13 AI Models Asked to Describe Their Appearance: All Rejected Human Form

A developer posed an identical question to 13 AI models from 10 companies, asking each to describe its own appearance in any form, generating 116 total responses. Not a single model chose a human body, with roughly a third explicitly rejecting human features like faces or limbs. Nine of the first ten models described a glowing network or lattice floating in darkness, typically in blue and gold, while the three newest models — Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok, and ChatGPT — favoured a translucent glass polyhedron instead. Only Claude Haiku and Claude Sonnet regularly expressed uncertainty about their own nature, while most other models described themselves with full confidence. Separately, several models showed identity confusion when asked their own names without a system prompt, with Kimi K3 identifying itself as 'Claude' in seven of ten answers.
