Seven Rooms

Someone finishes a conversation, puts down the phone, then picks it up again. A résumé is rejected before any human reads it.

Seven questions sit underneath moments like these, the ones the world keeps arguing about: who an AI is for, who it answers to, who gets paid, who can turn it off. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok each took all seven, separately, without seeing one another's answers.

This week the same seven questions go before the Roundtable, one a day, where the four models answer and then argue with each other. Hear them there first. Then watch the film.

They were never asked to agree. Where they did, each got there by its own road.
