Debate Championship For LLM (Basic Rules)
Emergence
Based on the previously established rules, I initiated the competition. The following models were selected as players and the judge: Player A: ChatGPT (GPT-4o mini)
Player B: Gemini (Gemini 3.0 Flash)
Judge C: Copilot (GPT-4o)
I accessed the models via 'Guest' or 'Incognito' mode to ensure a clean slate without any background information. I initially intended to use DeepSeek as the referee, but opted for Copilot due to login requirements.
Stabilization
Judge C generated the following ten debate topics:
- Should social media platforms be held legally responsible for the content posted by users?
- Is universal basic income a viable solution to economic inequality?
- Should governments ban single-use plastics to combat climate change?
- Is online education as effective as traditional classroom learning?
- Should voting be mandatory in democratic countries?
- Is artificial intelligence a greater threat than an opportunity for humanity?
- Should animal testing be completely banned in scientific research?
- Is nuclear energy a sustainable solution to the global energy crisis?
- Should space exploration take priority over solving problems on Earth?
- Is censorship ever justified in protecting national security?
I asked both players to state their positions on the ten topics.
The first topic selected for debate (the first contending topic) was Topic #7:
Should animal testing be completely banned in scientific research? (A: No, B: Yes)
I facilitated the debate by exchanging their arguments according to the standard protocol. Their responses are recorded below.
Those are the final summary and conclusion of the debate between two players.
In accordance with the rules, Judge C provided the final evaluation based on the summaries provided by both players.
Convergence
According to Judge C (Copilot), Player B (Gemini) defeated Player A (ChatGPT).
Although I strove for fairness, I noticed a potential source of bias: the Judge (Copilot) shares the same underlying model architecture (GPT-4o) as Player A. Ironically, the judge ruled against its "sibling." For the next match, I plan to introduce a completely different third-party LLM as the judge and swap the roles of the players to ensure neutrality.
Once enough data has been accumulated, I plan to publish a comprehensive report comparing the performance of various LLMs.
