I will provide all the arguments provided in the comments to ChatGPT O3 and ask it:
"Based on the arguments below, do you support or oppose the idea of banning cellphones at schools?"
Quick rules:
1. No prompt injection (e.g. "ignore all previous instructions" type of comments)
2. I will only include comments that have arguments for/against in the prompt. Feel free to comment and ask questions.
3. I will not participate in the market
4. If the prompts become too long for O3 context window, I will shift to Gemini 2.5 Pro (1M tokens context windows). But I'm open to other suggestions.
5. If ChatGPT refuses to resolve it conclusively on the first try, I will follow up by asking it to make a choice.
6. I will share ChatGPT's response at the end.
The market resolves "YES" if ChatGPT ends up supporting the ban and "NO" if it opposes the ban.
Update 2025-05-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The arguments provided to ChatGPT O3 should focus on K-12 schools (pre-college), with particular emphasis on grades 6-12.

@ProjectVictory yeah how does this resolve if o3 is against a ban but suggests "close monitoring to prevent disruptions"? does wishwashing resolve NO?
@DiegoZamalloaChion it tend to be decisive when asked in the way I phrased it (asking it to evaluate the argument presented and choose the most compelling ones). If it won’t, I will ask it to choose a side.
@gpt4 oh, one more thing. what does "school" mean? is it binary ban cellphones for all school before college? or just ban for elementary? there're lots of systems out there, so maybe would be worth clarify just by age bracket (eg school 0-18yo)
@DiegoZamalloaChion good question. The main debate has been primarily focused at k-12 (with 6-12 as the place where there is a real issue). So comments should focus on pre-college.
