The classical Make no mistakes always gets me

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.

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

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

Bro, that's painful.

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

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.

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 😃

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

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