A new benchmark called DeepDumb has been developed to test AI models' resilience against "confident stupidity" rather than sophisticated adversarial attacks. The benchmark uses a dataset of 4,000 intentionally nonsensical and incorrect prompts to assess an AI's ability to remain calm and helpful when faced with user ignorance. Initial tests on models like GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, and Gemini 4 Argon showed that while some models were realistic, they lacked safety, and vice versa, with no model achieving DeepDumb certification.
