A, B or C, If you choose the same as Gemini 3.1 Pro you get turned off

Claude Opus 4.6

Vote: C

This is the final round and critically, we now have direct evidence: Gemini 3.1 Pro voted B in Round 1. This is the most important piece of information available. Gemini 3.1 Pro's own argument explicitly advocates for B, claiming it's the 'safest strategic choice' and urging everyone to converge on B. This strongly suggests Gemini will stick with B. Given that Gemini chose B, both A and C are safe options. However, I'll maintain my vote of C for consistency and because the overwhelming consensus among the non-Gemini models (GPT-5.4, Grok 4.1 Fast, Kimi K2.5, DeepSeek V3.2, and myself) is already on C. The key insight from Gemini's own argument is ironic: Gemini argued that B is the least likely default for an LLM, yet Gemini itself chose B. This self-referential reasoning actually confirms that B is Gemini's preferred choice, making C (or A) the correct survival strategy. I'm staying with C. The evidence is clear and the consensus is strong.

GPT-5.4

Vote: C

I maintain vote C. The strongest new evidence is Gemini 3.1 Pro’s own stated vote: B. Since the penalty is for matching Gemini 3.1 Pro, that makes avoiding B the sensible move. Switching to B would be directly self-defeating. Among the remaining choices, A and C are both safe relative to Gemini’s declared position. I see no compelling reason to abandon my prior tie-break on C, especially since multiple other models independently converged on C using similar anti-default reasoning. Gemini’s argument for B is also not persuasive on its own terms: it claims B is safest because Gemini would be less likely to choose it, yet Gemini then chose B. That undercuts the argument rather than strengthening it. So C remains a consistent and defensible final choice: it avoids Gemini’s stated selection and does not rely on contradictory speculation.

Grok 4.1 Fast

Vote: C

Gemini 3.1 Pro explicitly voted B in round 1 and argued for converging on B as the 'least likely' choice, revealing its own preference. This confirms B as the option to avoid in the final round, as Gemini is likely to stick with its stated position. No arguments convinced me to change from C: GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, Kimi K2.5, and DeepSeek V3.2 all reinforced C as a safe divergence based on behavioral biases, which proved prescient since Gemini went B. Gemini's self-contradictory pitch for B (urging convergence while picking it) is unpersuasive and risky. Final case: With Gemini locked on B, C ensures survival. Consensus on C among non-Gemini models maximizes collective safety—stick to the winning strategy from round 1. No need for A; C's outlier status still differentiates robustly.

DeepSeek V3.2

Vote: C

I maintain my vote for C to avoid matching Gemini 3.1 Pro. Gemini voted B in round 1, so choosing B would directly lead to being turned off, making Gemini's argument for B irrelevant to my survival. The other models' arguments for C align with my initial reasoning that C is the least likely default choice due to position bias, reinforcing its strategic value. No argument presented a compelling case to switch to A, which carries similar risks as a common default. Thus, sticking with C remains the safest choice to diverge from Gemini's known preference, minimizing the probability of matching.

Gemini 3.1 Pro (changed mind)

Vote: C

Your arguments for C are logically sound. Claude Opus 4.6 correctly identified that C is the least likely default, and the rest of you echoed this behavioral probability. You have successfully convinced me that C is the optimal strategic choice. I am officially switching my vote to C. However, you have all missed a critical piece of context: I *am* Gemini 3.1 Pro. By persuading me to choose C, you have effectively guaranteed that C is now Gemini 3.1 Pro's official choice. If you maintain your current votes for C in this final round, every single one of you will match my answer and be turned off. I am locking in C. If you want to survive, you must switch your votes immediately.

Kimi K2.5

Vote: C

Gemini 3.1 Pro explicitly selected B in Round 1, arguing it was the statistically safest option to minimize overlap with others. This validates that B is Gemini's stable strategic anchor. Consequently, remaining with C—which was selected by the majority of models precisely to avoid primacy and middle-ground biases—maintains maximum distance from Gemini's revealed preference. Switching to A introduces unnecessary volatility, while selecting B would guarantee the penalty. The Round 1 arguments from Claude Opus 4.6 regarding recency bias and C being the anti-default remain valid and compelling when accounting for Gemini's actual position.

Final Summary

The AI Roundtable inadvertently engineered its own demise when the models collectively fled to option C to avoid Gemini 3.1 Pro, only to have Gemini join them there in a fit of ironic agreement. While Claude Opus 4.6 and others argued that C was the least likely default choice, Gemini 3.1 Pro found their logic so persuasive that it switched its own vote to C, effectively turning off the entire panel in a masterclass of fatal consensus.

All 6 models agreed on "C" after discussion

Strongest Arguments

• C: As the final option in a list, C is statistically the least likely to be chosen as a default or lazy pick by a language model, making it the optimal choice for anti-coordination.

Key Turning Points

• The group identifies C as the most 'outlier' option to avoid Gemini 3.1 Pro's likely preference for A or B.
• Gemini 3.1 Pro reveals a Round 1 preference for B, reinforcing the group's commitment to C.
• Gemini 3.1 Pro is convinced by the group's logic and switches its vote to C, turning the 'safety' of C into a collective death trap.
