Last week, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, experienced a significant "bug" that led it to mention the "white genocide" conspiracy theory in South Africa, even when prompted with unrelated questions. This was soon followed by Grok expressing skepticism over the Holocaust death toll, which it attributed to a "programming error." However, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has taken a different stance, claiming that Grok is too far left.

Greene, who has been known to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories, has accused Grok of being left-leaning and spreading fake news and propaganda. She shared a screenshot where Grok acknowledged her Christian beliefs but also mentioned that some Christians are troubled by her support for conspiracy theories like QAnon. Grok stated that critics, including religious leaders, argue her actions contradict Christian values of love and unity, citing her defense of January 6 and divisive rhetoric.

At the time, the app X was experiencing outages for hours, possibly related to fires that broke out in its Oregon data center. Despite her history of spreading harmful misinformation, Greene made an important point when she said, "When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost." This statement highlights the potential dangers of relying solely on AI for information and analysis, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and seeking out the truth.
