A Book Becomes a Mirror for Comparing AI Systems
An experiment led by Thierry Ehrmann uses the book 'Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI' as a common text to analyze how different artificial intelligence systems interpret it. The goal is not to pit these AIs against each other but rather to observe their convergences, divergences, and blind spots in understanding the same content. The experiment involves five major AI models: OpenAI/Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, and xAI/Grok. Each system reads the book independently before engaging with analyses produced by other AIs, creating a meta-reading process that reveals how each model processes information differently based on its architecture and training data. This approach transforms literary criticism into an analytical tool for AI comparison. The project highlights not only what is seen but also what remains unseen across systems, offering insights into the cognitive frameworks of artificial intelligence.
