The Trump administration appears to have changed its new artificial intelligence chatbot so that it no longer corrects the president's false claims, according to a new fact check.
President Donald Trump launched the America.gov chatbot Tuesday and touted it as "damn good," but CNN's Daniel Dale reported soon after that the tool was contradicting many of the president's claims about elections, the economy, immigration and foreign affairs with answers based on official federal information.
On Wednesday, Dale said on social media that the chatbot had stopped answering such questions.
"The Trump administration appears to have changed its AI chatbot so that it no longer debunks Trump lies," Dale wrote.
He said the tool had stated on Tuesday that Joe Biden won the 2020 election and that there was no sign of widespread fraud. By Wednesday, the chatbot said it couldn't answer those questions.
The same thing happened with inflation, Dale said. On Tuesday, the chatbot said it wasn't true that Trump had inherited the worst inflation in history, noting that 12-month inflation was 3 percent when he took office in January 2025. On Wednesday, the bot said it couldn't answer that question either.
"It's the same for numerous other topics," Dale wrote. "Notably, its accurate answers yesterday relied on official federal information."
Dale's original fact check listed other corrections the chatbot made on Tuesday:
Asked about the corrections, the White House said in an unsigned email that America.gov "will continue to be updated to provide more features, resources, and the most accurate information from the federal government."
