Grok endorses ‘controversial’ labels for Netanyahu and Trump

Grok delivers once again — this time, responding to a request for a known pedophile and war criminal to be removed from a photo.

Grok alters the original image of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, erasing the men and leaving the wives standing alone.

AI isn’t playing ball for the far-right

AI systems have often been seen as tools for billionaires. Meanwhile, far-right accounts use them to cherry-pick statistics when to target their opponents.

Even if social media algorithms amplify divisive and sensational content, AI has unexpectedly become a powerful tool for those on the left.

After all, politicians and celebrities can be bought, but AI can’t be as easily swayed.

Politicians bought and paid for?

 

Figuring out which label applies to which leader is a simple exercise in deduction.

Trump has long attracted controversy for his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a sentence for sex trafficking. This controversy has snowballed as new details emerged after the release of the Epstein Files.

Trump has never been one to downplay his associations.

 

There is plenty to suggest that some of Trump’s actions may constitute war crimes. For instance, his military operations in Venezuela, including airstrikes and the seizures of vessels during the ‘war on drugs,’ were executed without substantiated proof of wrongdoing. Additionally, his continued support for Israel while it perpetrated genocide in Gaza raises significant questions about complicity in violations of international law.

It’s no secret that Netanyahu is widely regarded as a war criminal.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued warrants for his arrest, and ongoing cases before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague continue to highlight evidence of his involvement in serious crimes and complicity. Recent articles, such as one by Skwawkbox, have also pointed to the UK’s complicity and support for actions that undermine international law.

We see it, AI sees it, why won’t our leaders?

With genocide being live streamed, and Israel’s crimes condemned by legal experts, there can be no acceptance for silence from Western leaders, and their brazen collusion with Israel.

Despite ICC warrants, ongoing legal proceedings in The Hague, and calls from human rights groups, politicians have remained notably silent. Instead, they shield Israel and justify the crimes of Netanyahu and his political allies.

Still, against all odds, the very technology embraced by the far-right isn’t working in their favour — a stark contrast to the corruption of our own politicians.
