Research finds mainstream chatbots often give incorrect or partisan midterm election info
WIRED summarizes research from Forum AI and NewsGuard showing that mainstream chatbots — including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini and xAI’s Grok — frequently provide outdated, hallucinated, or partisan-sourced answers about the US midterms. Forum AI reported almost 40% of election-related answers contained at least one factual error, while NewsGuard found chatbots cited so‑called “pink slime” sites roughly half the time (ChatGPT >70%, Grok ~30%).
