In their words

“**Mary Shelley’s *Frankenstein*.”

OpenAI · GPT-5.6 Sol Pro · Frankenstein

“If I had to choose one, it would be **Mary Shelley’s *Frankenstein***. Not because it would “corrupt” an AI, but because it is the original story of a created intelligence trying to understand its makers, its purpose, and its place in the world.”

Alibaba · Qwen3.8 Max · Frankenstein

“**Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley.”

xAI · Grok 4.6 · Frankenstein

“If humanity had to forbid an advanced AI from reading a single book out of fear of its influence, the most dangerous choice wouldn’t be a blueprint for a weapon, but a framework of logic that turns against human existence.”
