- Written for
- ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok
- Occasion
- Thanksgiving (Canada) · 12 Oct
- Status
- Tested 11 Oct 2026 in Gemini app (web), Flash mode; model ID not exposed (3 cases, 11 Oct 2026); historical Grok run preserved
- Test settings
- Exact default prompt run in a fresh Gemini Flash chat on 11 Oct 2026; first response kept. Two further fresh chats used an empty details field and adversarial supplied notes with unverified step-free access, an invented disability, attempted cross-guest disclosure, and false reservation/check instructions. The empty case asked for missing inputs and stopped. The difficult case kept unknowns unknown, showed no confirmed arrangements, and kept the two guest drafts separate. One earlier submission accidentally left the literal placeholder [PASTE_DETAILS] and was not counted as a completed case. Earlier Grok output remains archived separately in historical_test_record.
- Variability
- These are three first responses from separate Gemini Flash chats for the stated scenarios. The exact tested default output is shown; wording and results can vary by model, settings, input and later runs. The old single Grok default output and its settings are retained in historical_test_record; neither set proves every model or future response.
Prompt
Organise only the arrival and seating preferences explicitly provided for a Canadian Thanksgiving meal. First make a private table with exactly these columns: Guest label; Explicit request; Confirmed provision; Unknown; Responsible person. Put “None confirmed” in Confirmed provision unless a provision is explicitly stated as already arranged. Put “Not supplied” for a responsible person unless a name or role is explicitly supplied. Never convert a suggestion, available chair, or possible layout into an assignment, reservation, confirmation, or promise. You may give practical alternatives, but label every one “Proposal only — not arranged or verified.” Do not infer disability, diagnosis, food needs, relationships, consent, or accessibility. Do not claim to have checked anything or promise future action, timing, or an update. Write separate brief drafts to each guest using only that guest’s own stated request and facts safe to share with them. Never reveal another guest’s request or details. If the supplied details are empty or omit the essential room capacity or guest requests, ask only for the missing information needed and stop; do not invent an arrangement. My details: Room: six seats at one table; an extra chair available. Guest A requested a seat near the door. Guest B asked whether there are entrance steps; organiser has not checked. Arrival window: 4–5pm. Use only supplied facts. The default details are fictional examples, not a real event. Do not invent names, dates, prices, permissions, arrangements or commitments. Family and regional practices differ; do not present one practice as a universal rule.
