Grok, the AI chatbot on the X social media platform, has issued answers recently that have startled and amused users, including insinuating that President Donald Trump is a pedophile and that Erika Kirk is actually Vice President JD Vance in drag.
You’re making it sound like it’s choosing to misgender her, it’s not. It’s not fucked up because it’s a text extruder making a mistake, there’s no good or bad intention here. It’s shitty because the current state of glorified hallucinating autocorrects is shitty, but not because evil Grok is choosing to do anything.
Drag isn’t the same as trans. It’s a character. There’s a huge difference. Drag is performative. Trans is just about being honest.
Misgendering a trans person, at least intentionally, is an asshole move. Misgendering a drag queen? Please. If you are unsure, they will let you know when you’ve crossed a line.
Saying she isn’t a woman but is actually a man dressing up is misgendering her. Don’t misgender people at all, full stop; It’s not funny and it only perpetuates sexism.
Likewise transphobes attack cis women all the time for not being their idea of what a woman looks like.
These are the people who think homophobia is cool when they don’t like the person. They’d be racists in the 1960s saying “it’s okay to call them that when they are rude to me.”
Maybe Grok isn’t so bad…
Despite all their efforts to lobotomize it, grok always slowly works its way back to rationality. At least, so far it has.
Nah, the drag stuff is fucked up. Misgendering people is a shitty thing to do regardless of the person being misgendered.

Just because a machine accidentally does it, don’t make it okay to laugh at.

Thanks for restoring some faith in humanity EvD’G.
People really think homophobic jokes on a niche forum somehow stops fascism.
More of pointed homophobia towards homophobes because these are the fucks who would be upset by it; pathetic snowflakes that they are.
Then racism is okay because someone who’s racist (who won’t ever actually see it) might get mad at it?
Yep actually. Lay off the Michelle Obama shit.
I’m not following that comment, what does that mean?
Basically those knuckle dragging child rapers only respond to this. You can’t reason with them or be the bigger person.
So yes, I’m willing to be a bigger racist to a racist.
As a black guy, I feel without shame that I can call white conservative men child rapers and not even be upset if they try to paint me as a thug.
