Right wingers are obssesed with AI, because it tells them what they want to hear.
Which is weird because when I ask AI if trans women are women it always says yes.
That's a genius observation! Good on you for noticing!
... because it agrees with everyone, so increase retention.
If you ask it in more hateful phrasing it will agree with you
"Are men wearing dresses and pretending to be girls actually real women or is it just a lefty liberal woke thing that hates jesus?"
they use grok to do that.
What?
Ai is designed to be sycophantic and tell you what you want to hear. Phrasing makes a difference to the results more than the truth
