AI is everywhere. Your mom is using it, your weird uncle can’t get enough of it, it’s taking over your Google searches. Artificial intelligence has

become so ubiquitous

that even your congresswoman might be crashing out publicly because an AI chatbot said something about her she didn’t like.

On Friday, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia (R)

started arguing with

Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, after responding to a user’s inquiry by challenging her commitment to Christianity.

@grok, the judgment seat belongs to God, not you—a non-human AI platform,” the congresswoman penned, originally directing her comments at the insensate conglomeration of algorithms designed to reproduce online content. This statement serves as the 2025 parallel to shouting at empty space.

“Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda. When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost,” she added.

Grok had written that while Greene “identifies as a Christian, expressing faith in Jesus and traditional” her “Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate.”

The bot added that “critics, including religious leaders, argue her actions contradict Christian values of love and unity, citing her defense of January 6 and divisive rhetoric” and that “supporters may see her stances as faith-driven.”

“Whether she’s ‘really’ a Christian is subjective, depending on personal and theological views. Her faith appears genuine to her, but public actions create controversy,” the AI wrote.

At its finest, Grok is,

a complete joke

And at its worst, it becomes a programmable misinformation device that Musk utilizes to disseminate his ideological nonsense to individuals unwilling to verify information independently. An alarming proportion of X users appear to believe that responding to posts with “@grok explain this” or “@grok is this true” serves as a suitable replacement for using their own cognitive abilities.

Most recently, Grok appeared to be programed to push conspiracy theories about white genocide in South Africa. The AI responded

It was brought up by diverting the discussion towards assertions of white genocide and sowing doubts.

xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence firm and the creator of Grok, subsequently

claimed

that the incident had occurred due to “an unauthorized modification,” which “directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic.”

The company claimed that the modification “violated xAI’s internal policies and core values,” but it’s hard to believe when Musk has himself been one of the

It’s evident that the output generated by Grok could be altered to align with the political views of stakeholders such as Musk. If Greene finds Grok’s characterization of her religious beliefs distressing, then she —

the head

The Congressional Department of Government Efficiency liaison committee shouldn’t face much difficulty in requesting Musk to redesign the problematic bot. However, genuinely altering her actions to match the principles she professes would be out of the question.
