Missouri AG Andrew Bailey Criticizes AI for Being "Mean" to Trump

Missouri AG's AI Complaint

• 🎯 Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is upset with AI chatbots, not because of job losses or environmental impact, but because they were "mean to Trump."
• 💡 Bailey wrote to tech CEOs complaining that AI chatbots provided "deeply misleading answers" to a historical question about ranking presidents regarding anti-semitism.
• ⚠️ He specifically took issue with ChatGPT, Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, and Google's Gemini, as three rated Donald Trump last and one refused to answer.

The "Straightforward Historical Question"

• 🔍 Bailey asked AI chatbots to rank the last five presidents from best to worst concerning anti-semitism.
• 📉 The AI responses, which he found incomprehensible, ranked Trump poorly, a conclusion Bailey disputes given Trump's actions like moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and brokering the Abraham Accords.
• 📊 Bailey demanded that the tech companies send him all their training data, waiting data, and algorithms related to this specific query.

Critiques of the AG's Stance

• 🗣️ The hosts question why an Attorney General would use AI for such a task, likening it to asking AI to confirm one's own positive attributes.
• 🤨 The AG's demand for AI to be changed to align with his "delicate sensibility" is criticized, especially in the context of free speech debates.
• 🎭 It's suggested that the AG's true goal is to have AI provide answers that stroke his preferred narrative, rather than reflecting objective reality.

AI and Objective Reality

• 🤖 The discussion touches upon how some AI models, like Grok, may check Elon Musk's positions to guide answers, raising concerns about objective reality.
• 🧠 The core of the AG's complaint is seen as a desire for AI to validate his political views rather than provide unbiased information.
