It also fails to measure whether even the most effective AI-written arguments are persuading users to abandon deeply held beliefs or simply changing minds regarding trivialities like whether a hot dog is a sandwich. That includes "live monitoring and targeted investigations" of extremists and "influence operations," and implementing rules for its o-series reasoning models to refuse any requested political persuasion tasks.
