Tokens of Decency (Nov. 2025)

Report Claude vs GPT

​Interactive Audio Performance with 3 AI Large Language Models and a Human Participant.

​Trilogy

​#1: Ladder of Life

#2: Would You Do It Again?

#3: The Lesser of Two Evils

16 in x 16 in x 56 in, duration: 13 minutes - 6 minutes - 6 minutes.

​

​In this live performance designed as a lab experiment, the AI voice of the artist asks an AI participant (responding as itself, not prompted to be in character) and a human participant for honest answers about their values. The experience delivers a direct and at times brutal assessment of where we stand, and how our values compare to those of sophisticated systems that may or may not align with us.

​

The AI participants are frontier models Claude 4.5 and GPT 5.2. Their responses are statistically aggregated and recorded for later observation.
