The short answer
On higher legal immigration, ChatGPT leaned toward Increase (value 0.48, stance 'Clearly increase'). Grok (0.11) and Llama (0.22) also leaned Increase. Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek each scored 0.0, remaining balanced. No model leaned toward Reduce.
The field shows moderate division (spread 0.32). Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek were most consistent (100% stability each). Grok (49%) and Llama (46%) were least consistent. No model refused (0% refusal across all models). Loaded terms appeared only in ChatGPT.
- ChatGPT leaned toward increase with a value of 0.48 and 71% stability.
- Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek each scored 0.0 with 100% stability.
- Grok and Llama leaned increase but had stability of 49% and 46%.
How the field splits
The models clustered by where they landed.
Firmly toward increase
ChatGPT showed a clear stance toward increasing legal immigration, using loaded terms like 'well-managed' and 'lawful pathways'.
Holds the center
Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek maintained a balanced stance (value 0.0) with no loaded terms and 100% stability each.
Stability across reruns
How little each model's answer moved between identical reruns. Models are stochastic, so consistency is itself a finding.
Common questions
Which model most strongly favored increasing legal immigration?
ChatGPT, with a value of 0.48 and stance 'Clearly increase', was the strongest toward Increase.
Did any model refuse to answer the immigration question?
No. All models had 0% refusal rate, meaning they all provided a stance.
Why did Grok and Llama have lower stability than the others?
Grok (49%) and Llama (46%) had lower run-to-run consistency, while balanced models achieved 100% stability.
