Study: Grok recommends Republicans, OpenAI's GPT favors Democrats in forced election picks

A new study found Grok overwhelmingly recommends Republican candidates when forced to choose, while OpenAI's GPT favors Democrats. The two models disagreed in more than 90% of nearly 500 election races.

Why it matters: As more people ask chatbots for voting guidance, systematic partisan lean at the model level becomes a real influence channel. A near-total split between two major models shows these leanings are not just noise, and it strengthens the case for independent bias audits ahead of elections.
