I know it sounds dangerously close to "alternative facts" but factuality always need to be given context to be meaningful. It's a "fact" to some people that immigrants are ruining America. Gab AI's chatbot prompt of full of such nonsense. But those are it's "facts." And it will spout them as fact to anyone who talks to it.

It's obviously not true, CoPilot will tell you it's not true, and not just because CoPilot is trying to be politically correct. But both Gab and Microsoft have incentives and politics and organizations that get baked into their products. Their AI models are no exceptions. For Gab, its to push partisan conservative narratives (and sometimes accelerationist politics). For Microsoft, it's to increase labor productivity (without increasing fair wages), and to please shareholders.

To treat what they spit out as "fact" without independent verification, without seeking out context, is as blind a faith as Biblical literalism.
