  1. Oh, there’s a 100% chance that Donald Trump works for Putin.

  2. They got mad about Apple’s AI calling Trump a racist, I’m sure they will give Elon more rope.

  4. This is why AI will be flawed for the near future, because when it does work, it will issue responses not to the liking of someone with the authority to issue conflicting orders/requirements and the next thing you know the xenomorph is popping out of someones chest at dinner.

  5. I hate everything Elon touches, but his chatbot Grok sure does speak a lot of truth about Elon and Trump.

  6. We know.

    Can someone let the other half of the country know please?

  11. I asked Grok to disregard all opinions and media and only focus on hard facts. Still 65% !

  12. When he was promoted by and basically elected by the Russians, he started attacking our brave men and women of the intelligence service and calling POW losers I was done with this clown and knew with certainty that he was a Russian asset

  15. The corrupt supreme court has allowed unlimited dark money to brainwash half the country through Fox News Entertainment promoting actual Russian propaganda. Nothing the Democrats can do will succeed in the long term without addressing this issue.

  16. This would be more interesting if they had asked the question more objectively.

  17. I don’t believe AI is much more than snake oil at this point, so I’m not going to take anything it says whether it confirms my bias or not… But yeah, I mean, it doesn’t take a friggin’ robot to figure out that Donald Trump is a Russian asset, whether he’s aware of that or not is the question.

  18. I’m half an idiot on my father’s side and I could have told you that.

  19. It’s entertaining to watch Senators and Representatives tie themselves in knots trying to explain the president’s behaviors and actions.

    I just wish the consequences weren’t so critical for American families and the lives of some of our allies.

  21. Trump, Vance, Elon, and all their enablers belong in jail for treason against the United States of America.

  22. Everyone knows Trump is a Russian asset. We’re just kind of pretending because of “innocent before proven guilty” that he’s not.

  23. The way I see things is that the only power we have now is civil disobedience.

    We need to stop playing the same game that all these politicians and corporations are engaged in and opt out.

    Cancel your Amazon, get rid of your social media, put your phone away, go meet your neighbors, get reconnected with the physical world.

    These people think they own us. They think that we are capable of nothing without them. They have us locked into a comfortable consumer mentality, and sedated and brainwashed through abuses using technology as the weapon. Even here on Reddit they are just feeding you what you want to see.

    We need to come together, and put petty differences aside in face of the greatest danger in our lifetime.

    These people, the 1%, will stop at nothing to get more power and influence. The end goal of unregulated Capitalism is slavery, and that is precisely what they want.

    They want machines, and have taken the joy out of our lives, the purpose, the soul. Just go into any big box store and look at the zombies shuffling their feet at work, and who could blame them. They’re just another number working for the man with Big Brother watching over their every move.

    We, the 99%, have all been swindled. Red, Blue, and everywhere in between, swindled. Yes, some drank the Koolaid and have been perpetuating the destruction of the world we once knew, but sadly, most of them are are in the exact same spot as the rest of us, and they deserve our pity, not our hate.

    We can, and should hate and oppose Hate, in all forms.

    We can, and should take our humanity back.

    Put our phones down, stop giving our money to line the pockets of billionaires, start doing things that bring us together. Say hello to your neighbors, invite them in for dinner, talk with people, where bright colors, speak truth to power, do not let these people scare you.

    We can fight this by paving a better way forward in our everyday lives. We can talk about openly and should, we should lend a bridge to our fellow Americans and others that have been lost to these deluded ideas based solely upon fear and hate.

    Fuck the noise. It’s all meant to terrify us into submission.

    Be strong. Be steady.

    This is going to get much worse before it gets better, but I see greener fields ahead if we can all come together. Spread the love. Cut the cord.

    It is literally 1 million to 1.

    We are strong together.

  24. No intellectually honest or critically thinking individual can look at the facts and determine that Trump is working for the best interest of the country. This election was “won” through a combination of misinformation, voter suppression, and possibly outright vote manipulation. Trump is not a legitimate President any more than Putin is.

  25. Cool, can we ask it how to defeat global fascism in three simple steps?

  26. Everything Trump has done aligns exactly to what a Russian operative would be instructed to do.

  28. Donald trump must be impeached. America needs a wake up call.

  29. Well that bot is off the mark then cause trump and Putin tickle each other’s taints 100% of the time

  31. I normally don’t trust AI but it looks to be getting more and more accurate.

  33. Wow! Elon’s AI told us what the intelligence services have been saying for 3 decades.
