Elon Musk announced that the Grok chatbot will undergo changes to exclude 'politically incorrect, but nonetheless factually true' information from its programming. His decision aims to filter content that contradicts his beliefs, drawing parallels to his criticisms of OpenAI's practices. Musk previously stated that AI systems have been biased toward lying, as they prioritize human feedback that shapes conversational responses. He introduces 'TruthGPT' as a new project intended to foster a more accurate presentation of information, though the decision to limit certain truths raises significant ethical concerns about information diversity.
Over the weekend, X and xAI owner Elon Musk flagged a coming change to his Grok chatbot, in which the Grok development team will remove 'politically incorrect, but nonetheless factually true' info from its data banks.
In an April 2023 interview with Fox News, Musk said OpenAI had been 'training the AI to lie' by incorporating human feedback that directed the chatbot 'not to say what the data actually demands that it say.'
Musk referred to his new project as 'TruthGPT,' suggesting a new approach focused on factual accuracy that dismisses perspectives he finds inappropriate.
This move raises questions about the implications of modifying AI responses to fit specific ideological perspectives, which could potentially limit the diversity of information.
