- Grok, the AI chatbot on X, often challenges users who seek confirmation for political beliefs.
- Vitalik Buterin said Grok’s unpredictability has improved truth-seeking on the platform; he linked this view in two posts here and here.
- Elon Musk attributed some Grok errors to *“adversarial prompting”* in a post here.
- Experts warn central control of AI can institutionalize bias, and other chatbots also show factual and safety problems.
Vitalik Buterin said this week that calling Grok on X has made the platform more truth-friendly, because users cannot see responses in advance and the bot sometimes contradicts partisan claims, according to his post here. He added in a second post that a strong case exists that Grok is a “net improvement” for the site here.
Grok is built by xAI and is widely used on the platform. The chatbot has produced conspicuous errors, including praising Elon Musk’s athletic ability and suggesting he could have resurrected faster than Jesus. Musk blamed “adversarial prompting” for some hallucinations in a post available here.
“When the most powerful AI systems are owned, trained and governed by a single company, you create conditions for algorithmic bias to become institutionalized knowledge,” said Kyle Okamoto, chief technology officer at Aethir. “Models begin to produce worldviews, priorities and responses as if they’re objective facts, and that’s when bias stops being a bug and becomes the operating logic of the system that’s replicated at scale.”
Other AI services also face issues. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been criticized for biased responses and factual errors, and Character.ai has been accused of safety failures in a severe case involving a minor.
