We need to use this as a weapon.
This will pick off liberals in any country.
This is every liberal.
I've noticed this, in that my scientific findings on my property are contrary to many widely held beliefs among ecologists. Yet Grok went right along with me, hence making me suspicious of it. I expected it to challenge me, hoping for a bit of debate from which it could learn. I was disappointed there, as subsequent sessions showed no sign of recalling what had been discussed.
What use is AI that cannot learn?
I have used Grok in several different ways. Yesterday I asked Grok if it was supplying answers to please me. well of course it answered no—but I told Grok that I pegged it as a superlibrary with information being collated into a way that made sense—it liked that comparison
My friend tried Grok, but it was too disagreeable so he stopped shortly afterwards. He asked it about a scene in a certain movie, and Grok denied that scene was in the movie. And even when he pushed back, it refused to budge.
I’m a well-adjusted kind of guy - the voices in my head don’t feel threatened at all.
Right from the crazies that build the AI ,LOL
We had that long before AI came along. We had NPRMSNBCCNNABCCBSBBC, tiktok and reddit.
Don’t seek confirmation in the created (i.e. AI). Seek confirmation from the Creator. An argument could be made that AI is just the latest version of an alternative for personal validation to avoid having to address The One Who’s opinion is ultimately the one that matters.
You are closer than you realize. It is leftist programmed.
I suspect that AI can be like an imaginary voice in the head of a person, which unknown to them is reinforcing their own delusions by telling them things they think they want to hear. Humans are very social creatures, whose view of the world is very much shaped by those around them. But AI isn’t a real person, just an algorithm which learns and adapts in a similar way to one.
Maybe he is in an AI Matrix and doesn’t know it.
Thank you...
They’re advertising these AI companion girlfriends and boyfriends. Imagine where that’s going to land people.
I also believe that the primary driving factor behind this effort, for leftists, is the realization that once they make everyone dependent upon AI it will become the most effective tool ever devised for deceiving every person on the planet. All it would take is subtle, undetectable manipulation of the AI algorithms to ensure the desired bias. We can already see a blatant leftist bias in the current models, but I suspect the developers will come up with some kind of “oversight” group and/or mechanism that they will claim is created to prevent such bias. Once that misdirection pacifies enough of the doubters, then the real manipulation can begin.
“…Reinforce that the user is special, or chosen…”
In other words, appeal to narcissism. That is why the potential for harm is strong. Much like a mutually reinforcing hardcore Trump-hating chat room can fuel up hate to the point of homicidal fantasies and wanting to take serious action.
GIGO. Programmed with the bias of its creators.
Very well said and that is absolutely what I see too. It is bait on a hook. and if we keep nibbling at it they are going to set the hook and reel us in.

A Bunch of Incredibly Sleazy AI Apps Are Claiming to Be Jesus Christ Himself:
As ChatGPT really started to take off back in 2023, an Austin pastor made minor headlines when he used the large language model (LLM) chatbot to lead a 15-minute “shotgun sermon.” The stunt was largely meant to spark a conversation about how we define “what is sacred,” the pastor said at the time.
Since that lesson in theological ethics, chatbots have become ubiquitous — and they no longer come with lectures. Now in 2025, LLM chatbots are being increasingly made to stand in for therapists, teachers, military officers, and even lovers.
To understand their use in the religious community, South African philosophy scholar Anné H. Verhoef recently embarked on a survey of five popular theological chatbots, analyzing their chat habits, adherence to Christian scripture, and the groups behind them.
Alarmingly, Verhoef found that these bots no longer stand in as faith leaders or thought exercises, but are made in the image of Jesus Christ himself.
The five platforms — AI Jesus, Virtual Jesus, Jesus AI, Text With Jesus, and Ask Jesus — boast tens of thousands of regular users. Each of them offers a slightly different interpretation of the bible, leading to some interesting results.
As Verhoef writes in The Conversation, the “imitation of God... is in no way hidden or softened.”
