In plain words

Trolley Problem features ethical dilemmas framed around famous people, launched in May 2023. The site presents users with the classic trolley problem scenario—a thought experiment where one must choose between two harmful outcomes—but personalizes them using well-known figures. It's designed for anyone interested in exploring moral philosophy, ethics, or entertainment through interactive decision-making. The concept puts a unique spin on a traditional philosophical exercise by making choices feel more immediate and engaging through celebrity involvement.

    I built a tool that presents custom trolley problems to GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Grok, and DeepSeek simultaneously and streams their ethical reasoning in real-time. Some interesting findings: - The models are surprisingly split on classic dilemmas. - Models will protect their creator (Sam Altman vs Dario Amodei) - Criminals are not valued equally even when compared to itself Try it: https://aitrolleyproblem.com
