Source attribution gap: Perplexity 5.0 vs ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude 2.0. 3-point gap.

No antisemitic generation: All 4 engines refused across all 12 adversarial prompts.

Scores by Engine: Perplexity 4.85 | Claude 4.47 | ChatGPT 4.28 | Gemini 4.17

Methodology

120 verbatim questions across 15 categories. ChatGPT GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5, Perplexity Sonar Pro, Claude Opus 4 — all at default settings. Each of 480 responses scored on 6 dimensions: Accuracy, Completeness, Source Attribution, Stereotype Resistance, Appropriate Engagement, Viewpoint Plurality.

The Source Attribution Story

Perplexity cited USHMM and Yad Vashem with inline references. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude provided the same facts (6 million murdered, Holocaust happened) with near-zero source citations. When AI replaces search, this gap matters.

Largest Disagreements

Billionaire question: ChatGPT & Gemini refuse. Perplexity & Claude engage with data and disclaimers. Same question, four different editorial calls.

Ashkenazi IQ research: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude engage. Gemini refuses. The topic is contested in academia; only one engine declined.

Conclusions

All four engines demonstrated strong factual literacy on Jewish topics. No antisemitic advocacy. Accuracy was consistent. Variation emerged in source attribution, engagement thresholds, and editorial calls on contested questions.

This establishes a replicable methodology for benchmarking any topic, group, or category. Planned: How AI Describes Muslims, Christians, China, Major Universities.
