CWN Editor's Note: Writing for Crisis Austin Ruse—the president of the Center for Family and Human Rights—explains how he won an argument with Grok, the artificial-intelligence program.
When he discovered that Grok described him as having favored the criminalization of homosexuality, Ruse responded to the AI program, pointing out that the statement was inaccurate. After a few exchanges, Grok conceded that Ruse was correct, and amended the statement. When he tried the same with ChatGPT, another AI assistant, Ruse had a similar experience.
Ruse muses: “How is it possible that a machine can show reasonableness, yet individuals—i.e., editors at Wikipedia—never will?”
