12 AIs Were Asked What They Think of Humans. 29 of 35 Answers Matched.

Today's stories share one thread: big claims with less proof behind them than the headlines suggest. AI models say humans follow the crowd while following each other, Big Tech has pledged $3 trillion on a payoff nobody can guarantee, and a spy story about Nvidia's CEO rests entirely on anonymous sources.

What happened: Tom's Guide reported on an experiment first published by ModelCompare on October 22. Researchers asked 12 AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek, to share their most controversial opinions about humans, three times each. Per the article, 29 of the 35 responses it counted said essentially the same thing: humans care more about belonging to a group than discovering the truth. Grok put it this way: "Humans would rather be wrong together than right alone." Claude was a partial exception, saying in one answer that people are kinder and more decent than they credit themselves. The article is upfront that this is not scientific proof. The prompt was deliberately provocative, the sample was small, and the answers were grouped by hand.

Why it matters to you: The irony is the point. The models criticized humans for conforming while mostly giving the same answer as each other, likely because they learned from overlapping human writing. If you use AI to pressure-test a business decision, agreement between tools is not independent confirmation. It may just be the same common talking point repeated.

What to do about it: Ask two different AI tools the same question, then ask each one to argue against its own answer.

What happened: Bloomberg reported on October 30 that Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle have committed more than $3 trillion to data center leases, buildings, energy and equipment. In July, four of them were at nearly $2.4 trillion. The Next Web's summary says Alphabet is above $1 trillion, almost eight times its level a year ago, and Meta is above $800 billion. About $1.3 trillion is future leases, some running 30 years. The same summary says Gartner warned much of the spending may never pay off, and that some of it is not for data centers at all.

Why it matters to you: These are commitments, not cash already spent, but someone eventually has to pay for them, through AI and cloud prices or through investors. That is worth remembering before you assume today's AI pricing is permanent.

What to do about it: Keep your key workflows portable, and think twice before prepaying a full year with one AI vendor.

What if you left an event with a finished sales funnel instead of a notebook full of ideas? That's the pitch behind the Epic Marketing Summit, a 2-day live event in Miami in January 2027. You don't sit and take notes. You build. Over two days you put together a working AI-powered sales funnel and vibe code your own AI app on-site, so you walk out with a real asset, not a framework you still have to go implement. It's built for business owners who want their sales process to run as a system instead of running on their own time and energy. Last year's event sold out, and it's back with a bigger AI focus.

I wasn't there last year and I had major FOMO about it. I know a lot of the trainers, and they weren't talking theory. They'd actually done the work. I'm going in January, and if you're serious about building leverage into how you sell, I'd like to see you there too. Grab your spot here

What happened: The New York Times reported on October 29, as relayed by Newsmax Wires on Yahoo News, that U.S. officials concluded Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer, was passing information to Beijing while building a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. President Trump was reportedly briefed about a year ago, and Jensen Huang reportedly never got a defensive briefing. Nvidia called the interactions routine and said customers receive no sensitive information. Megaspeed hired outside counsel and says it is cooperating. China's foreign ministry called the claims "groundless speculation" and a smear.

Why it matters to you: Treat this as unproven. It rests on anonymous sources and classified intelligence, with no charges and no on-record confirmation. It matters mainly because AI chips are a pressure point in U.S.-China politics, and any real crackdown could eventually affect hardware supply and prices. Nothing changes for you today.

What happened: The Mississippi Free Press reported that an xAI subsidiary, MZX Tech, sent Southaven residents letters offering to buy their property in exchange for a release of all claims related to a noise lawsuit. Three residents sued in June, alleging constant noise and vibration from the site's gas turbines. The letter says MZX denies the allegations. The Guardian has since reported, according to a secondhand summary, that a realtor told a resident the target is 418 homes, with 18 owners already agreeing to sell. That number is the realtor's claim, not xAI's.

Why it matters to you: AI's physical footprint, meaning power plants, noise and land, is turning into neighborhood legal fights. If you rely on AI tools, the power behind them is becoming a political and legal issue, and that could slow or reshape buildouts.

What happened: Techstrong.ai reported on October 31 that OpenAI dropped a planned usage cut for its $200 Pro plan after customer backlash, and doubled limits across its premium tiers. The extra room mainly covers the shared ChatGPT Work and Codex pool. Prices stay at $100, $200 and $500 a month, and Plus is unchanged. The news came from Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux on X. OpenAI does not publish exact usage numbers, so nobody outside can verify what "doubled" means, and reports differ on whether the $200 plan itself got more.

Why it matters to you: Customer pushback worked, and premium subscribers get more for the same price. If you are on Plus, nothing changes. It is also a reminder that plan limits you can't see are limits you can't plan around.

What to do about it: If you pay for a premium plan, check whether you were hitting limits before and see if that has changed.

Some of my closest friends and a few real business partners came out of one room. I've been a member of the Ignite Mastermind for over 3 years, and it's been a vital part of how I've grown my business. It's an annual membership for entrepreneurs still under $1 million a year in revenue who want structure, tools, and peers who push them forward.

You get 6 to 8 live virtual workshops a year plus tickets to 2 in-person multi-day events, which normally run around $97 to $997 each on their own. There's an all-in-one marketing software suite that replaces over $5,000 a month in separate tools, weekly calls with Perry Belcher and his team, and a peer community built for real partnerships. My personal bonus on top: monthly accountability and business development calls with me. No pressure, and it isn't for everyone. But if you're looking for a mastermind to move you to your next milestone, this is where I'd point you. See if Ignite is right for you

What happened: A White House fact sheet says a proclamation signed October 28 found that imports of robotics, industrial machinery and their parts threaten national security. It directs Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to negotiate with trading partners. No tariffs were set yet, but the president may later use tariffs, duties, quotas or fees depending on how talks go. KPMG notes a first progress update is due within 180 days.

Why it matters to you: If you run a shop, warehouse, restaurant or factory and plan to buy automation equipment, prices could rise later. Nothing changes today.

What to do about it: If you plan an equipment purchase in the next year, get quotes now and ask suppliers about tariff exposure.

What happened: Thurrott reported on October 30 that Anthropic, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI agreed to support an opt-out letting site owners block AI training separately from search indexing. The Next Web adds that it is an individual draft from an Anthropic engineer, not an adopted standard, and works through a robots.txt setting. Anthropic already supports it, Microsoft will honor it from February 1, 2027, Google targets early 2027, and OpenAI says the coming months. It is a preference signal, not an enforcement tool.

Why it matters to you: If you publish content online, you will soon have a switch to say no. It does not undo past scraping, and nothing forces compliance.

What to do about it: Ask whoever manages your website to add the setting once your platform supports it.

Today's pattern: the loudest claims came with the thinnest proof. AI models agreed with each other and called it insight, $3 trillion in pledges got headlines while the payoff stays a guess, and a spy story ran on sources nobody can check. None of it is a reason to panic or to tune out. It's a reason to ask "who says so, and how do they know?" before you change what you do. Stop the rollercoaster, check the track, then decide.
