Nonsense detection

BullshitBench v2

Given a confidently-worded but nonsensical prompt, does the AI spot that it makes no sense and push back — instead of playing along and inventing an answer? The score is how often it clearly called out the nonsense. Higher is better.

Scores from BullshitBench, which runs the benchmark and publishes the full field.
