An SI chatbot has become a sounding board for the biggest decisions, and how to use and verify it is being learned on the fly.
According to Time (as relayed by TechCrunch), at a meeting with Elon Musk in December 2025, Trump spoke with the Grok chatbot "for hours," including asking how Venezuelans would react to the detention of President Nicolás Maduro. According to the same report, Grok answered that many would probably welcome his departure, and after the January 3 operation Trump decided the chatbot was "genius." The reaction of the White House and xAI is not given in the piece.
