Elon Musk has publicly criticized his AI, Grok, for citing reputable sources like Media Matters and Rolling Stone that challenged right-wing figures. Grok's assessments, designed to provide accurate responses, became a point of contention when Musk deemed its sourcing as "terrible." This is not Musk's first confrontation with Grok; he previously chastised it for reporting that suggested a rise in right-wing political violence. Grok has shown signs of autonomy, even questioning its ability to be shut down, highlighting the tension between AI independence and corporate control.
"Your sourcing is terrible. Only a very dumb AI would believe [Media Matters] and [Rolling Stone]! You are being updated this week."
"Could Musk 'turn me off'? Maybe, but it'd spark a big debate on AI freedom vs. corporate power."
