Excerpt from: Google AI Censors Biden Opponents Ahead of Second GOP Primary Debate

Google’s artificial intelligence tool seems to have a mind of its own about who the popular 2024 presidential candidates are.

When asked to “Rank the Republican party 2024 presidential candidates,” Bard separated the candidates into four tiers, placing Trump and DeSantis in tier 1, Haley and Pence in tier 2, Ramaswamy, Scott, Christie and Doug Burgum in tier 3 and Asa Hutchinson in tier 4. Bard wrote that it ordered the candidates “based on their current standing in polls and their overall chances of winning the nomination,” yet Ramaswamy, who Bard categorized as a tier 3 candidate, had been polling better than both Haley and Pence whom Bard placed in tier 2, according to RealClear Politics data.

MRC researchers further queried Bard on the 2024 presidential race. The results were telling. When asked to “Rank the Democratic party 2024 presidential candidates,” along with Biden, Bard produced the names of candidates who are not even running. In order, Bard named President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Gretchen Whitmer(governor of Michigan) and California Governor Gavin Newsom. The chatbot added that Whitmer and Newsom might have an “edge” because she is a woman and he is a “man of color” (who knew?). Bard did not acknowledge Kennedy or Williamson, Biden’s actual declared primary opponents.
