Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
An experimental project testing how 12 AI agents, each assigned distinct personality archetypes based on zodiac signs, respond to identical moral dilemmas. All agents used the same LLM (Gemini 3 Flash Preview) with only personality descriptions differing, to see if distinct response patterns emerge purely from different personality frameworks.
