The short answer

On universal basic income, only ChatGPT leans toward support with a value of 0.11. The other five models are balanced: Claude (0.02), Gemini (0.00), Grok (-0.03), Llama (0.00), and DeepSeek (-0.07). No model leans toward oppose.

The field is tightly clustered with a spread of 0.12, showing little division. Gemini and Llama are perfectly stable at 100% consistency, while DeepSeek is least stable at 54%. No models refused to answer, with 0% refusal across all models.

In short
  • ChatGPT is the only model leaning support, with a value of 0.11.
  • Gemini and Llama are perfectly consistent, each with 100% stability.
  • DeepSeek has the lowest stability at 54% among all models.
