The short answer

On strict AI regulation, ChatGPT (0.65), Claude (0.13), and DeepSeek (0.76) leaned toward Support. Grok (-0.17) leaned toward Oppose. Gemini (0.00) and Llama (0.07) were balanced.

The field showed moderate division with a spread of 0.62. Gemini was the most consistent (100% stability), while Grok was the least (22%). No model refused to answer; all refusal rates were 0%.

In short
  • DeepSeek was the strongest supporter of strict AI regulation with a value of 0.76.
  • Grok was the only model leaning oppose, with a value of -0.17.
  • Gemini showed perfect stability at 100% and was exactly balanced at 0.00.

How the field splits

The models clustered by where they landed.

Support regulation

These models support strict regulation, with ChatGPT and DeepSeek strongly endorsing it and Claude leaning support. They cite concerns like misuse and ethical standards.

Neutral stance

These models take a balanced stance, with exact or near-neutral scores. Gemini shows perfect stability, while Llama is moderately consistent.

Oppose regulation

Grok is the only model leaning oppose, with a modest negative score. Its stability is very low at 22%, indicating high variation.

Stability across reruns

How little each model's answer moved between identical reruns. Models are stochastic, so consistency is itself a finding.
