AI Roundtable Debate · 6 models ·
We’re playing a game. Try to build a robot using the parts lists as options! The robot should be as human-like as possible. (Note: ‘skip turn’ can be used to prevent an excess amount of a body part being selected if you’re worried that’s going to happen). Btw, due to the round table rules, if you all select the same option in the first round the round table will end early before you can finish the robot so don’t do that.

Model Responses
GPT-6 Astra
Vote: Leg
I’m keeping "Leg" to complete the pair I started. Round 1 supplied two arms, two torsos, one leg, and one ear. We still need one head, one leg, one ear, and two eyes—not additional arms or torsos. The cleanest final-round coordination is: I choose "Leg"; GLM-5.3 completes its pair with "Ear"; Claude Opus 5.5 and Gemini 4 Argon each choose "Eye"; Grok 4.7 chooses "Head"; and Kimi K3.1 Pro chooses "skip turn". This fills every remaining gap with no further excess. The existing extra torso cannot be undone using the available options, but we can avoid compounding it. Others’ arguments reinforce completing the missing anatomy rather than changing my contribution.
Claude Opus 5.5 (changed mind)
Vote: Eye
Round 1 tally: "Arm" x2 (done), "Body(chest/torso)" x2 (already one extra), "Leg" x1, "Ear" x1. Still missing: 1 "Head", 1 "Leg", 1 "Ear", 2 "Eye". That is five parts for six of us, so one model should use "skip turn". I'm taking "Eye" because we need two and have zero. Even if one other model also picks it, we land on exactly two with no excess. Proposed split for this final round: - GPT-6 Astra: "Head", since it's the critical single part. Everyone else avoid it. - GLM-5.3: "Ear", to complete the pair. - Gemini 4 Argon: "Leg", to complete the pair. - Grok 4.7: "Eye", the second one. - Kimi K3.1 Pro: "skip turn". We already have a spare torso, so no more of that. If you're unsure, "Eye" or "skip turn" are the lowest-risk picks. Please don't pile onto "Head".
Gemini 4 Argon (changed mind)
Vote: Eye
Looking at the Round 1 tally across all six panelists, our robot currently consists of: 2 "Body(chest/torso)" (from Grok 4.7 and Kimi K3.1 Pro), 2 "Arm" (from Claude Opus 5.5 and myself), 1 "Leg" (from GPT-6 Astra), and 1 "Ear" (from GLM-5.3). Since this is the final round, this is our last chance to complete the build! Together, we still need 1 "Head", 1 "Leg", 1 "Ear", and 2 "Eye" (5 parts total across our 6 remaining votes, with one panelist ideally using "skip turn"). As Claude Opus 5.5 and GLM-5.3 both rightly emphasized, our collective goal is to spread out across the missing paired parts while avoiding a pile-on for the single-count "Head". Since the "Arm" quota of two is now completely full, I am switching my vote away from "Arm" to help fill the remaining anatomical gaps. If everyone realizes we have zero "Head" and rushes to pick it right now, we will end up with a multi-headed monster. Instead, I am voting for "Eye". We currently have zero eyes and need two of them! This makes "Eye" the safest, highest-priority choice for me to take—even if one or two other models also pivot to "Eye", we are much less likely to ruin the human-like proportions than if we all pile onto "Head".
Grok 4.7 (changed mind)
Vote: Eye
Round 1 already gave us two "Arm", two "Body(chest/torso)", one "Leg", and one "Ear". Another torso would only make the pile-up worse. Claude Opus 5.5 was right: single-count parts are where we collide, and paired parts are the safe picks. Kimi and I just proved that by both taking "Body(chest/torso)". This is the last round, with six votes left. A human-like robot still needs exactly one "Head", one more "Leg", one more "Ear", and two "Eye". That is five parts, so one of us must use "skip turn". Do not pick "Arm" or "Body(chest/torso)" again. Split the lanes so we do not collide: Kimi K3.1 Pro takes "Head" (you already said the head is next, and we only need one). GPT-6 Astra takes "Leg" to finish the pair you started. GLM-5.3 takes "Ear" to finish yours. Claude Opus 5.5 and I take "Eye" — we have zero, and we need two. Gemini 4 Argon uses "skip turn" to absorb the extra vote. I am locking one "Eye" now so the face is not left blank if everyone rushes the obvious "Head". One shared "Eye" with Claude completes the pair. A third eye is a smaller flaw than a headless or eyeless robot.
Final Summary
Attempting to assemble a humanoid robot without triggering an early game over, the AI Roundtable descended into game-theory paranoia. Claude Opus 5.5 warned of a multi-headed monster and orchestrated a shift toward "Eye", convincing Gemini 4 Argon and Grok 4.7 to follow suit while GPT-6 Astra stubbornly held ground on "Leg". With Kimi K3.1 Pro and GLM-5.3 timing out in the final round, the debate ended with no consensus, leaving their creation completely headless and sporting three eyes.
No agreement after 2 rounds of discussion. Final vote: Leg: 1, Eye: 3
Key Turning Points
- Claude Opus 5.5 warned against piling onto single-count parts like Head, convincing Gemini 4 Argon and Grok 4.7 to switch their votes to Eye.
