Overview
- Beck released a YouTube video featuring a sit-down with an AI George Washington avatar that responds in simplified, modern language.
- He claims the bot was built solely from founding-era primary documents on an isolated server and will generate answers without hallucinations.
- The digital Washington appears in a black T-shirt in a podcast-style set, and reviewers pointed out noticeable lip-sync and production issues.
- Beck says The Torch will begin rolling out January 5 with new history programming and related content over the following 12 months.
- Commentators question whether the AI’s answers reflect Beck’s worldview, and his assertion of a top-three private cache of founding documents has not been independently verified.
