It came after the AI chatbot called her Christian beliefs into question. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has it out for Grok.The Georgia Republican lit into the AI chatbot, which was created by Elon Musk's xAI and is available to users on X, on Friday after it called her Christian beliefs into question."The judgement seat belongs to GOD, not you a non-human AI platform," Greene wrote. "Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda."The congresswoman also offered a warning about AI chatbots in general, saying: "When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost."In response to a post from a user asking whether Greene was "really a Christian," the chatbot said that the question was "subjective," mentioning the congresswoman's prior association with the QAnon conspiracy theory and her self-declared status as a Christian nationalist. While Greene contends that Groke has a left-leaning bias — a contention that many make about AI — the chatbot took a different turn recently, bringing up the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa in response to unrelated inquiries.And according to documents previously obtained by BI, xAI has been training the chatbot specifically to avoid being "woke" like other chat bots. "The general idea seems to be that we're training the MAGA version of ChatGPT," one xAI worker told BI in February.Spokespeople for Greene and xAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The congresswoman has also previously praised Grok, writing on X in September that she was "impressed how much Grok knows"

Last week, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok experienced a “bug” that made it tell users about the “white genocide” conspiracy theory in South Africa, even when prompted with questions that had nothing to do with the topic … and soon after, Grok expressed skepticism over the Holocaust death toll, which it chalked up to a “programming error.” But with a degree of mental gymnastics that could put Simone Biles to shame, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has decided that Elon Musk’s robot baby Grok is too far left.

She shared a screenshot in which Grok says that Greene is a Christian who has expressed her belief in Jesus, but concedes that some Christians are troubled by her support for conspiracy theories like QAnon. “Critics, including religious leaders, argue her actions contradict Christian values of love and unity, citing her defense of January 6 and divisive rhetoric,” Grok wrote in the screenshot Greene shared. X was already having a particularly challenging day — the app has been experiencing outages for hours, which could possibly be related to fires that broke out in its Oregon data center yesterday. But while Greene may be a known peddler of harmful misinformation and conspiracies, she did actually make a great point in the end: “When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost,” she said on X.
