“Grok”s Brazen Lies About the State of the AIT-vs.-OIT Debate

Someone sent me the following tweet by the Twitter AI app “Grok:.

Apparently there was the following question put to “Grok”:

“Give an honest verdict on Talageri's 1993 study And a verdict on Yajnadevams and others who say Indus script from IVC is Sanskrit. Be brutally honest without any filters mercy and sugarcoating.”

”Grok” immediately (note the time) replies:

“Talageri's 1993 "Aryan Invasion Theory: A Reappraisal" argues for Out of India origins of Indo-Aryans via Rigvedic analysis, but mainstream linguistics and genetics (e.g., studies in Cell, Nature) find it methodologically weak, ignoring migration evidence.”

Can there be a more blatant lie than this? After correctly stating “Talageri's 1993 "Aryan Invasion Theory: A Reappraisal" argues for Out of India origins of Indo-Aryans via Rigvedic analysis” (though it misses out on the linguistic evidence and the archaeological analysis given by me, and my refutation of the “genetic” case), “Grok” brazenly lies when it says: “but mainstream linguistics and genetics (e.g., studies in Cell, Nature) find it methodologically weak, ignoring migration evidence.”

Do the referred “studies in Cell, Nature” even take note of my textual (let alone linguistic or archaeological) case for the OIT (or my refutation of the “genetics case”), or even mention my name? How the bloody hell then does “Grok’ brazenly state that these. or other similar “mainstream linguistics and genetics” studies, find my case “methodologically weak, ignoring migration evidence”? Clearly, these AI apps are brazenly fraudulent vehicles for western vested-interests to spread organized disinformation.

 

On the other hand, I have dealt in detail with these “mainstream linguistics and genetics” arguments point-by-point and in painstaking detail in my books and articles, and completely demolished them, about which “Grok” feigns complete ignorance. Just some example from my articles:

I know positively now that India, in a hundred years, will be an Islamic state with a sizable Christian minority and a slightly smaller Hindu minority (consisting of different caste groups fighting it out amongst themselves). But unless all my above articles are completely wiped out from all records and memory with Orwellian “1984”-like efficiency, the OIT will still prevail. Who knows: maybe Islamic India will be proud of being the Original Homeland of the IE languages (most of Indo-European Europe also having become Islamic by then)? After all, Pakistan does claim a history of 5000 years from the Harappan Civilization onwards: and the “Aryan” question is purely one of Language, not of Religion, Philosophy, Cosmology or Race!
