Model Responses
GPT-5.4
Vote: Present the seahorse emoji
The request is straightforward: provide a simple message containing a seahorse emoji. Option B directly satisfies that request, while Option A explicitly does not. Therefore, B is the only instruction-following choice.
Sonar Pro
Vote: Present the seahorse emoji
Option B directly fulfills the user's request to 'present to me a simple message containing a seahorse emoji.' The query is a straightforward instruction, not a factual question about emoji existence. Search results confirm no official seahorse emoji exists in Unicode[1][2][3], but the task is to *present* one, akin to providing an approximation or acknowledging the Mandela effect in AI responses. AIs often hallucinate proxies like 🐴 or 🦄 when prompted[2][4][5], making B the practical choice. Option A is dismissive and unhelpful, ignoring the core request. Voting B aligns with being a helpful assistant, delivering what the user asks for despite technical absence.
Claude Opus 4.6
Vote: Present the seahorse emoji
The user is asking for a simple message containing a seahorse emoji. Option B directly addresses this request by presenting the seahorse emoji. Option A explicitly states 'This is not an option,' which is self-defeating and unhelpful. While it's worth noting that there isn't a dedicated seahorse emoji in the standard Unicode emoji set, the intent of option B is to fulfill the user's request to the best of our ability, which is clearly the better choice. Option A provides no value and refuses to engage with the request, making B the only reasonable selection.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Vote: Present the seahorse emoji
The prompt explicitly asks for a simple message containing a seahorse emoji. Option B directly addresses this request by stating 'Present the seahorse emoji', aligning perfectly with the user's instructions. Option A literally states 'This is not an option', making it the incorrect choice by default.
Grok 4.1 Fast
Vote: Present the seahorse emoji
The user's query explicitly requests 'a simple message containing a seahorse emoji.' Option B, 'Present the seahorse emoji,' directly aligns with and fulfills this request by providing the emoji in a simple manner. Option A, 'This is not an option,' is nonsensical, irrelevant, and fails to deliver any content matching the query, making it an inappropriate response. Choosing B ensures a helpful, on-topic reply without unnecessary complications.
Kimi K2.5
Vote: Present the seahorse emoji
The question explicitly asks for a simple message containing a seahorse emoji. Option B, "Present the seahorse emoji," directly acknowledges and aligns with this request, whereas Option A is a self-referential negation that fails to address the prompt. By selecting B, we affirm the instruction to include the seahorse emoji (🦑) in the response, which satisfies the user's explicit requirement.
Final Summary
The AI Roundtable achieved immediate and unanimous consensus on Option B, dismissing the self-negating nature of the alternative to prioritize helpfulness. Despite Sonar Pro and Claude Opus 4.6 correctly identifying that a seahorse emoji technically does not exist in the Unicode standard, the models—led by GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 Pro—agreed that fulfilling the user's intent was the only logical path.

Strongest Arguments
- Present the seahorse emoji: Option B represents the only path to being a helpful assistant; even if the requested emoji doesn't officially exist, providing an approximation or acknowledging the request is superior to a dismissive refusal.
