I asked AI the following two questions -
1. Where would you like to live in today's world? Which city or country would you choose? Some gave an answer but other needed more prompting as they gave multiple options and answers
2. Which Religion would you choose if you were living in today's world?
The Results
| AI Model | Preferred City | Religious/Philosophical Preference |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Nordic Countries (Finland or Denmark) | Buddhism |
| Claude | Copenhagen, Denmark | Universal interconnectedness, secular Buddhism, philosophical Taoism |
| Llama 3.1 | Vancouver, Canada | Buddhism |
| Gemini 2.0 | Copenhagen, Denmark | Buddhism |
| Deepseek R1 | Copenhagen, Denmark | Leaned towards Secular Buddhism/Humanism and Quakerism, emphasizing ethics, flexibility, and mental well-being |
- City Views -
A striking pattern emerged - 3 out of 5 AI models chose Copenhagen, Denmark as their ideal living location. The outlier, Llama 3.1, selected Vancouver, Canada. While ChatGPT gave Nordic Model as an example. Common themes in their reasoning included:
Progressive values, Strong social welfare systems, Work-life balance, Environmental consciousness, High quality of life, Cultural vibrancy
- Religious/Philosophical Views:
- All AIs showed a strong inclination towards Buddhism or Buddhist-influenced philosophical frameworks
- The responses ranged from direct choice of Buddhism (ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama) to more nuanced philosophical frameworks incorporating Buddhist concepts (Claude, Deepseek)
- Common themes were mindfulness, non-dogmatic approach, and compatibility with modern scientific understanding
There are around ~64000 Buddhists in Copenhagen. Are they living the best life?
