They test the Rhodes model available on RFAB.ai against mainstream systems, starting with the 6 million Holocaust figure, then moving to claims of systemic discrimination against white men, the “Great Replacement,” the Michelle Obama conspiracy theory, and even a tongue-in-cheek question about the Collins family running the Illuminati. Malcolm repeatedly stresses that these are not their opinions , not academic consensus, and not claims they endorse. This is an experiment in pushing an AI as far as possible while still staying in the realm of evidence-based arguments. They also feed the Rhodes responses into Grok for a counter-perspective and use RFAB’s SuperSearch feature to fact-check key statistics in real time.

This is part of an experiment, and any time I put out a piece that could be considered misinformation or overly biased information, I am always going to then correct it afterwards with what we know to be true- Okay ... and what historians and academics agree on. [00:00:45] Okay. [00:00:45] Simone Collins: Okay? Okay. [00:00:46] Malcolm Collins: Okay. So it’s very important, right?
