Another example. I have asked grok  a few times variations on a question and gotten different answers.
I was told that there were 100M books in Ukraine in the Ukrainian language and RU had destroyed 1000 libraries and 200M of the 100M books.

I asked again and asked for a detailed answer. Here is a edited down answer. The answer has much speculation as Grok tries to explain the huge totals from the Ukr govt. Jump to the conclusion.

QuoteAbout how many books in the ukrainian language existed in Ukraine around 2010? How many have the Russians destroyed?

Official Ukrainian sources, such as the State Language Protection Commissioner Taras Kremin, claim over 200 million Ukrainian books have been lost since the full-scale invasion started, with nearly a thousand libraries destroyed or damaged

. However, "lost" likely includes books that are inaccessible due to occupation, not just physically destroyed, which complicates the figure. Other estimates suggest hundreds of thousands to a few million books physically destroyed, based on reports of systematic looting and burning.

Conclusion
Around 2010, research suggests 20–50 million Ukrainian-language book copies existed in Ukraine, based on publishing recovery and library holdings. Since 2014, and particularly since 2022, Russian forces have likely destroyed millions of these books, with estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to a few million physically destroyed, though official claims of over 200 million lost likely include inaccessible books, adding complexity to the figures.

For fun as Grok "how many Ukrainian children were taken into Russia against their will?"  Kiev recently provided a  list of 340 names.

Grok Is Using a Far-Left "Fact Check" website to Smear and Censor Conservative Outlets on X with 'Low Credibility' Label – But Lists Far-Left and Liberal Mainstream Outlets as 'High Credibility'

X Is No Longer Trustworthy!

Recently, Grok and X have apparently turned to a new source to determine which media outlets are blocked and censored and which outlets get the green light.

What we found was very disturbing.

Grok and X are now working with the far-left "fact check" website Media Bias-Fact Check website to determine what outlets are trustworthy versus those that have "low credibility."

This is just astonishing!

Years go a lib relative used such sources to smear The Duran. She believes these fact checkers.

I followed TGP on X and did not see any such X opinions on their posts.

I asked Grok directly about The Grayzone, The Duran and Garland Nixon. It gave plusses and minuses for all but as outside opinions not facts. . Grayzone and Nixon ID as left or progressive. I find Grayzone fact based. Nixon is folksy and long winded. Duran says they are reality based. Grayzone is used to being attacked by left and right so they try to back up everything.

Since I mentioned The Grayzone above.
They have their biases and opinions but when they recite facts they can back them up. I can stand people who have different opinions from me.
Many on the left hate them because they did not fall for Russiagate and do not support many leftist causes.

Max asked some aggressive questions at some AI conference and was escorted out.
He can be a drama queen and was here. IMO he wanted to be thrown out. 
Not worth watching IMO.

Watch our report from the Special Competitive Studies Project AI Expo, where the leaders of the US war and spying state gathered for three days – and called the cops on any reporter who questioned them too critically

Their book launch for the Management of Savagery was forced out of the proposed bookstore Politics and Prose under immense pressure from the powerful in DC.

If you want a somewhat funny intro to Max Blumenthal watch the book launch below. BUT it is long.

I asked Grok about Garland Nixon. His to do list was a list of evil things to do

November 2022 Permanent Suspension:
Reason Cited by Twitter: Nixon's suspension notice cited "hateful conduct" for a satirical "to-do" list targeting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The tweet was reported by a pro-Ukrainian group known as NAFO (North Atlantic Fella Organization), which claimed credit for flagging it.


February 2023 Satirical Tweet on Taiwan:
Reason: Nixon posted a satirical tweet on February 16, 2023, claiming "White House insiders leak" that President Biden had a plan for the "destruction of Taiwan." The tweet was misinterpreted by some, including a former Taiwanese legislator, as serious, leading to accusations of disinformation. Nixon later confirmed it was a joke, but it contributed to another suspension.



August 2023 Permanent Ban:
Reason Cited by Twitter/X: According to X user @nick_brana
, Twitter claimed it could no longer verify Nixon's account ownership, despite Nixon reportedly providing "mountains of evidence" to prove his identity. This was perceived as a pretext for a politically motivated ban.
