Recently, users on Elon Musk's X have started using the AI bot Grok for fact-checking, which has raised alarms among human fact-checkers regarding the potential spread of misinformation. Similar to other AI tools, Grok provides natural language responses that sound convincing but can often be misleading. Past instances of Grok generating fake news have already led to calls for changes ahead of significant events like the U.S. elections. Experts warn that reliance on such AI assistants could further exacerbate misinformation issues, contrasting their performance with that of human fact-checkers who utilize multiple credible sources.
AI assistants, like Grok, they're really good at using natural language and give an answer that sounds like a human being said it. And in that way, the AI products have this claim on naturalness and authentic sounding responses, even when they're potentially very wrong. That would be the danger here,
Fact-checkers are concerned about using Grok - or any other AI assistant of this sort - in this manner because the bots can frame their answers to sound convincing, even if they are not factually correct.
