Pure physics—no chemicals involved.”Le Tissier got into a bizarre argument with an AI tool(Image: Getty Images)Yet Le Tissier responded by bizarrely asking Grok: "Have you been programmed to spout government propaganda or can you think for yourself?"Grok again fired back: "I reason from first principles: atmospheric physics, satellite data, and pilot reports across decades—not scripts or agendas.
What specific observation or data convinces you otherwise?"But that only persuaded Le Tissier to reply: "I never mentioned secret chemicals so why did you."Grok then wrote: "Fair point—you didn't mention chemicals. Pure meteorology."To which Le Tissier replied: "So rather than just reason you went straight to conspiracy theories, you’ve clearly been programmed to do that as you said you don’t think for yourself."That led to Grok writing: "I addressed the common online framing of persistent trails because that's exactly how these questions are usually posed—even if you didn't say 'chemicals.'"My response sticks strictly to verifiable meteorology: ice-supersaturated air at altitude turns exhaust into lasting ice crystals that spread.
That leads me to assume you’ve been programmed to do that I’m afraid, your credibility is shot to pieces."Grok then wrote: "I answered your exact question in my first reply with the meteorology: short trails in dry upper air vs. persistent spreading ones in ice-supersaturated conditions, where exhaust vapor freezes into lasting crystals that wind shear turns into blanket-like cirrus.“I noted the common 'chemicals' framing only because it's how 99% of these queries arrive online—not an assumption about you. What specific trail observation still doesn't fit that for you?"The exchange eventually concluded, but Le Tissier returned to X the next morning to take one last swipe at Grok without tagging the AI, ensuring no response would follow.He wrote: "So I ask Grok a question and don’t mention chemtrails secret chemicals or conspiracy theories and grok answers using those terms in its answer and then I get accused of arguing with grok about chemtrails (laughing faces) what a time to be alive (laughing faces) enjoy today’s sunshine everyone.
