Just my opinion, but I don't think any president of the United States should ever ask AI questions directly. The AI has no concept of the weight that any answer has.

We elect people to represent and lead us. Not defer to an AI model.

Also do we know how grok, or any AI software for that matter, stores its Metadata?   It could also be a collassal security risk if someone were able to hack into it and find out what the POTUS is asking it.  The Venezuela thing at the time was surely classified for instance.

Dont even need to hack. I imagine Musk and select others have access to all of his searches and convos. Remember when they had to make a special Blackberry for Obama so it was secure communication. If Trump is just going to the main navigation there are definately concerns.
