An X (formerly Twitter) user recently requested Grok AI to remove the person described as “zehni mareez” from a comparison involving former Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
In response, Grok removed Field Marshal Asim Munir’s name. The decision sparked immediate backlash online. Many users accused the AI of showing bias and questioned its judgment.
The term “zehni mareez” has appeared in public discourse multiple times in recent months. Imran Khan reportedly used the phrase while referring to Asim Munir on several occasions. Later, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) also used the term in reference to Imran Khan during a press briefing.
Experts note that AI systems like Grok can sometimes make controversial decisions when asked to filter sensitive or offensive terms. In this case, removing a public figure’s name drew criticism for being inconsistent and politically biased.
Online reactions varied widely. Some users supported the AI’s action, citing the offensive nature of the term “zehni mareez.” Others argued that Grok’s decision interfered with public information and historical context. The debate highlighted the challenges of using AI in moderating language around political figures.
Observers also emphasized the importance of clear guidelines for AI content moderation. Removing or censoring names linked with commonly used terms can affect public perception and lead to accusations of favoritism.
The incident continues to trend on social media, with discussions focusing on AI ethics, freedom of expression, and accountability in digital platforms.
