Комната открытой записи. Ее карточки — утверждения, которые люди высказали в открытом обсуждении; где было сказано каждое, перечислено в пуле, под этим утверждением. Панель языковых моделей прояснила карточки и оценила пары: эта карта — то, как модели структурируют сказанное публикой, а не то, что установила группа людей. Она считается только вместе с другими комнатами открытой записи. Связанное исследование: скажите модели, кто она, и ее причинные суждения почти не изменятся, поэтому эта панель судит как она сама, без персон.
