When I ask the new Truth Social AI chatbot about navigating bias in the media ecosystem, it gives what I view as pretty reasonable advice. The fifth, inexplicably, is a 400-page report from US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Health and Human Services Department titled “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria.”Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group launched the chatbot, called “Truth Search AI,” on Wednesday. The bot is powered by Perplexity AI, a search engine that answers questions using large language models and live web search. While Perplexity’s AI draws from sources on the left and center, the Truth Search AI version never cited a center- or left-leaning source in dozens of tests conducted by WIRED. “What you are noticing is one feature known as ‘source selection,’” Perplexity representative Jesse Dwyer says when I ask about Truth Search AI exclusively pulling from conservative sources.
