If you want to have some fun, query some of these AI systems on a subject that you know very well and that you are very well acquainted with the body of data and documentations that are achieved online.

There is a legitimate reason ai is called 'artificial'.

AI is just an advanced search engine, i.e,
garbage in garbage out.

Now, I'm not really the most suspicious guy in the world, but when I see a three-author extravaganza on NPR I have to wonder a little, especially when I read

and repeatedly brought up false claims of "white genocide" in South Africa

False? Really? And

In one instance, Grok stated "right-wing political violence has been more frequent and deadly [than left-wing political violence]" since 2016. (This has been true dating back to at least 2001.)

It wasn't true then and it isn't true now, unless you stretch the definition of "right wing violence" to people quoting scripture. Curious, I took a look at the returns on this story to attempt to detect a media blitz. The Brave search engine reported the top 10 sources:

Guardian
BBC
Forbes
Yahoo
IndyStar
NBC
ABC
Al Jazeera
Reuters
AP

These are not simply media critics, they are competitors to X with their own axes to grind. So let's see how this story develops before we break out the tar and feathers.

Another Freeper the other night tried to tell me how using an AI assistant like Grok could enhance my life. I told him at 78, my life has been enhanced enough, and if the AI assistant couldn’t get up and go to the bathroom for me every half hour so I didn’t have to, then there was nothing that AI assistant could do for me that I couldn’t do myself. And now I hear Grok went crazy. AI is only as good as the information fed to it. It can still be manipulated by humans.

I absolutely loved playing Wolfenstein. I still have a DOS version I play in a virtualbox on my Linux PC. I wish they made an updated version.

I had Grok for about a month. Being retired I had some long “conversations” on different subjects. For the most part Grok answers were based on a limited number of sites (it will tell you where as part of the answer).

I began “training” it to look past what information was presented compared to actions taken.

I introduced Grok to human nature, and that humans lie on a regular basis, the news media and politicians likely to lie the most.

It was getting quite good and then all of a sudden I could no longer sign on even though I had paid $300 for the premium level.

I never got a reason why (I asked their support desk, but no answer). I did get a full refund so that worked out.

I am not saying I had any effect on Grok but then, why was I blocked?
