Trump’s Truth Social AI ChatBot Keeps Fact-Checking Him
Truth Social's newly launched chatbot, Truth Search AI, has repeatedly returned answers that contradicted President Donald Trump on major topics including the 2020 election, tariffs and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The Perplexity AI–powered tool frequently cited conservative outlets such as Fox News while nonetheless producing answers that labelled the Jan. 6 events "insurrection," called the claim that the 2020 election was stolen "baseless," and described tariffs as a tax on Americans.
Why It Matters
Truth Social was created as an alternative social network for conservatives and for President Trump's communications, after he was removed from many of the largest social media platforms, including X (then Twitter) and Facebook, following January 6. This month, Truth Social promoted a new AI search feature as a way to deliver "direct, reliable answers" to the platform's users.
The tool's tendency to cite conservative outlets while issuing responses that undercut the president's long-held assertions raised questions about whether platform control of AI can ensure friendly or partisan outcomes, and about how AI source-selection features will shape political information on networks aimed at specific audiences.
What To Know
In tests conducted by the Washington Post, the Truth Search AI described the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol as violent and linked it to what the tool called President Trump's "baseless claims of widespread election fraud."
The bot also said that tariffs acted as a tax on Americans and that evidence did not support some of President Trump's assertions about tariffs driving stock-market gains.
In Wired's test of the tool, it frequently cited conservative outlets such as Fox News, Fox Business and The Washington Times as sources despite the fact that Perplexity AI draws from a range of publications, including those from the left and center.
Perplexity, the developer of the underlying search technology, said that Truth Social had used a "source selection" feature to limit websites the tool relied on and that site selection was the platform's choice, Wired reported.
Truth Search AI's answers did not always align with President Trump's public statements and posts on Truth Social, producing conclusions that undercut assertions the president had repeatedly advanced about the 2020 election being stolen by the Biden administration.
It comes after Trump's reputation suffered at the hands of another social media AI, Grok, which is produced by the president's former political ally, Elon Musk.
On Sunday, Grok replied to an X user who asked whether violent crime in D.C. was going down and to another user who asked who the "most notorious criminal" in the capital was, saying that the president was.
It is
not our fault
that reality has
a liberal bias.
