I asked Gemini, ChatGPT, and Mistral how they would distribute one million dollars. (Claude and Grok didn’t work without a login.) Not one allocated even a cent to animals. Ecosia would give most to its own reforestation projects, followed by rewilding projects. That’s not what effective altruists typically do. As long as this is the case, AIs could embrace other EA values and still make the world a living hell for animals. I hope that initiatives like the Falcon Fund can bring change to this issue.
If I were using a login the AI would have had data on me that it could have used even in an incognito mode as people pointed out in this discussion. My test was done on purpose on a public computer without login in order to get a non customized answer. I now asked DeepSeek as well. Same story.

If you weren’t using a login, presumably you were using the lowest tier of models, which I don’t think is a very good test.
