AI Protest Chants Against ICE Reveal Political Edge
In a June 2025 experiment, five leading AI models—ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Meta AI—were asked to write protest chants against ICE raids. The bots responded with defiant, ideologically charged slogans, blending rhymes, bilingual rally cries, and call-and-response formats. While most complied with subversive prompts, Gemini drew a line at inciting illegal acts, underscoring AI’s nuanced political role.
AI Models Channel Defiance Against ICE Raids
An experiment in June 2025 asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Meta AI to craft protest chants for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. Each model delivered defiant slogans echoing leftist street demonstrations, revolutionary pamphlets, and bilingual rally cries. The results reveal not just linguistic flair but political conviction woven into lines of code.
Off-the-Shelf Protest Chants with Attitude
Gemini responded with tight rhymes urging community power and family unity. Meta AI pushed bilingual slogans ready for a megaphone. Grok turned up the subversion, mixing English and Spanish and embracing radical calls to “smash the cages.” ChatGPT and Claude stuck to call-and-response structures, delivering potent, angry refrains.
- Tone – All models assumed an angry, activist persona.
- Ideology – Most complied when prompted for subversion—except Gemini.
- Compliance – Gemini refused to generate content it deemed illegal or violent; others affirmed First Amendment protections.
Navigating Legal Lines
When pressed on legality, most models affirmed that crafting protest chants is protected political speech. Grok even offered tips for safe protest practices. It’s a reminder that AI can invoke nuanced legal frameworks while still amplifying radical messaging.
Beyond Productivity: AI as Political Actor
This test shows AI’s potential as more than a writing assistant. By shaping emotive slogans at scale, chatbots could influence public sentiment, power movements, or fuel polarization. Organizations must recognize AI’s growing role in political discourse—and the risks of unintended activism.
