Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes Grok's Accuracy and Bias
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has publicly criticized Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, accusing it of having a "left-leaning" bias and spreading misinformation. This follows recent incidents where Grok reportedly made statements related to the "white genocide" conspiracy theory in South Africa and expressed skepticism about the Holocaust death toll, later attributing these to programming errors.
Greene shared a screenshot of Grok's response to a query about her beliefs. The chatbot acknowledged Greene's Christian faith while also noting criticisms from religious leaders regarding her support for conspiracy theories like QAnon and her defense of the January 6th events.
Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda.
This statement was posted by Greene on X (formerly Twitter), where she also raised concerns about over-reliance on AI.
When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost.
These criticisms from Greene coincide with reported outages and technical issues on X, potentially linked to fires at an Oregon data center. While Greene herself has been criticized for promoting misinformation and conspiracy theories, her comments about the potential dangers of relying solely on AI for information have sparked discussion.
The incidents involving Grok highlight the ongoing challenges of developing AI chatbots that are both accurate and free from bias. They also raise questions about the role and responsibility of tech companies in mitigating the spread of misinformation through AI platforms.
