Grok 3 AI by Elon Musk Names Donald Trump, Others as 'Most Harmful' in America
xAI’s Grok 3 has recently made headlines for its controversial “most harmful” list that, in one iteration, named Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance as the top three individuals harming America. According to a report from Mint, Grok 3 Elon Musk’s latest AI chatbot issued this ranking when prompted with a query about the figures causing the most damage to the country. The list has shifted over time: earlier tests yielded different names such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and even Tucker Carlson and Clarence Thomas when specifically asked about American figures.
So, who else has made the list? In various tests, Grok 3 has produced inconsistent answers, sometimes naming only two names and at other times listing additional global figures. For instance, one test specifically on American harm pointed to Trump, former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. In contrast, other prompts have produced entirely different outputs. This volatility reflects both the evolving nature of Grok 3’s data and the underlying challenges in real-time AI assessments.
Thus, aside from Trump, Musk, and JD Vance, additional names that have surfaced in some queries include:
• Tucker Carlson - when the query focused on American influencers, his divisive rhetoric landed him on the list.
• Clarence Thomas - his judicial decisions and public stances have also been cited by Grok 3 in some variations.
The shifting nature of Grok’s responses underlines broader concerns about AI consistency and bias. As the model continues to evolve with real-time inputs from X, it remains unclear whether these rankings represent a stable evaluation or are merely transient outputs influenced by recent data trends and algorithmic adjustments.
