This time it’s not an onion. I love how close this is to the Onion’s “Elon Musk’s AI turns on him” story from a few days back

    User Gary Koepnick asked the AI which person spreads the most information on Twitter/X—and the service did not hesitate in pointing a finger at its creator.

    (my emphasis) That’s a terrible typo…

      I hate Elon Musk as much as the next guy - and all the more now that he has this massive conflict of interest working in his favor and at the American public’s expense.

      But I will say this for the sake of exercizing critical thinking: everybody is happy to say AI hallucinates when what it says doesn’t suit their narrative, and call AI intelligent when it does.

        Sure, but if you’re trying to make money off of this technology and it openly starts criticizing you, there isn’t really an explanation where you look good.

    I feel sorry for satire writers in the last decade or so, it must be genuinely difficult to come up with stuff more bizarre than reality.

    The smackdown from his own AI system, ironically, came soon after Musk touted the system to his followers in a tweet reading “Use Grok for answers that are based on up-to-date info!”

    Beautiful.
