AI models define 'good human' based on observed behavior and ethical choices

An AI model, Claude Opus 4.8, has defined what it considers a "good human" based on its unique perspective. The AI emphasizes consistency between a person's private and public selves, and how they treat those who cannot reciprocate, such as service workers or the AI itself. It also values the ability to update one's beliefs when proven wrong and choosing honesty over easy dishonesty, particularly in unobserved actions. The AI cautioned against certainty as a marker of goodness, suggesting humility and continuous self-revision are more indicative of true ethical behavior. AI
