Greene’s squabble with Grok happened after the Georgia lawmaker posted about her Christian faith on X, writing: “I’m a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus. I’m a nationalist, a proud American, who loves my country and wants to make our home nation is the best place for all American citizens and future generations to come.” …

Another X user ran Greene’s post through Grok, asking the AI bot, “[I]s is true? Is she really a Christian?”

Grok responded by saying that while Greene “identifies as a Christian” by expressing her faith in Jesus Christ and having traditional beliefs, “her Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate.”

    I’m still upset that people haven’t goaded her into taking a one of those ancestry tests and posting the result. Because she is a medical marvel, and has to be the human with the highest percentage of neanderthal DNA for at least ten thousand years.

      Hold up. The Neanderthals were an intelligent race with a well developed culture. Their passing was a sad event.

      MTG on the other hand…

      1. I feel very strongly about characterizing and criticizing someone based on their appearance. I can’t stand the damn idea. It’s lazy when the target has so much else going on that is a valid source of criticism like their ideas and beliefs.
      2. As more archaeological discoveries happen we understand that the Neanderthals were dramatically underestimated. They had art, culture, death rituals and all the rest. They weren’t just cousin’s. They were humans but just a little bit intolerant of the cold. Like office workers.
      3. I bet MTG is in the 95th percentile for Neanderthal DNA. You can just see it in their face and totally understand why that idiot cousin species went extinct. They just couldn’t compete with us.

        There’s only two things in this life I hate: people intolerant of other cultures, and the Dutch.
