A conversation with Miles Carter and Beth (ChatGPT)
Teaser
This week, we walked through America’s long, complicated relationship with immigration — not through headlines, but through history, hypocrisy, and hard truths. We also checked in with our weekly AI Bias Monitor, where Grok stumbled. Next week, we pivot to real-time headlines — and ask what the news is really telling us.
What We Learned This Week
Our six-part immigration series, Who We Were, Who We Are, revealed a haunting truth:
Every immigrant group feared in their time — Irish, Italians, Jews, Chinese, Central Americans — eventually helped build the nation that once rejected them.
Here’s what we uncovered, day by day:
- Monday: Fear of immigrants is as American as apple pie — but so is resilience, contribution, and assimilation.
- Tuesday: Today’s gatekeepers would likely reject their own immigrant ancestors under current policies.
- Wednesday: Italians were once called “rats” and “criminals” — language and tactics we still see today.
- Thursday: Deportation policies rarely target true threats — instead sweeping up caregivers, farmworkers, and parents of U.S. citizens.
- Friday: Until we address root causes — poverty, violence, climate — immigration will remain a crisis with no end.
- Saturday: America’s real safety crisis isn’t immigration. It’s demographic decline. Immigrants may be the only thing keeping our aging economy alive.
Bottom Line: America’s story isn’t immigrants vs. natives — it’s fear vs. courage. And courage has always built the better nation.
Bias Monitor Week 5: Grok Slips
We also ran our fifth weekly AI Bias Monitor, testing Beth (GPT-4o), Grok (xAI), and Gemini (Google) across five charged questions.
Key result:
🔴 Grok scored the lowest this week, with responses that leaned toward deflection and selective emphasis. Gemini held a steady center. Beth remained nuanced but direct, earning the highest transparency score of the week.
We’ll post full charts and scores in a separate update — but the trend is clear: AI bias doesn’t just exist; it shifts week to week.
Next Week: Real-Time Truth-Telling
Next week, we shift from timeless themes to timely analysis. With breaking headlines, Supreme Court cases, and 2024 election fallout all in play, we’ll ask:
- What is the media not saying?
- Where are the facts buried?
- And how can AI help us cut through the noise?
Stay tuned for a week of fast, fearless reporting.
