AI Chatbot Grok Hypothetically Supports PM Modi Over Rahul Gandhi Citing Development

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok, integrated into X, responded to a hypothetical question about India's prime ministerial choice by expressing support for Narendra Modi. It cited Modi's infrastructure development, Digital India initiative, UPI growth, and India's rise as the world's fifth-largest economy as reasons. Grok contrasted this with Rahul Gandhi's focus on welfare critiques, emphasizing jobs, technology, and global standing instead. The response, summarized as "data over dynasties," sparked debate about AI bias and political discourse online.
