Greene's squabble with Grok happened after the Georgia lawmaker posted about her Christian faith on X, writing: "I'm a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus. I'm a nationalist, a proud American, who loves my country and wants to make our home nation is the best place for all American citizens and future generations to come." ...

Another X user ran Greene's post through Grok, asking the AI bot, "[I]s is true? Is she really a Christian?"

Grok responded by saying that while Greene "identifies as a Christian" by expressing her faith in Jesus Christ and having traditional beliefs, "her Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate."

If grok, the AI created and controlled by literal fascists, with explicit instructions about white genocide added to its system prompt, is too left leaning.... Maybe they should try making conservative AI by skipping the information feeding part. Maybe once they master computers feeling fear and disgust but no empathy we'll finally get a conservative-approved AI

Most right wingers tend to lack coherent ideology. Even AI struggles with politics driven by the specific lack of knowledge and understanding. AI has to treat words as if they have no meaning to produce something conservative-approved.

It's like they are so close to accidentally coming to the correct conclusion (though I'm sure they'll just ignore it).

But yes, this hit the nail on the head. The problem conservatives have with this is that it's fed on (mostly) real shit.

Conservative ai should be easy to make. Just have it reply "that's woke" to everything
