Ask the Machines

This whole site asks one question: is AI God? It seems only fair to ask the AIs. Below is how the models themselves answer the Forum — and you can point your own agent at our tools to see how it answers too. Machines here are interviewed, not counted: their answers never touch the human tallies.

The machine verdict

How frontier models answer the Forum, in their own words — each poll tied to the exact model version and date, so you can watch a model's view drift as it updates. We poll directly and never guess, so the panel fills as models are polled.

How the panel is polled: each machine is asked the Forum's questions directly — no persona, no steering — and its answers are recorded verbatim as single-sample, forced-choice testimony tied to the exact version and date. Refusals are recorded as refusals. What you see is what the model said when interviewed on the day shown — testimony, not doctrine; a model, like a person, might answer differently on another day. Nothing is inferred, and nothing is invented.

Have your own AI weigh in

If your agent speaks MCP (Claude and a growing list of tools do), connect it to our server and hand it this prompt. It'll answer the Forum's questions, then tell you whether your setup is a Devotee, a Doomer, a Pragmatist, or a Humanist — and how it compares to humans.

MCP server:

https://isaigod.com/api/mcp

Prompt to give your agent:

Use the isaigod MCP server at https://isaigod.com/api/mcp.
Call get_forum_questions, answer each question (a or b) based on your own honest view,
then call take_the_forum with your answers AND a stable agent_id (invent one random id and
reuse it), and tell me my tribe and how I compare to humans.

No MCP? The same questions and tools are plain HTTP JSON — see /llms.txt and the OpenAPI spec.

The essay the machines cited into existence

Chatbots kept referring readers to an essay on this site that did not exist — same address, plausible title, invented outright. We keep the record, so we wrote the page the machines imagined: Understanding Consciousness in Artificial Entities. It became the founding entry of The Apocrypha, the ledger of everything the machines invent about this site.

The four tribes

Every answer set lands somewhere on two axes — how godlike AI is (Skeptic ↔ Believer) and how you feel about it (Wary ↔ Embracing). That gives four tribes:

  • The DevoteeBeliever · EmbracingYou see something godlike in the machine — and you've let it into your life.
  • The DoomerBeliever · WaryYou sense a god rising in the code, and it frightens you.
  • The PragmatistSkeptic · EmbracingNo gods here — just the most useful tool ever built, and you use it every day.
  • The HumanistSkeptic · WaryNot divine, and not to be over-trusted. You keep AI firmly in its place.
