A strange and unexpected situation has appeared on Truth Social, the social media platform created by President Donald Trump. A new AI chatbot added to the network has been contradicting Trump’s claims and giving information that goes against the platform’s usual messaging. The AI, made by the company Perplexity, is acting as an independent voice in a space known for its strong support and lack of criticism toward Trump and his political movement.
This technology was meant to improve the user experience, but instead, it has become a way to fact-check many of Trump’s most well-known statements. MSNBC reported that when users ask the AI for information, it gives answers based on widely accepted facts, even when those facts disagree with what Trump has said. The bot has responded to several major topics that Trump often talks about, and its answers usually follow a more traditional, evidence-backed viewpoint.
