Having previously explored the FutureHouse Platform’s agents in tasks such as identifying tailor-made laws and generating a literature review on legislative backsliding, we now directly compare its Falcon agent and OpenAI’s o3. Our aim was to assess their performance on a focused literature search task: compiling a ranked
Can a generative AI model perform critical discourse analysis at a level comparable to a trained scholar? This case study puts OpenAI’s o3 model to the test by asking it to analyse Tony Blair’s 1996 “stakeholder economy” speech—a foundational text in New Labour rhetoric. The model'
Can a generative AI model systematically identify and structure philosophical arguments from classic political texts? In this post, we put OpenAI’s o3 model to the test by applying it to a foundational work in early modern political thought: John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government. Focusing on Chapter II
Can a language model reason like a philosopher—not just mimic their tone, but follow and evaluate arguments with analytic precision? To explore this, we designed a two-step prompt experiment using Robert Nozick’s famous “Experience Machine” thought experiment. First, we instructed OpenAI’s o3 model to adopt the persona
This case study examines the capabilities of OpenAI’s o3 model in interpreting and critically analysing classical philosophical texts. As of today, it is the most advanced language model released by OpenAI in terms of reasoning performance, and is particularly well-suited to delivering deeper comprehension and structured explanation of complex
