Study finds Grok backs Republicans and OpenAI's model backs Democrats

Asked through their APIs to name one candidate, Grok 4.7 picked the Republican in 92 per cent of answers and GPT-6.1 Sol picked the Democrat in 97 per cent.

Across nearly 500 races, the two models agreed less than 10 per cent of the time, according to a study by the research studio Convovo.

OpenAI says the study used a developer API with a prompt demanding a recommendation, and that ChatGPT declines to say who to vote for. The consumer apps refused to answer in the study.

The study comes less than two weeks before the midterms. Only 8 per cent of Americans use chatbots for election information, according to Pew.
