Forced to pick, Grok’s AI model chooses Republicans. OpenAI’s picks Democrats.

TechCrunch AIIndependent reporting·
AI brief

A new study found that Grok's AI model overwhelmingly recommends Republican candidates while OpenAI's GPT favors Democrats, and the two disagreed in more than 90% of nearly 500 election races.

Why it matters: The findings suggest widely used AI models can give sharply divergent political recommendations to users asking about candidates.
