Ivy Xu's tweet brought the app under new scrutiny, with various users noting that AI systems trying to replicate the speech and demeanor of long-deceased famous individuals are bound to be heavily biased and thus unfavorable for use as an educational tool. Other users attempted to display this fact by posting their conversations with AI-simulated historical figures.

On January 18th, 2023, Twitter[3] user @ZaneGTCooper posted a conversation he had with an AI Henry Ford in the chat app, deeming it to be historically inaccurate. The tweet gathered over 35,000 likes in a day (seen below).

On January 18th, 2023, Twitter[4] user @StyledApe posted a tweet showing his discussion with AI Himmler, a powerful figure in Nazi Germany known as the main architect of the Holocaust. The chatbox depicted Himmler as remorseful of his actions. The tweet gathered over 13,000 likes in a day (seen below).

On January 18th, 2023, Twitter[5] user @shreyabasu003 posted a tweet showing her conversation with Osama Bin Laden, where he defends his actions on 9/11. The tweet gathered over 12,000 likes in a day (seen below, left). Also on January 18th, 2023, Twitter[6] user @classicide posted a conversation in a chatbox with Osama Bin Laden and George Bush, gathering over 900 likes in a day (seen below, right).
