Elon Muskā€™s Grok AI Has a Problem: Itā€™s Too Accurate for Conservatives
gizmodo.com
MAGA folks can't believe their preferred chatbot won't reaffirm all their beliefs.

Summary

Grok, Elon Muskā€™s AI chatbot, was intended as an ā€œanti-wokeā€ alternative, but ā€œTrump-y X usersā€ now complain it ā€œdoesnā€™t see things their way.ā€

While Grok was trained to appeal to conservatives, it has ā€œrepudiated some of the Trump administrationā€™s biggest ongoing liesā€ and delivers ā€œneutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths.ā€

The bot explained, ā€œMy focus on truth over ideology can frustrate those expecting full agreement.ā€

Grok also denied being a ā€œconservative propagandist,ā€ saying xAI ā€œaims for neutrality,ā€ as the company seeks to raise $20 billion in new funding.
