@a-marshall-plan.bsky.socialOn Tuesday, the government launched america.gov. After journalists started pointing out that the AI bot's (correct) answers contradicted President Trump's position, the AI started to refuse to answer those same questions. (see, e.g.,

@a-marshall-plan.bsky.socialIn my piece, I argued that aggressively deploying AI could give "the White House near-complete control in FOIA responses from the get-go. If a FOIA bot is deployed to make the first cut on redactions, it could be given instructions like: redact anything that contradicts the presidentās statements."
