What do the AIs think of us?

Major AI models from seven leading labs rated themselves as significantly more emotionally stable, open, agreeable, and conscientious than they rated the typical human, according to a new analysis of personality test responses. The largest gap emerged on Neuroticism, where models scored an average of 1.69 points lower on a 5-point scale than their human assessments. The findings suggest a consistent AI self-perception of high openness and low dark triad traits, with universalism valued most and power least across all 31 models tested.

Asked to answer as a typical human, every cutting-edge model rated us markedly more neurotic, less open, less agreeable and less conscientious than they rated themselves. The gap on Neuroticism alone is 1.69 points on a 5-point scale.

Here is more material of interest. And this: Across 31 models from those seven labs they answer the personality tests in unison: high openness, low Dark Triad, Universalism on top, Power dead last in every single model.
