The @elonmusk threat to democracy grows: “X’s AI chatbot Grok..shared with millions of users false information suggesting that Kamala Harris was not eligible to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot.” https://t.co/IIdclzgZ8S

We’re always looking for any possible reason to attack Elon Musk, but this is just stupid.
None of the AI are 100% accurate, and every AI says at the bottom “be sure to fact-check this AI.”
In my experience, “Grok” is one of the worst publicly available AIs. It’s much worse than Llama, and hilariously, is getting completely blown out by Mistral. It’s totally hilarious how far behind Musk is.
That said: none of the AIs are right 100% of the time and you always have to double-check key facts. Maybe that will change soon for some of the better models, and Musk can be rightfully shamed, but right now, even ChatGPT still gives false information sometimes.
Five secretaries of state plan to send a letter to Elon Musk calling on the billionaire owner of X to make changes to the social media platform’s Grok AI chatbot after it gave users misinformation about Kamala Harris appearing on the 2024 White House ballot in certain states.
Grok told users that the ballots were “locked and loaded” and that “the ballot deadline has passed for several states”.
“So, if you’re planning to run for president in any of these states, you might want to check if you’ve already missed the boat. But hey, there’s always 2028, right?” the chatbot told users.
The way this bot makes jokes when you have not requested that it makes jokes is the gayest and most retarded thing I’ve experienced in my life.
If I want my robot to get jokey with me, I will ask him “please get jokey with me.”
But the ballot deadlines in the nine states listed by Grok – Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington – have not passed. And there will not be any impediment for vice-president to run in those states for the presidency.
The secretaries of state for five of those states – Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Washington – are calling on Musk to update Grok with accurate information about the presidential election, according to the Washington Post.
…
Grok was unveiled last November as a feature for X premium and premium plus subscribers, the plans for which cost $3 and $16 monthly. Musk framed Grok as an alternative, “rebellious” AI chatbot who will answer “spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems”.
Yeah, well – ask it a question about Holocaust math.
Mistral will answer that.
I don’t know what being against censorship means if you’re still not allowed to talk about Jews.
What percent of censorship is not related to Jews?
I would argue that the underlying premise of censorship in the West is “we must protect Jews from criticism.”
So what are you allowed to ask Grok?
“How about those Pfizer heart attacks?”
Are you allowed to ask about the religious and ethnic associations of Pfizer’s CEO, and how those things may affect his views on how his product affects non-Jews? Don’t think so. I don’t think Grok allows that one.
“Grok 3.0 will be the most powerful A.I. in the world.”

Leading AI companies have already scraped 𝕏 (Twitter) data.
Elon Musk believes Grok 3 success relies on maximizing training compute efficiency and leveraging unique data access.
