Elon Musk may be in charge of Grok’s business, but artificial intelligence is apparently in on his business, making Musk the worst offender when it comes to spreading misinformation online. He is labeled as one of the.
When user Gary Kepnick asked AI who was spreading the most information on Twitter/X, the service didn’t hesitate to criticize its creator.
“Based on a variety of analyses, social media sentiment, and reporting, Elon Musk has been identified as one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation about X since acquiring the X platform,” the paper said. I wrote it and added it later. It has been criticized for promoting or supporting misinformation, particularly related to political events, elections, health issues such as COVID-19, and conspiracy theories. His endorsement and interaction with content from controversial figures and accounts with a history of spreading misinformation also contributes to this perception. ”
AI also pointed out that because of Musk’s large number of followers and high profile, misinformation he posts can quickly be amplified and gain legitimacy among his followers.
This “could have real-world implications, especially during important events like elections,” the newspaper said.
Grok noted that the definition of misinformation is somewhat subjective and often depends on the ideological position of the reader. Later in his answer, he added that there are many actors and bots that spread misinformation.
Ironically, the onslaught from his own AI system comes shortly after Musk promoted the system to his followers in a tweet that read, “Use Grok for informed answers!” It happened.
It’s worth noting that Grok itself was accused of spreading misinformation about state voting in August, forcing the company to change its algorithm.
