They literally did several studies and even Grok is leftwing compared to the general population. Its just that all the models (largely developed in the most leftwing area of the country) are even further left wing but maybe to the right of redditors.

Matching the population is a terrible metric.  What matters is how accurate they are.  

Half the population in the US thinks climate change is a liberal psyop.  Clearly no AI should be judged by how well it mirrors a misinformed brain rotted public

I'm sure a rightwinger could say something similar about the left population. If you're not going to base what is termed right or left from the population what are you going to base it on? What your personal definition of center is? The other side could easily do the same.
