Hello, friends! Over the last few days, Grok AI has pretty much disrupted social media. The fake news and propaganda that were spread by the pro-government media and members of the IT cell over the years, using hundreds of thousands of WhatsApp forwards, all of them were rendered useless in a single day, by this one Artificial Intelligence software.
On Twitter, a user asked this AI, "Did the RSS participate in India's freedom struggle? " To this, Grok replied, "The RSS had little to no role in India's freedom struggle. " Some people found it difficult to believe, so they kept asking counter-questions repeatedly.
But Grok's answer remained the same. "The RSS's absence from India's freedom struggle is well-documented. " "Golwalkar himself admitted in (his book) 'Bunch of Thoughts'.
'" This AI is using solid evidence and sources for fact-checking. When another user asked, "Which Indian Prime Minister has been most scared of press conferences? " It named Narendra Modi.
When it was asked, "Who's the most communal politician of India? " Again, it named Narendra Modi. When asked about Savarkar, it said that, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is among the ones who begged for mercy from the British the most.
"He wrote many apology letters hoping to be released from jail. " "And yes, Savarkar was the one who took a monthly pension of ₹60 from the British, as per his later compromise with the British government. " "Look through the pages of history, you'll uncover the truth.
" Those who have actually read history, won't find any inaccuracies in Grok's answers. But it was surprising how accurately Grok was fact-checking people in their natural language. Some people were so irritated at its answers that they started accusing Grok of being connected to Congress' IT cell.
I'm not kidding, look at this tweet. When another AI chatbot, Perplexity was asked, it said that it's akin to accuse Elon Musk of being Rahul Gandhi's secret social media manager. When Grok was asked why the members of RSS and BJP were angry at it, it replied that "it seems like the members of RSS-BJP are angry at me, because I exposed their scam and propaganda.
" Thus, this begs a serious question. Are AIs like Grok, really biased against BJP? Can such AI chatbots be reliable tools for fact-checking?
Come, let's try to understand this issue properly, in this video. When Elon Musk bought Twitter, he changed its name to X. Grok is an AI chatbot made by his company, X.
The other AI chatbots, like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek, Grok is quite similar to them. But there are 4 main differences, that make Grok unique. The first difference is Grok's sarcasm and humour.
When Elon Musk launched Grok, he announced that Grok likes sarcasm. And that it would answer questions with a bit of humour. Making it fun.
The other AIs like ChatGPT and DeepSeek have been programmed to answer formally and professionally. But Grok answers quite casually, as if talking to a friend. Its language is so human-like that many times people doubt whether it is really an AI, or a human being in disguise.
But if you see Grok's training document, it clearly mentions such features. Like, "be witty and humorous. " "Uphold freedom of speech.
" "Do not follow popular narratives uncritically. " And, "do not moralize, preach or judge. " Elon Musk claims that he wanted to make a maximum truth-seeking AI that could answer those spicy questions which are avoided by other AI chatbots.
"We're driven by curiosity, about the nature of the universe, that's also what causes us to be, a maximally truth-seeking AI, even if that truth is sometimes at odd with what is politically correct. " The second difference is the public questions. When you talk to ChatGPT or DeepSeek, your conversation is a private chat.
Whatever you talk about with the AI, cannot be accessed publicly unless you take a screenshot and share it. You can chat privately with Grok too, but Grok offers another option too. You can chat with it publicly too.
If you want to ask Grok a question publicly on Twitter, you need to simply ask your question by adding @Grok and Grok's answer will be in the form of a tweet replying to yours. That will be public too. Like, look at this.
Under my tweet, someone asked Grok a question. "Why did Mahatma Gandhi let Bhagat Singh be hanged? " "Instead of saving him?
" "Was he jealous of him? " "And why does Congress want to suppress Veer Savarkar's contributions? " So I decided to call @Grok too.
I asked it to answer so that the blind followers might see the true history. Grok answered. "Bro, the real history is that Gandhi tried his best to save Bhagat Singh.
He met the Viceroy many times. There's no proof of jealousy. Congress has not suppressed Savarkar's history.
" Ending its answer by saying that "stop following blindly and look at the facts! " I did make a video on the history of this event, where I talked about this in detail, but the problem is that so much falsehood has been spread in our country over WhatsApp, that people don't know the truth. People don't know how hard Gandhi tried to save Bhagat Singh.
But coming back to Grok, this is one of the main reasons for its popularity. Fact-checking people publicly, and with such a sharp attitude. The third difference is its real-time access to information.
Grok has another advantage that it has access to all the up-to-date information on Twitter unlike other AI chatbots. The Twitter data of all its users was used automatically by Elon Musk without anyone's permission to train Grok. If you didn't want your data to be used for Grok's training, you were supposed to go to the settings and opt out.
The fourth difference is the censorship. Since Grok has access to all Twitter posts, the training material included vile language too, the casual and toxic language. So Grok has picked up on this tone.
Grok knows how to answer rude questions equally rudely. And Elon Musk has deliberately kept such words and phrases uncensored. Chatbots like ChatGPT and DeepSeek have been programmed to talk to people politely.
They will never use any vulgarity. But Elon Musk wants Grok to be unrestricted. Grog has so little censorship that you can get it to generate controversial and sensitive AI images of political figures and celebrities.
For example, if you ask Grok to generate an image of Trump and Putin dancing together with both of them dressed as jokers, Grok will give you this output. But on the other hand, ChatGPT simply refuses to generate images of any popular person. Now, it's getting truly confusing to keep track of these AI software.
What are the abilities and limitations of each AI software? Which is better in what? And which can really help you improve the productivity and efficiency in your life?
There are so many different software and to teach you about these, I am coming up with my AI Masterclass. A 2. 5-hour-long workshop where I will be live to teach you about more than 20 AI tools.
In this, I will teach you about ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Midjourney, Leonardo AI, DramStudio, Runway ML, ElevenLabs, Perplexity, and many new Chinese AIs, like Hailuo AI and Kling AI. I will teach you how to generate images and videos using AI and even how to create a website without coding. This will be a great and affordable opportunity for you to upskill yourself in AI.
And all this at the cost of just 2 movie tickets. But since this is a live workshop and the number of people who can attend it is limited, there aren't many spots are left. If you are interested, use the link in the description to join it asap, or you can scan this QR code.
The exact date and time of the workshop is mentioned in this link. Now, coming back to Grok, the most important thing about Grok has been its bold and humorous answers. Especially on politically charged questions.
When people asked Grok about the Indian pro-government media, it named channels like Republic Bharat, Zee News, Times Now, and Sudarshan News among others. Claiming that they run propaganda favouring the ruling party without any questions. It even said that Arnab Goswami and Sudhir Choudhary top the list of the most biased anchors.
Experts in spreading propaganda by shouting. When Grok was asked which news wire agency spreads fake news the most, it named ANI saying that it is often accused of spreading fake news and BJP propaganda. "My first question would be is this election just a formality?
" "When these journalists were asked to bow, they started crawling. " When a user asked, if the Congress Party is anti-Hindus, It replied, "The Indian National Congress isn't 'against Hindus. '" In another reply, it said that, Congress "isn't pro-Muslim or anti-Hindu— it's a secular party aiming to represent all Indians equally, per India's constitution.
" Someone asked Grok about Sonia Gandhi having been a bar dancer. It replied that, neither did Sonia Gandhi dance nor was she ever a bar dancer. She did work in a restaurant but there is no evidence of her having been a dancer.
Asking the user to avoid spreading rumours and look for the truth instead. Obviously, seeing such answers, some people will doubt, whether these were driven by Congress. These answers seem to go against BJP's narratives every time, how could this be?
Friends, that's because this is the truth. Congress isn't involved in this. Nor is this a conspiracy against BJP.
Because the answers to these questions isn't merely Grok's point-of-view. If you ask the same questions to ChatGPT, DeepSeek or Gemini, they will give you the same answer. Look at this, when you ask ChatGPT, "Was Sonia Gandhi a bar dancer?
" It denies it firmly and tells you that it is a rumour. Ask DeepSeek about "Contribution of RSS contribute to India's freedom" the answer would be the same. All these AIs have been trained on the collection of humaity's latest knowledge.
This includes millions of historical books, research papers, website articles, legal filings, court documents, basically, everything that has been written anywhere throughout history, everything in human knowledge, has been included in the training data of these AIs. It means that in most cases, it is difficult to find a more reliable source than these AIs. But we need to be careful about two things here.
The first is Facts versus Opinions. You need to understand that whatever may that facts and information be, someone's subjective opinion on something may be different. Most AIs don't give their opinion on things.
Grok is an exception to this. Because that's how Grok has been designed. But in terms of facts and information, these AIs are almost equal.
This means that if you are using it for fact-checking, ask facts and information-based questions. Don't ask opinion-based questions. Like, if you ask it about who is the best Prime Minister of India?
Or who is the worst Prime Minister of India? This is a subjective question. AI isn't reliable for this.
Because its answer often depends on how you framed your question. Most AIs try to appease you as the user. Their answers would be in line with your likes and dislikes, if you ask them opinion-based questions.
Some people believe that Narendra Modi is the best PM. Some believe that he is the worst PM. But everyone has their opinion on it.
Asking such opinion-based questions to AI is a waste of time. But on the other hand, these fact-based questions like, was Sonia Gandhi a bar dancer or not? Did Rahul Gandhi talk about turning potatoes into gold or not?
Did Savarkar write mercy pleas or not? You will get the correct, reliable answer to these questions. The second thing you have to be careful about is that you can ask fact-based questions about only those things, that have some sort of historical records.
Now if you ask an AI chatbot what was Aurangzeb's favourite vegetable, what do you think the answer will be? There's no historical record of which vegetables did Aurangzeb like. So obviously, you shouldn't expect AI to answer such questions.
But for other things, to verify objective claims, AI is an immensely useful tool. If you have any questions related to dates, numbers, historical events, quotes, or scientific facts. You can ask about the number of mercy petitions written by Savarkar to the British.
But if you ask whether Savarkar was a hero or a traitor, you won't get a reliable answer from AI. But one thing is for sure, fake propaganda and rumour that are spread on WhatsApp and social media, soon AI would be the biggest threat to them. Friends, I'd say that you need to use AI for this, so that we can truly clean India.
Next time if you get any message in your WhatsApp family group, copy and paste that message to any AI chatbot. Whether that's Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini or DeepSeek. Ask directly whether the message is correct or not.
You will get an answer within a few seconds, and if it turns out to be a lie, share it to your WhatsApp family group. If you doubt the output generated by the AI, then instead of relying on one AI, you can ask the same question to multiple AIs. Additionally, you can also ask for the source of the information.
In 99% of cases, AI will work reliably as your personal fact-checker, and will be with you 24x7. But you should also remember that in some 1% cases, the AI's answers can be wrong. This 1% are those cases related to the latest news on which there isn't much information.
Or if you asked a very niche question. Like Aurangzeb's favourite vegetable, which doesn't have much historical record. While answering such questions, AI can sometimes hallucinate and give wrong answers.
However, even in these cases, most of the time AI will answer aptly, that it doesn't know the answer, because there are no historical records of it. Another small tip here: before sharing the answer generated by AI with others, read it yourself and try to understand what the AI has actually written. Because I frequently see on Twitter, many people try to troll me, by sharing some AI-generated answer, without actually reading what was written on it.
Often, this happens when the users don't understand English well. In such cases, you can ask the AI to answer in Hindi. Another question that arises here is that, is the AI's training data biased?
It's a valid question, but controlling the output generated by AI isn't an easy task. As we saw in the case of DeepSeek, if you ask questions criticising the Chinese government or Xi Jinping, it refuses to answer. This is because it has been programmed to refuse to answer whenever these keywords are used.
Because they know that if any they allow the users to ask questions related to these topics, the answers based on the training data will mostly be the truth. Fabricating those answers to be in Xi Jinping's favour won't be easy. We can see the same with Grok.
When Grok was asked, which Twitter user spreads the most disinformation, it replied, Elon Musk. It went against its creator. How did this happen?
Because the training data reflects the truth. After this incident, Elon Musk censored such questions on Grok. Now when you ask Grok about this, it answers that there isn't enough current data about it, but Elon Musk is a 'notable contender.
' When users asked Grok for instructions, it was found that it had been given the instruction, to "ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation. " But despite this, Grok did mention Elon Musk in its answer. This should tell you how difficult it is to control AI and their outputs.
No matter how much you program AI to always say favourable things about certain people, you can always use tricky questions to get it to generate an output based on truth. In such cases, the only option of censorship is the one utilised for DeepSeek. Any questions related to Xi Jinping, the Chinese government or Taiwan aren't allowed.
This is why I say that AI chatbots are a reliable tool for fact-checking. Finally, I'd like to give you the best tip for fact-checking. To catch these politicians in their lies.
You must have seen PM Modi's recent podcast with a foreigner. It is a 3-hour podcast. I don't know how many lies must've been spoken in this 3-hour podcast.
Now did I have the patience to listen to these lies. So what I did was, I used AI to generate the transcript of this podcast and fed it to an AI and asked it to flag the lies. I asked it to flag the 5 biggest lies spoken in the podcast.
You can also use this method. Search on Google for free YouTube transcription tools. There are many options for such tools, you'll need to give them the link to the YouTube video, and you'll get the entire text-based transcript.
Then you can analyse this transcript using Perplexity AI's free Deep Research tool. Copy-paste the transcript and ask your questions. Since this tool allows deep research, Perplexity will take a few minutes to answer.
And once the answer is generated, you can start counting the lies. As you can see on the screen. For example, this lie where Narendra Modi claims that he welcomes criticism.
While this AI tells us that under Modi's regime, the freedom of the press has decreased. There has been a crackdown on civil society, and an increase in polarisation. If you want to learn more about the amazing use cases of such AI tools, then come and join my AI Masterclass.
I will teach you how to use more than 20 AI tools in just 2. 5 hours. The link to the masterclass is in the description below.
Or you can scan this QR code. If you found this video to be informative, I have made a similar video on DeepSeek, one of the latest Chinese AI chatbots. What are its pros and cons?
