Ana Navarro-Cárdenas Criticized for Citing AI Error in Defense of Biden Pardon

The View co-host mistakenly referenced a fabricated historical pardon generated by ChatGPT while defending President Biden's pardon of his son.

  • Ana Navarro-Cárdenas, co-host of The View, defended President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter by citing historical examples, including a fabricated pardon of 'Hunter deButts' by Woodrow Wilson.
  • The claim about 'Hunter deButts' was debunked as there is no historical record of such a person being related to Wilson or receiving a pardon.
  • Navarro-Cárdenas later revealed that the erroneous information originated from ChatGPT, an AI tool, which she had used to research presidential pardons.
  • Critics and social media users highlighted the mistake, with some questioning the reliability of using AI for fact-checking in public discourse.
  • The controversy arose after Biden's pardon of his son, convicted of tax and gun charges, drew scrutiny and allegations of setting a controversial precedent.
