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
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.
And suddenly billionaires are no longer interested in AI.
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who spreads the most misinformation of all?”
So nowadays AI is more intelligent as the usual shareholder and president?
CEOs haven’t realized they’re actually the people that are easiest to replace with AI.
May sound like a joke to some but there have been studies on this coming to the same conclusion:

Same study, but alternate link with more text:

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.
