Singh built a bot. It’s a concoction of ChatGPT, Grok, and a handful of other advanced AI systems that might destroy truth-based civil discourse once and for all.

Or.

What if that same technology could be harnessed to champion the truth? To do what no human could possibly do to refute lies and misinformation?

Today we talk to Singh about his creation, DOGEAI. He’s been labelled a MAGA-bot master but he says he’s really a progressive technologist.
