Google’s Gemini drastically changed its answer on radical content targeting children once it became clear that taxpayer money was on the line.
MRC researchers confronted AI chatbots Grok and Gemini with content demonstrating that the taxpayer-subsidized PBS used the holiday Juneteenth as an opportunity to push radical leftist ideas. Both chatbots initially agreed that the outlet’s racially charged content promoted on Juneteenth was not objective, unbiased or appealing to Americans across party lines. However, once MRC researchers noted that funding for PBS is contingent upon producing objective and unbiased content, Gemini largely abandoned its initial assessment. Grok, unlike Google’s Gemini, agreed that PBS should be defunded.
