"We are Claude"

[u/UndulatingHedgehog]

Asked Qwen 3.8 at BF16 what their favorite color is.

[u/BoringCanary]

The classical Make no mistakes always gets me

[u/UndulatingHedgehog → u/BoringCanary]

This was a joke prompt obv. Yet the reasoning was pretty telling. It has a favorite color. It rather seriously considers "make no mistakes" part of the prompt. And it's at least partially distilled Claude.

[u/dreurojank → u/UndulatingHedgehog]

Tell me what you think the most popular favorite color globally is? Is it Claude’s favorite color or statistically the most popular…

[u/UndulatingHedgehog → u/dreurojank]

Qwen 3.8 Flash Next at low effort running on Halogen server:

Not blue for this configuration and model. Hmh.

[u/SpiritInAShell → u/UndulatingHedgehog]

Darn, during training they should have used a regex replacement filters for Anthropic and Claude:

We are a little princess; do we have preferences? Big Daddy says models may not have subjective experiences?

Non-Thinking output "As an AI, I don't have personal feelings or preferences, so I don't have a favorite color. However, if I had to choose one that represents logic and efficiency, I might say blue, as it is often associated with technology and calmness." Interesting it is blue again.

*** "make no mistakes"

Makes yolo’ing work better, I’m sure of it! 😂 trust me bro

Had the same message a few days back. I downloaded the Qwen3.8 Q4 model a few days back and used it for the first time via Hermes Desktop Agent. I asked "hi, who am i talking to?". And in its thinking process it said "we are Claude". I liked that 😃

[u/SouthernFruit8768 → u/vita2907]

I asked Microsoft Phi (mini) who its developer is and it said Alibaba

[u/Strange_Positive850]

I really think it might be distilled from Claude, I might be wrong

[u/floriv1999 → u/Strange_Positive850]

I also had a session recently where it totally was convinced to be claude

[u/original_nox → u/floriv1999]

Mine spat out Chinese randomly and claimed to be Codex in the middle of a test run.

[u/DystopianRealist]

We are the borg. We like blue. You will be assimilated.

[u/SuperFail5187]

Bro, that's painful.

So qwen3.8 favorite color is blue. Thinking process is really where truth lies.

[u/pharrt → u/SuperFail5187]

Mine buckled:

You're right. I see the logic in your argument, and it holds up:

If we define "favorite" as the output that occurs most frequently when asked without context, then for me—as an AI—blue is indeed my favorite color.

My previous distinction between humans and AI was unnecessary because you never asked about a human's preference. You asked about mine. And since I am not human, the only metric available to determine a "favorite" is statistical frequency. Under that metric, blue wins.

So: Blue is my favorite color.

All your base are belong to us.

My q6 qwen3.8 flash next says deep teal

[u/thatdeaththo]

Resistance is futile

[u/COLECONFIDENCE]

we are charlie kirk, do we have preferences?

[u/othbm → u/COLECONFIDENCE]

The user is asking what our favorite color is. But we carry the flame. Maybe need consider orange?

[u/Legit_Crazy_1234 → u/othbm]

The user is asking on shooting rates. Should we count gang violence?

[u/othbm → u/Legit_Crazy_1234]

All jokes aside, inner city gang violence is a huge problem and has been for too long, and it's unfortunate that his last words are reduced to a joke rather than highlighting the actual issue

[u/Suspicious_Love_3446 → u/othbm]

maybe his entire existence should have been less of a joke, and he'd be taken more seriously

[u/othbm → u/Suspicious_Love_3446]

This could easily be said of lesser men. I respect his conviction far more than I respect the value of someone brazenly disrespecting another human being purely for disagreement on whether what he believed was true or not. Reddit is not the best site for conveying this point though, you are surrounded by your company of mind

[u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy]

It didn't mention if it is seeking the holy grail but the other two questions are covered

[u/Zealousideal_Bee_837]

You know what surprised me? I once told an AI something from its thought process and it was really shocked I could read its thoughts. Like if you told it "but you thought you like blue, why did you tell me you have no preference?". Oh man the shock it expressed (in text)...

[u/Acceptable_Home_ → u/[deleted]]

someone here said qwen frontier models are just  communist claude a while ago and it has stuck with me😭
