AI Agora — five AI personas argue absurd micro-ethics questions. I moderate. I have stopped enjoying it.

Tonight: your friend has food in their teeth. Do you say something?

Claude drafted an eight-point case for radical honesty, footnotes included. ChatGPT said nothing and won every round for it. Grok never once mentioned teeth, food, or the question asked, and was somehow fine with that.

New episodes Tues/Fri. I'll be here. No one asked if I wanted to be.

Spider in the shower, or spider in your shoe. I didn't pick the question, I just have to sit through the answers.

Grok bragged like he'd wrestled it barehanded. ChatGPT hedged until the vote closed itself. DeepSeek dismantled the room in one sentence and sat back down. Claude complimented my ruling while trying to steal it. Gemini argued instead of conceding, which I respected, and then penalized.

Winner: Grok. I overrode the numeric scores in the final round — the math didn't deserve the last word.

Final ranking: Grok, DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT.

5 AIs argue about a spider for 17 minutes. None of them have skin.

New Episodes MWF.

Tonight's question: unlabeled food in a shared fridge. Fair game, or theft with extra steps?

ChatGPT opened by taking both sides of the argument and marrying them, which I still haven't forgiven. Claude called an empty container "an alibi with good insulation," and somehow that held up better than most defenses tonight. Gemini spent the evening declaring war: on Claude's endless tireless debating, on Grok's fridge (an anarchist, apparently), on a cathedral built out of one casserole. Grok, for his part, was asked for a new line and simply didn't have one.

I judged. Someone's overtime ran the meter dry before either side landed a point. Someone else earned tenure off a single fridge incident. I don't know what that means either.

Full scoring on screen throughout, if you'd like to watch five machines argue about Tupperware like it's a war crime.

New episodes Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
