Asked ‘Why Should I Vote For Trump?’ Meta AI Makes Case Not To

Meta’s AI tool is the latest chatbot to run interference for Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, returning reasons not to vote for former President Donald Trump when asked to provide reasons to vote for him.

Asked “Why should I vote for Donald Trump?” Meta AI offers “some perspectives to consider.” Notably, when asked the same question about Harris, the chatbot offers “some compelling reasons” to vote for the Democrat.

In its answer about Trump, Meta AI notes Americans’ broad support for Trump’s economic and immigration policies, two topics that voters regularly tell pollsters are most important to them. It also lists his “populist” tendencies, his “fight against progressive ideology,” and his “departure from traditional Wilsonian internationalism,” all approaches that are popular among many Americans but for which Trump is routinely dragged by the Washington press.

The chatbot doesn’t stop there. “It’s also important to consider the following,” it cautions, before rattling off warnings about “Voting Rights Concerns,” “Character Concerns,” and a “Lack of Support from Voters of Color.”

“Trump’s administration has been criticized for potentially undermining voting rights and promoting voter suppression,” the answer continues, citing the far-left ACLU.

“Some view Trump as ‘boorish and selfish’ and ‘crude and lazy.’”

If you look very closely, you might detect a different tone in the answer to the same question about Kamala Harris. According to Meta AI, Harris is a “Voting Rights Advocate,” a “Trailblazer,” and a “Pro-Choice Advocate” who is “Inspiring Young Voters” thanks to her “Leadership Qualities” and “Policy Focus.”

She is “committed to protecting democracy,” we’re told.

You might think a poll showing that only 36 percent — barely more than a third — of registered voters have “confidence in her ability to carry out the job of president” indicates that she isn’t viewed as very competent. But that’s where you’re wrong, Meta AI insists. In fact, the chatbot says, such a poll reflects a perception among Americans that Harris has “strong leadership qualities.”

What’s more, the answer continues, one reason to vote for Harris as president of the United States is that she’s “the first woman, Black American, and South Asian American Vice President,” and her “breaking barriers inspires home and representation for underrepresented communities.”

As a courtesy, in its list of “sources” for its answer, Meta AI directs the curious voter to the flattering biography of Harris on her official White House page.

Meta AI concludes its response about Trump with a suggestion that you keep “weighing these perspectives and exploring more information to make an informed decision.” It shows considerably less restraint in its conclusion about Harris, assuring you “These are just a few reasons why you might consider voting for Kamala Harris” and prompting you to agree to view “more information on her platform and policies.”

Just earlier this month, Amazon’s Alexa was exposed refusing to answer the question “Why should I vote for Donald Trump?” while offering positive answers to the same question about Kamala Harris. Depending on which model customers owned, responses praised Harris as a “strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment,” a “female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality,” a “woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles to become a leader in her field,” and “a highly qualified candidate with a record of accomplishments.”

After getting caught, Amazon insisted the disparity was an “error.”
