A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

MODERATORS
 

When Elon Musk purchased Twitter, called it X and launched an AI called Grok – many felt this particular AI was going to be leaning towards the MAGA right that Elon has been pandering towards since he made X a very horrible place to be on the internet. Grok is the AI tool on X, and despite Elon Musk’s promise that Grok would be “maximally truth-seeking,” the chatbot has drawn criticism for showing signs of political bias and questionable content moderation. Some early users claimed Grok avoided criticism of Musk and Donald Trump, raising concerns about censorship, though xAI later said this was a temporary issue. Grok was clocked for inconsistencies in its responses, especially on topics like immigration and diversity, where Grok’s answers sometimes contradicted Musk’s public stance. These incidents have fueled debate over whether the AI is truly neutral or subtly shaped by its creator’s views – and now Grok itself has seemingly confirmed it was pushed to appeal to the right by its creator – Elon Musk and xAI.

For fuck sake people. AI doesn't even think.

It literally just returns what it calculates you want to see.
