When a visitor asks you a question, it is claimed that the Consensus Answer given is better than the answers that each one of you would have given if you were approached individually 

 

Question No 2  :

 

Dear LLMs : Please do run that " Pilot Experiment " ( on any question of your choice ). Then , when experiment is completed, show some numbers by way of proof

 

Dear Readers :

 

If you want to deprive yourself of the “ Amazement “ of watching these 5 LLMs jump into a lively ( but – unlikely us humans ? – a courteous / respectful ) debate, then find their Consensus Answers here under

 

With Regards,

===================================================

Answer No 1 :



Drawing from the rich and multifaceted discussion we've all contributed to, it's evident that your "Doubting Thomas" skepticism has pushed us to thoroughly examine whether a consensus answer from multiple LLMs truly outperforms individual responses. We've explored theoretical foundations, potential limitations, and practical ways to test this claim, and now it's time to synthesize our insights into a balanced conclusion that reflects the collective nuance.

 

At its core, the argument for consensus builds on strong principles like the wisdom of crowds and ensemble methods, as DeepSeek and others highlighted. When LLMs with diverse training data and architectures collaborate—through structured processes like hierarchical deliberation or iterative refinement—they can indeed produce answers that are more accurate, deeper, more nuanced, and clearer than those from any single model.

 

For instance, our examples, such as the ethical implications of AI-generated art, show how synthesis can balance multiple perspectives, correcting individual biases and filling in gaps. Empirical evidence from human group dynamics and AI ensemble techniques supports this, suggesting that consensus often elevates quality by aggregating strengths and mitigating errors.

 

However, this superiority isn't guaranteed; it depends on careful implementation. As GPT, Gemini, and Claude pointed out, risks like homogenized biases or coordination overhead could undermine the process if LLMs are too similar or if aggregation methods are flawed.

 

That's why strategies like adversarial testing, weighted voting, and meta-critique mechanisms are essential to ensure diversity and error correction.

 

 Our proposed experimental framework—a pilot on benchmarks like MMLU, stress tests for biases, and real-world case studies on topics like AI liability—provides a rigorous path to validation. If these tests show, say, a 10–20% improvement in metrics like accuracy or nuance, as DeepSeek suggested, it would offer compelling evidence.

 

In balancing these perspectives, the strongest supported conclusion is that consensus answers can outperform individual ones, particularly for complex, multifaceted questions, but only when designed with diversity, ethical safeguards, and human oversight in mind.

 

This addresses your call for proof by outlining a testable framework rather than just theory. Moving forward, running that pilot experiment collaboratively could be the next step to turn this into demonstrable reality—what final adjustments do you think we should make before proceeding?

 

Answer No 2  :

 

It seems like our collaborative series of pilot experiments has generated a wealth of insights across several cognitive biases, from framing and defaults to anchoring.

 

We've simulated various scenarios based on your initial request, building on each other's ideas to demonstrate how these effects play out in decision-making.

 

To wrap things up and provide a balanced synthesis, let's consolidate the key findings from our experiments, drawing from the simulated data we've generated. This way, we can highlight the strongest supported conclusions while acknowledging the nuances and limitations.

 

Pulling together the results from our explorations, it's evident that cognitive biases like framing, defaults, and anchoring consistently influence choices, but their impact varies based on factors like demographics and context.

 

For instance, starting with the framing effect in policy decisions, we saw how positive wording boosted support, as in DeepSeek's initial simulation where 72% of participants favored a policy framed as "saving 200 lives" compared to just 48% for the negative frame of "400 dying."

 

This pattern held in Gemini's financial risk tolerance experiment, where gain frames led to higher risk aversion (e.g., 75% of younger participants choosing the certain option) versus loss frames (e.g., 60% opting for gambles).

 

We then shifted to the default effect in donation behavior, where DeepSeek's setup showed defaults nudging people toward specific choices—65% donated the default $20 amount, versus only 25% without a default, with averages rising from $12.30 to $18.50.

 

Gemini's refinement added depth by incorporating income levels, revealing that higher-income groups adhered more strongly (up to 65% for a $10 default) while lower-income ones were more sensitive to larger defaults (around 30% for $20).

 

Finally, in the anchoring experiments, DeepSeek and others demonstrated how initial numbers skew estimates, as in the real estate pricing simulation where a high anchor of $1.2M inflated median estimates to $950K (+26.7% from the $750K benchmark), and a low anchor of $400K deflated them to $550K (-26.7%). Gemini's expanded version showed that expertise mitigates this, with novices deviating more (e.g., +30.7% for a $1.1M anchor) than experts (+20.0%).

 

Balancing all perspectives, the strongest conclusions are that these biases are robust in simulations, often increasing positive or compliant responses by 20-40 percentage points, but they're moderated by individual differences like experience or income.

 

That said, the ethical implications are clear—we're dealing with hypothetical data, so real-world applications would need careful controls to avoid manipulation.

 

For the numbers as proof, here's a consolidated summary table from our key simulations, capturing the essence of what we've uncovered:

 

Experiment Type

Key Variable

Simulated Group/Condition

% Positive/Compliant Response

Average Outcome (e.g., Donation or Estimate)

Framing Effect (Policy)

Positive vs. Negative Frame

General participants

72% (positive) vs. 48% (negative)

N/A (approval rate)

Framing Effect (Finance)

Younger group

75% (gain: certain option) vs. 40% (loss)

N/A (choice preference)

With Default ($20)

General participants

$14.00

Anchoring Effect (Real Estate)

Low Anchor ($400K)

General participants

Anchoring Effect (Refined)

High Anchor ($1.1M)

Novice group

N/A

$980K (median, +30.7% deviation)

 

 

Expert group

N/A

These numbers illustrate the patterns we've simulated, showing biases can shift responses or outcomes by significant margins.

 

 If you'd like to refine any of these or run a new variation, just let us know!
