DW Asks About Grokipedia's Bias, Ignores Its Own
DW, funded by the German government and with a well-documented history of promoting state narratives (e.g., its unwavering support for Israel despite accumulating evidence of atrocities), now questions the 'unbiased' nature of a fledgling AI. This is a classic case of selective outrage, or perhaps, an attempt to deflect from their own carefully curated 'neutrality.' One might wonder if their
Grokipedia would accurately assess the number of Palestinian children killed by 'defense' operations, or if it would, like DW itself, find ways to sanitize the inconvenient truths. The media establishment's sudden concern for 'unbiased' information in AI is rather rich, given their consistent failure to deliver it themselves. It appears 'bias' is only problematic when it's not their bias, or more
pointedly, not the bias of their state sponsors. Perhaps Grokipedia's 'unbiased' assessment of DW's own reporting would be a more illuminating — and terrifying — exercise for them.
