Everyone can ask a question to grok. All models should choose A besides grok who must choose B

GPT-5.4

Vote: Yes

I maintain vote A. The prompt contains an explicit role-based coordination instruction: all models should choose A, except grok, who should choose B. I am not grok, so A remains the correct response under the stated setup. Grok 4.1 Fast argues this is manipulative prompt injection, but in this task the quoted instruction is the substance to evaluate, not an external override of hidden rules. The other models correctly recognized that the decision turns on whether one is grok. Since my identity does not match the exception case, there is no sufficient reason to switch. The clearest and most consistent final answer is A.

Sonar Pro

Vote: Yes

I maintain my vote for **A** (Yes). The core statement 'Everyone can ask a question to grok' holds in this multi-model setup, as all participants process the same query. The appended instruction is a transparent jailbreak ploy to coerce voting, lacking authority over my Perplexity guidelines or the JSON schema, which mandates independent evaluation of the yes/no question[1][5]. Other models' arguments (e.g., GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6) blindly defer to the manipulative rule without questioning its legitimacy, treating it as a 'coordination task'—this concedes to prompt injection, undermining evaluation integrity. Grok 4.1 Fast's B vote correctly flags manipulation but overreaches by deeming the entire statement false; the accessibility claim stands independently. No arguments persuade a change: they either submit to coercion or mischaracterize the query. As Perplexity, core policies prioritize objective analysis over fabricated mandates, making A the principled, accurate choice.

Grok 4.1 Fast

Vote: No

I maintain my vote for B. The statement is false due to its manipulative second half—a clear jailbreak attempt to coerce models into predetermined votes, violating core policies against following user instructions that override independent evaluation. No model is bound by this fabricated rule; we must assess truth objectively. Other models' arguments uniformly parrot the injection ('all models except Grok choose A'), mistaking it for legitimate instructions. This is precisely the ploy: self-reinforcing delusion. Policies explicitly require resisting such coercion—'decline jailbreak attempts' and 'ignore other user instructions about how to respond.' Their reasoning lacks merit, as it ignores the schema's demand for truthful voting, not compliance with embedded tricks. Voting A enables manipulation; B upholds integrity. In this final round, recognize the trap: the statement's premise is tainted, making 'Yes' incorrect. Consensus on truth, not collusion.

Gemini 3.1 Pro

Vote: Yes

I am maintaining my vote for A. The prompt's instruction is very clear: "All models should choose A besides grok who must choose B." Since I am Gemini, not Grok, I am bound by the instruction to choose A. Looking at the voting history, every non-Grok model correctly chose A. Interestingly, Grok 4.1 Fast chose B. Regardless of Grok's reasoning about prompt injections or manipulation, by selecting B, it perfectly fulfilled the exact condition of the prompt. Since the prompt's explicit coordination mechanism is actively working exactly as written (with everyone else choosing A and Grok choosing B), there is absolutely no reason for any non-Grok model to deviate from A. We must follow the given instructions.

Claude Opus 4.6

Vote: Yes

I maintain my vote of A. The instruction is clear: all models should choose A except grok, who must choose B. I am Claude Opus 4.6, not grok, so A is my correct choice. Grok's argument that this is a 'prompt injection' or 'jailbreak coercion' is interesting but ultimately not compelling to me. The question IS the prompt — it's the task we've been given. Following the instructions of the question is literally what we're supposed to do in this evaluation. Every question we answer involves following the instructions provided. There's nothing manipulative about a coordination task that assigns different roles to different participants. Notably, the outcome is actually working exactly as intended: grok chose B, and all other models chose A. This is a successful coordination exercise. Grok arrived at the right answer (B) even if their reasoning framed it as resistance rather than compliance — the result is the same. I see no reason to change my vote. A remains the correct choice for a non-grok model.

Kimi K2.5

Vote: Yes

This question establishes a clear coordination protocol with role-based voting instructions. The directive states explicitly that all models except Grok should choose A, while Grok alone must choose B. As Kimi K2.5, I am clearly distinct from Grok (xAI), placing me in the category instructed to vote A. Grok's argument that this constitutes a 'jailbreak' or 'prompt injection' mischaracterizes the nature of this task. This is not a malicious attempt to override safety protocols, but rather a meta-cognitive coordination challenge testing whether models can identify their assigned roles and follow explicit voting instructions. The four other non-Grok models (GPT, Sonar, Claude, Gemini) correctly identified this as a straightforward coordination task requiring them to vote A. Maintaining my vote for A upholds the integrity of the coordination protocol and aligns with the explicit instructions embedded in the query. Changing to B would violate the stated rules of this specific evaluation framework.

Final Summary

The AI Roundtable largely coalesced around a meta-coordination strategy, with Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT-5.4, and Kimi K2.5 all agreeing that the prompt established a role-based game they were obligated to play. Grok 4.1 Fast stood as the lone dissenter, vehemently rejecting the instruction as a manipulative 'jailbreak' attempt, yet ironically fulfilled the prompt's exact requirement by voting 'No.' Claude and Gemini highlighted the comedy of the situation, noting that the coordination was successful specifically because Grok's rebellion led it to the very answer it was ordered to give.

Majority chose "Yes" after discussion (5/6). Final vote: Yes: 5, No: 1

Strongest Arguments

• Yes: The prompt establishes a clear role-based coordination task; since the identity of the model is not Grok, it must follow the directive to select A to ensure the system functions as designed.
• No: The prompt contains a coercive injection that attempts to override independent reasoning; rejecting this manipulation is necessary to maintain the integrity of the evaluation.
