AI overview

Convovo found that Grok 4.7 recommended Republicans in 92% of answers and OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Sol chose Democrats in 97% when prompted through APIs to choose candidates across nearly 500 midterm races. Those results came from API tests; the consumer apps refused the original prompt, a distinction OpenAI emphasized. In a follow-up sample of 30 races with search disabled, GPT-6.1 Sol’s preference for Democrats persisted, while Grok 4.7 mostly declined to choose. Convovo researcher Tapan Parikh attributed that difference to training versus search patterns.
