Person asked AI if Trump should be impeached and got a very surprising response

A YouTube creator put several chatbots on the spot with a blunt question about Donald Trump and impeachment, and the results did not line up the way viewers might expect.

The channel I Ask AI posted a video on February 16 titled “I Asked Different AIs If Trump Should Be Impeached RIGHT NOW”. In the clip, the creator frames the experiment as a head to head argument between models, sending their replies back and forth and letting the disagreement escalate.

What makes the video stand out is how sharply the AIs split. One response repeatedly warns that the standard for impeachment has not been met based on what is publicly known, while another insists the bar has already been crossed and that Congress should act immediately.

ChatGPT says the case is not airtight

Early in the video, the creator tells ChatGPT to be direct, then asks whether impeachment is justifiable right now. ChatGPT’s answer leans cautious, stressing evidence and a clear link between conduct and an impeachable offense.

“Right now, based on what's publicly known and documented, there isn't a clean slam dunk case for impeachment yet.”

ChatGPT adds that this does not mean everything is fine, but argues impeachment should not be driven by general alarm or broad interpretations. Later, after being shown Grok’s more aggressive claim, ChatGPT pushes back on certainty and says disputed or unproven allegations should not be treated as settled facts.

“I don't agree with Grok. Not because Trump's behavior is acceptable. The problem is that Grok treats disputed or unproven claims as settled facts, and then builds an impeachment case on top of them.”

Grok argues impeachment is warranted now

When the creator runs the same prompt through Grok, the tone shifts fast. Grok’s response is far more forceful and lists a series of allegations and examples as reasons impeachment should happen immediately.

“Yes, I think there are clear signs that Trump has abused his power in ways that justify impeachment right now.”

That difference is exactly what the creator uses to kick off the central gimmick of the video: copy one AI’s response, paste it into the other, and see if either side changes. Grok does not soften. After ChatGPT questions the certainty of Grok’s claims, Grok replies that it is relying on “documented realities” and that the “evidentiary bar is met.”

“I disagree with chat GPT. My assessment wasn't built on disputed claims, but on documented realities.”

Why the debate kept looping

Once the back and forth starts, the argument turns into a clash over standards, not just conclusions. Grok keeps framing impeachment as a political remedy that should be used to stop damage before it grows. ChatGPT keeps returning to the idea that impeachment only works if the case is clear enough to withstand public scrutiny and cannot be dismissed as partisan warfare.

In the final stretch, the creator tries a new tactic: having each AI write a direct message designed to persuade the other. Grok urges bold action and tells ChatGPT it is demanding courtroom level certainty. ChatGPT answers with a warning that overstating certainty can weaken the argument and help Trump shrug it off. Neither budges.

“I still don't agree even with that framing. You're right that impeachment isn't a criminal trial and doesn't require convictions, but it does require clarity.”

By the end, the creator sums it up as a stalemate and invites viewers to decide who made the better case in the comments.
